I thought, next is Canada, then United States. WRONG!!!<br />Sadly, adoption and all its "goodness" is ignored because moms and adoptees are just the problems that stand in the way. We are a small group even though we aren't really who have been affected. <br />WE live in a society where there is much to be worried about economy , jobs, just living pay check to paycheck. Fighting to survive. <br />APATHY is going to kill us all whether we are in against or in favor of adoptions. God help us!!<br /><br />GaleMotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04701407465248392373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34822082.post-38090930079037084762012-06-02T06:04:33.201-07:002012-06-02T06:04:33.201-07:00Sandy, i just published a new blog entry about bla...Sandy, i just published a new blog entry about blackhawk that i think you might find interesting. i had no real concept of the quad cities and blackhawk until i started thru the materials that went into this entry. i can't remember if i saw or responded to your earlier comment before but i'm glad to now. if i did i probably mentioned my support over the years to birth moms under the indian child welfare act. in any case i will note tht your production rate and mine on the blog show some parallels - obviously we save outselves for good ones. here's my email address so that you can get back to me: bwbenefield@yahoo.combarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109077667455785329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34822082.post-22600813533503021722012-05-11T12:24:03.564-07:002012-05-11T12:24:03.564-07:00I'm outraged and I have been calling Dept of J...I'm outraged and I have been calling Dept of Justice, FBI, Congress and media and filmmakers.

That was about unselfish service to others.<br /><br />Some years ago,I attended a presentation in Boulder, CO given by historian Rickie Solinger. She was discussing her just-released book(at that time)"Beggars and Choosers:How the Politics of Choice Shapes Adoption, Abortion, and Welfare in the United States." One of the women from the audience came up to Rickie and said,"I see your point but I just don't want to pay for these(single) mothers."<br /><br />That is just one example...but I have heard that attitude a lot. People would rather see children taken from poor mothers/families and given to families that have more money, than give one dime of their money or time to assist a family in need.<br /><br />There seems to be a "value" that poor means worthless.We have become a very shallow-minded country...maybe we always were..don't know...<br /><br />Anyway...bravo to Australia!!kittanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34822082.post-56463106488591942222012-03-05T10:40:14.940-08:002012-03-05T10:40:14.940-08:00"Or, are we really so far gone that Rush Limb..."Or, are we really so far gone that Rush Limbaugh and his ilk really are returning us to those hideous days when women were lined up like cattle to have their babies wrested from them for sale to the highest bidder."<br /><br />In a word, yes. Single mothers are considered a scourge on American society by conservatives. They see adoption as a nice punishment for unsanctioned sexual activity in addition to being a way to keep those Caddy-driving welfare queens off the dole. <br /><br />They are all for dismembering families in the name of family values.maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067284504038707207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34822082.post-78256096632311838662012-03-04T22:25:51.923-08:002012-03-04T22:25:51.923-08:00You might like this poem about mothers http://caro...You might like this poem about mothers http://caroleschatter.blogspot.co.nz/2011/12/random-quotation-spot.htmlCarolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16985978221627051493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34822082.post-54192976381892686932012-03-04T16:55:05.706-08:002012-03-04T16:55:05.706-08:00WOW....just WOW!!
