I read something last night on a blog that really made me mad. I set this blog up so that it would be easier to keep in touch with all my adoption friends. and i have read some great blogs about adoption, but last night i came across a blog that was not that nice in my opinion (and we all know about those) now every one has a right to feel how they will about adoption and i knew and was not surprised that there is someone out there that is against it. Just the thing they said. They refereed to the bible, and not being a religious person myself i thought what? this is part of there post
"When the bible speaks of caring for widows ans orphans - it was written in a time when the word "widow" meant any woman without a spouse. That applies to single mothers. Do you think Jesus would advocate taking children from their mothers thousands of miles from their culture to fill the demands of adults who financially support unscrupulous baby brokers?"
I really did not want to put this on there but i thought i was important that you see for your self. Now again i am not religious but i think that Jesus would want happiness for all children. And i am not here to speak for anyone, especially Jesus.
I am not naive enough to think that there are not bad people out there giving adoption a bad name and those are the people who are "baby brokers" but i think the majority of people are doing everything legally and with the best intentions of the child.
Giving a child up for adoption has got to be the hardest thing that a woman can do. Most woman do this so that there child can have a better life. I could never imagine the pain and heartache that goes with this. I do promise to my daughter birth mother that her dreams for her child will not be in vein.
And that all i want to say about that.
Just some thoughts and rambleings of some one you do not know or you think you know or you might know very well

K, R... that peeves me off as well. They give the definition of "widows" and then immediately assume that they meant "take their children away" when the writers said to "care for the widows"? What the....???
An orphan, to my knowledge, has ALWAYS meant "someone without parents". So care for the widows (single mothers included) and care for the orphans. Pretty straight forward.
It doesn't say "care for the widow's children by making them orphans". Seriously, what is wrong with people??
Yeah this perdon is a joke they have a whole web site dedicated to what seems like anti adoption or at least international and that just seem like a contrdiction its ok to adopt from the states but not internationaly. Well i know it take all kind, the good ,the bad the ugly to make the world go round right???????????
Unfortunately this will probably not be the first time you (we) come across people like this, they are everywhere. They are not the majority but it only takes one here and there to cause trouble and act like complete idiots! Give me the blog - did you leave your 2 cents? I'd like to leave mine!
