Although Trace's experience is not mine, I agree with much of what she wrote. If you look around, you will see that many other adoptees have a similar opinion. If you've only been listening to adoptive parents, perhaps that's where the problem is. Adopted people are the ones who live the adopted experience. Seek the experts.<br /><br />And you might also want to think about the laws that strictly discriminate against adopted people and their identities.<br /><br />And about Veronica, can you honestly say that justice is serving her best interests? She's being treated like she's the property of two unrelated people in another state and they want her back!<br /><br />How does her adoption benefit HER? It doesn't. <br />Can she do anything about it? No. <br />Will she have to live with it? Yes.kymnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-12420110099992639822013-08-14T21:25:13.409-04:002013-08-14T21:25:13.409-04:00Thank you Von.

All adoptions begin with loss and trauma.A few minutes of research will show you that adoption is big business, an international business with agreements brokered between governments,babies are big business, sometimes one of the few valuable exports a country has. The supposed 'orphan crisis' shows us that many believe adoption is about saving children,just because you haven't heard about it doesn't mean it's not happening.<br />For someone who is interested in identity in adoptees it seems that you have much to discover in how adoption affects identity. You might need to start with the concept of ownership in adoption by adopters, a whole blogpost in itself, a book even! Pop over to http://eagoodlife.wordpress I might just tackle the subject sometime soon.

Each child was raised in a Mormon household and lost their language, their naming, ceremonies, which is their culture. That is harsh. I speak for them (and me) on this blog.<br />I am written so much about this billion dollar adoption industry - please read other posts. Take a look at last November - every country (China, Guatemala and more) has an adoption scandal. News you didn't see in the newspapers here.<br />The Capobianco's who wish to adopt Veronica are using the word SAVE. Why is that?<br />I want you to research ARENA. Then email me back what is harsh.<br />I have many friends who adopted. They have open adoptions. Their children know the truth. They know their names. They see their birth family.<br />I do not lump all adoptees but I do see an international crisis with adoption profiteers.<br />That is why this post is harsh.LThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395257432521760435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-16242937705939292122013-08-13T21:38:37.696-04:002013-08-13T21:38:37.696-04:00Such a harsh post.

I respect that it is your opinion and your life experience but to group "adoptions" in general as a business and full of adoptive infertile parents buying babies is irresponsible to say. I have never heard any adoptive parent (and I know many) ever imply that they "have saved their son or daughter". <br /><br />"For many adoptive parents, they still do not get it: you do not OWN us, nor will you ever own us, make us your own or become our ‘real’ parents." <br /><br /> What does this statement mean?? I respect that to you it means something but please do not speak for all adoptees just as I would not lump you in a group of all adoptees. <br />Colleen Ballerininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-61158327573169622042013-08-12T15:36:20.936-04:002013-08-12T15:36:20.936-04:00I agree Anonymous, no child should ever be abused ...I agree Anonymous, no child should ever be abused for any reason. I am truly sorry you lost your daughter. Go to your state's adoption registry online and post the information - she might be looking for you! Use her birthdate and see if they can find her.LThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08395257432521760435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6969975344623261.post-33707626782243419532013-08-12T15:33:10.699-04:002013-08-12T15:33:10.699-04:00Thank you Jessica.
