do you know what really upsets me the most out of all of this ?&lt;br /&gt;Apart from the obvious, that as a Mother I just can not imagine how excruciatingly painful this is for Beth, that I just cant imagine never knowing what happened to your child.&lt;br /&gt;I cant imagine losing a child to death, but I cant imagine how much more painful it must be not knowing if that child is dead or alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me what really upsets me the most, that really defies all I know about being a good person, is that there are some people, right now, somewhere in this world , living their life,&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; KNOWING&lt;/span&gt; That they were involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do they carry on day after day ?&lt;br /&gt;How do they eat their breakfast , lunch and dinner every day ?&lt;br /&gt;How do they party with their friends, enjoy a movie , a swim , a holiday ?&lt;br /&gt;How do they lay their head down on their pillow at night and sleep ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are people out there right now, who were involved in Natalee's disappearance, and whether that be her death or her kidnapping into some illegal human trafficking arena...these people &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WERE&lt;/span&gt; involved and they &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;KNOW&lt;/span&gt; What happened to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can they not come forward ? and be a decent person ? a decent human being ?&lt;br /&gt;Have people become so desensitized that they think that its just "fine" to carry on with their daily life with &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt; family and friends ? while Natalee's family and friends live in despair and pain every single day since she disappeared ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where did those people's values and morals go ? that they were taught ? and apart from the genuinely psychotic , mentally disturbed people in this world I do believe most people are decent , good human beings that often get themselves into situations that they feel they can not get out of, situations that are clouded by alcohol, drugs , peer pressure, a moment of insanity....&lt;br /&gt;I do believe that most people in this world given the same circumstances but without that "trigger" would not do what they do..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to believe in that, because otherwise I would just want to curl under a bed with my family and never leave...I have to believe that because otherwise it would destroy me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if somehow, someway those people involved in Natalee Holloways Disappearance in Aruba on Sunday The 29th of May in 2005 chance upon this blog, or even people who "know" the people involved in Natalee's disappearance chance upon this blog, I put it to you like this : Imagine if it were your Sister or Brother that this happened to ? Or even if you don't have a sister or brother , imagine it happening to your Mother or Father ? Girlfriend/Boyfriend, Wife/Husband, Niece/Nephew..anyone that you love....how would you feel ? the daily loss of that person, never knowing what happened to them...Truly ask yourself how you would feel..how much pain you would be in every single day..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself these questions truthfully :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Am I a decent person ? "&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Do I want to go through life with this on my conscience"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" Do  I want to die knowing that I caused torment and heartache to a great deal of people"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Life isn't meant to be about hurting other people.&lt;br /&gt;Anyone that has any knowledge of any kind that was to come forward would be able to stop that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would really like to believe that anyone who has any knowledge of any kind would be able to see past their own fears of what may happen to them, be it whether they were directly involved, had knowledge of , or even knowledge of the people involved.&lt;br /&gt;Next May in 2010 it will have been 5 years since Natalee Holloway disappeared, Natalee was just 18 years old when she disappeared with her whole life ahead of her, Work, Marriage, Children, friends, family, good times all to be had...She would be 23 now......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accidents happen, Mistakes happen, tragedies happen, but it really is a crime to know something about the disappearance of a beautiful young lady and not speak up, but rather say nothing and allow her family to live in torment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you know anything about the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, In Aruba May 2005, Please get your inner "decency" courage and present yourself at your nearest police station and tell them what you know.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/movies/natalee-holloway/natalee-holloway-photos-of-the-true-story#"&gt;This&lt;/a&gt; is a link to Real Photos of the Natalee Holloway Case, some of these people here hold the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;TRUTH&lt;/span&gt; to what happened to Natalie. I can see it in their eyes. When we are young or even middle aged, we think we are indestructible and can just blast through life, but when we are struck down by severe illness or old age there are things in our life that has gone before us that will surface to our memories...Many people make confessions at this stage because they want to be free of what they have hidden...but why wait until then , now is the time to act, so that you can live the remainder of your life in peace, knowing that you did the right thing...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-6685178861907900270?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/wfH3QtPkC5M" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/wfH3QtPkC5M/natalee-holloway.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/10/natalee-holloway.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-5144238850395080924</guid><pubDate>Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:35:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-24T10:03:59.737+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">anita tedaldi</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption disruption</category><title>Adoption Disruption and People on the Self Publicity Trail</title><description>I completely blame Anita Tedaldi.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read about her &lt;a href="http://parenting.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/26/terminating-an-adoption/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/01/anita-tedaldi-woman-retur_n_307005.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and, well just google her name and you will find a lot more because she is very vocal&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little adopted boy who is named only as "angryboy" by his adoptive mother is up for grabs on the internet : you can read the horror story &lt;a href="http://www.growninmyheart.com/dissolving-an-adoption-a-call-for-help"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; and also my comments which I will also post here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wrote the following comment there:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="comment-author vcard"&gt;     &lt;cite class="fn"&gt;&lt;a href="http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="comment-author vcard"&gt;&lt;cite class="fn"&gt;&lt;a href="http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url"&gt;Jane&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/cite&gt; &lt;span class="says"&gt;says:&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;    &lt;div class="comment-meta commentmetadata"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.growninmyheart.com/dissolving-an-adoption-a-call-for-help#comment-5765"&gt;October 23, 2009 at 1:01 am&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;    &lt;p&gt;After reading the response to Mirah and other posters from the Adoptive mother – I put it to the readers that the 8 year old adopted boy learnt “anger” from his adoptive mother.&lt;br /&gt;Your tone and attitude to Mirah and other posters was immediate anger.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The anger that is coming from you shows through louder than you obviously can see.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;You are the one coming across as angry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;If you do not want the criticism then I will give you the same advice I gave to Anita Tedaldi after her piece on the “Termination of her adopted child” – DON’T WRITE ABOUT IT&lt;br /&gt;Pretty simple really isn’t it.