When I began participating in theses online discussions about adoption, I believed that I could speak my mind without fear of attack. Not so.
Two days ago, I received an unsolicited email from a troll who verbally assaulted me with profanity for opinions I have posted here and on other adoption sites. I tried to reason with her, but she was unrelenting.
This woman was a teen mother to a now-grown child with ASD and mild CP. She parented this child and resents the struggle to do so. Sadly, she is now an adoptive mother to a baby girl whose birthmother she speaks of in the most disrespectful terms. She is also advertising hoping to attract women in crisis pregnancy on the Internet. She'd like to adopt again.
In the meantime, she is trolling adoption blogs and sites looking for posts by those who believe adoption should be a last resort and for those who post stating young mothers should be offered the resources to parent. If you such a person or if you are a young woman in crisis pregnancy who is thinking of parenting, you are fair game for this evil person.
I am happy to provide you with this woman's name, IP and email addresses so you can block her. PM me if you are interested.

I am sorry you have had to endure such a person. I hope that even if no one here asks for this information so they can block this person, that you will pass this information on to the moderators here so that this person can be blocked. I think this site, and others like it, should be a place where we can speak openly, freely, and respectively regarding all adoption issues.

Thanx, bmomto2_momto2. I did pass the information along to at least one moderator.

I echo bmomto2--I am so sorry you had that experience. The people I have corresponded with are so open and giving--we don't always agree, but the discussions and exchange of opinions are healing, not negative. I am so glad to read you reported this to the moderators.
