This blog is for the mothers and adoptees of the Suemma Coleman Home for Unwed Mothers. This maternity home is now known as St. Elizabeth Coleman. This is about our experiences, our searches, our fight against the system of adoptee access and our beliefs. This blog does not reflect the opinions of anyone from this agency.

Doofus Award goes to the NCFA
The National Council for Adoption finally after a year and half gives its rebuttal to the Evan B. Donaldson Adoption Institute. They say the statistics in the EBD study are flawed because it doesn't prove either way that adoptee access doesn't cause any problems. Well I would like to know where they get their statistics from. I have not come across stories of stalking adoptees from Oregon, New Hampshire, Alabama, Kansas, and Alaska. Now the states with sealed records yes. I do. I think it is a reflection on those states. The states with sealed records encourage enabling of both the adoption industry and the shame of the adoptee and their families. Why do these states feel the need to regulate the relationships of its adoptive communitities but not the non adopted? What makes us extra special unless of course adoption is the presumptive that causes harm? If that is the case, why is this country in the practice of adoption?

Thank you for commenting on this recent NCFA publication.
More people within adoption reform need to voice their objections -- list them --- whatever they are. What you see and feel might be different from what I see and feel. The main point is that we cannot let lies and deception and money be the focus of adoption.
Keep speaking out!
