I was adopted. I know no other life. I appreciate each and everyone's story. Adopted or not, we all have a story. I am blessed to have my story. I do wish good health, love, and peace to all those that were and are a part of my life.

@mejacgil2010 I misunderstood your post

[TheWuerch]

@TheWuerch Oh and there is no such thing as a "right" opinion, only logical ones and illogical ones and when we get down to semantics it is inarguably correct what I have said. You can cry all you want, blame society all you want, it was your decision, a true mother sticks it out and does whatever possible, like my mother in America has, that's the greatest sacrifice to take something that may not have been yours and to love it. Love and nurture comprises relationships, not 9 months and nature.

@mejacgil2010 As a Korean adoptee, a mother is the one who raises you. That is not an artificial relationship, and you have no entitlement to speak on that behalf. It does not take a BIRTHING process to make someone a mother. I never said a birth-mother does not look out for the well being of the child, but it does not make them a mother. The title of a birth mother is appropriate, and by the way it is not theory, it is a personal opinion and it is true of yours as well.

@Admire My purpose is to inform adoptees that they should look into the circumstances of their adoption...all is not how it seems...

My purpose is to inform mothers who relinquished their children to look into the circumstances...get your medical records, what drugs were you given? How often? Were you drugged leading up to the signing of documents? Did you give permission for your baby to be taken from you at birth? Were you told of the long term consequences of adoption or the help available?

@TheWuerch As one of 150,000 mums in Australia who were subjected to inhumane and illegal practices in order to ABDUCT our babies to provide infertility depts with adoptable babes. A mother will always be her child's mother, no matter how society, adopters, or any other human being likes to put it...nature can't be changed by laws, or words designed to eliminate the REAL mother from history...try as you might...your theory is only true in your own head and those gullible enough to believe you

@TheWuerch no way. You don't know why a person gives up for adoption, often to give a better life for their child. Third world countries are a far cry from the one you know. I would NEVER do so, but then again, I wasn't a pregnant teen in a society that would condemn you and leave you to starve for out of wedlock pregnancy. You can't judge.

@mejacgil2010 We are free to use what ever title we feel best fits the subject to be addressed. The mother is the one who has raised you as a mother does. A birth mother is simply a functioning being that held you in an ovary for 9 months and allowed you the opportunity for you to live a better life. But they are in no way a mother, simply because they birthed you. Bitch.

@mejacgil2010 @mejacgil2010 And your purpose here is what?

Lovely. I just want to add, my children are all adopted, and they get to determine how they want to use adoption language. Not all adopted children have a desire to be reunited with their biological families. I have a daughter adopted from China and Korea, neither at this point and time in their lives are interested in finding their biological families, and they do not feel a gap is missing in their lives. However, this could all change. We will support them in finding their bio family.
