I dug this out for the "CONFIDENTIAL" to be stamped across my face as a member of SMAAC and a natural mother in support of adoptees who are fighting for their Original Birth Certificates. When I saw it, I realized how young, expectant, full of hope and dreams I was, and how sad. lonely and full of despair I would be just a few months later.
Once upon a time I was Sandy....now I am Sandy Confidential.....I wish I could be Sandy again.

Sandy, no matter what, you are going to be you. Don't let this eat you up, you have far to much to offer the world to allow it to be taken without at least a thank you.
You 100% pure Sandy and I am blessed to be your friend.
Thanks, Guys. I am just feeling a little "the world is to much with me tonight"...ish this evening.
I saw that picture, the young me, and the optimistic, assured, positive young woman on the brink of disaster and it panged, but when I saw the red stain across my face, like the sting of a slap, it ached! I was surprised at my reaction.
Thanks for giving a damn. I appreciate it.
Both thanks and apologies that you get the intent of the stamps. They are so much more than just an internet meme, they're a statement of someone living injustice
I wish you nothing but the best and I hope one day America will and the rest of the world would quit forced adoptions as they are still done today. The more women get out of the fog and speak up the more we can prevent it from happening to future generations.
thanks, Allison. I wish that as well. Speaking up and out is vital, but I think that mothers insisting on the right to their rights is also vital.