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These are the type of children who go on to be mass murderers, serial rapists , always in trouble with the law and so on because people like YOU and Anita, take a child (thinking you are so wonderful and that *GOD* instructed you to ADOPT) that you fail to realize your own limitations , thus ending in serious problems all round and creating in SOME Cases a complete Monster, because you failed to push through the issues, and thus once again abandoning the child&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Let me put it to ALL of the readers out there a different way…one that you can all relate to (probably)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Think back to when you were in a relationship, someone you loved with all your heart , maybe this was the one even and that person ended that relationship……&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;How did you feel ???&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Rejected ? Abandoned ? Low Self Esteem ?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In the majority of cases this is how people who are the dumped one in the relationship feel, some go on binges , drinking , excessive eating/not eating , partying hard, being a recluse – any number of these things can and do happen , because they feel rejected, hurt, unloved , unwanted…&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Why then is it SO HARD For people to wrap their head around how an adopted child feels?&lt;br /&gt;And when that adopted child is dumped TWICE how much more damaging that is to them..&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People who disrupt adoptions do not deserve the privilege to adopt a child.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I also took my comment over to &lt;a href="http://stopchildtorture.org/2009/10/22/adoptive-parent-and-ronald-federici-supporter-trying-to-give-away-8-year-old-child-online/comment-page-1/#comment-1183"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; which is where I first found about this little boy named "angryboy" by his adoptive mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly my comment seemed to get lost, and the focus was turned to me saying that this is how some monsters (ie rapists /murderers) are created.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no denying it, adoption has created many monsters, and I have added a further comment which I hope will be posted :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope that my point is clarified, as I did say in SOME Cases a complete monster is created , and no matter which way you look at it, adopted or non adopted , people who rape and kill are monsters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;These people ARE Monsters and they are adopted&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/9950/adoption_serialkillers.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/9950/adoption_serialkillers.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amfor.net/killers/" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.amfor.net/killers/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;People like Anita Tedaldi and this other person who is putting her “angryboy” (UGH) up for adoption on the internet are the type of people who help create the above type monsters.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Its bad enough being given up for adoption once, but twice ? :( &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I can only hope that these two little boys abandoned TWICE don’t turn out to be like the above monsters&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point I really wanted the focus on was how I compared a breakup of a relationship to the feelings that adoptees suffer through continuously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted non adopted people who don't understand adoptees to have something to relate to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that came through.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-5144238850395080924?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/FfDf_IdQDno" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/FfDf_IdQDno/adoption-disruption-and-people-on-self.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/10/adoption-disruption-and-people-on-self.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-4469100181404433115</guid><pubDate>Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:25:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-07T21:32:34.247+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Stephanie and Christian Nielson</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Oprah</category><title>Stephanie Nielson and Oprah - 7th October 2009</title><description>YUP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stephanie is going to be on Oprah (I imagine Christian is too)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you live in the USA Then turn on Oprah today - According to &lt;a href="http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705334963/Wednesday-on-TV.html"&gt;THIS&lt;/a&gt;

I know a woman who's just her third baby at the age of 47, Good luck to her. This sanctimonious idiot is right to talk about her "soapbox". I've seen hundreds of incompetent parents who stay at home with their children all day, and many many juvenile delinquents from dysfunctional homes with a stay-at-home mother. Equally I've seen many well-adjusted and loving families who use day care. Emotive biased language such as "dumped" are just there for sensationalism - Being a good parent has everything to do with parenting skills and loving - for all I know this OP could be one of the moronic stay-at-home mothers who has no idea of what she's doing - it's amazing how these people can butter up their own skills and show such judgement and outrage at others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh....and "Jane" is also anonymous, unless, Jane, you'd care to post your REAL name and address in full. Then and only then can you be held up to scrutiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What hypocrisy and stupidity.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Hmm well Jane is My REAL Name thank you kindly, and if you had read the rest of my blog you would have noticed that!&lt;br /&gt;Next who in their right mind publishes their address on the ineternet for all the whackjobs to get a hold of - if you do then you are a fruit cake and should definitely not have children !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And um yes I can see that Dimitry's adoptive parents were doing an excellent job, so good in fact that he is DEAD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say I feel flattered that this person opened a blogger account just to comment on my blog.&lt;br /&gt;Glad to see that I'm making a impact&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh and Motherof5 (if thats your real self!) I'll be watching out for comments from Melbourne, Australia, using a Mac with Safari - for future comments ...and they wont be published - or perhaps I will do a seperate post just for you !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-7118339061632678283?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/Wd0mfMDMGRU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/Wd0mfMDMGRU/apparently-this-is-stupid-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/08/apparently-this-is-stupid-blog.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-2257546163351893657</guid><pubDate>Sat, 15 Aug 2009 04:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-15T12:28:04.930+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adoptee</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adoptee rights</category><title>Adoptee Rights and Various Parties</title><description>I'm in Australia, I'm not really affiliated, associated, buddies or otherwise with any of the varying factions that are fighting out there for adoptee rights &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; amongst themselves. Whilst I know many, and choose to associate with some doesn't mean I am in league with them.&lt;br /&gt;But what I do see, is movies, tv series, films etc made that potray adoptees as psychos, offbalance, not mentally stable and so forth..&lt;br /&gt;What I have observed over the past year between &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;some&lt;/span&gt; of these various factions is beyond my comprehension of how they do understand that is just supporting the view that is out there about adoptees.&lt;br /&gt;I have recently read some blogs, since the Philly Adoptees rights demonstration and the nasty language used from varying people about other people is unbelievable. To actually write such nasty words and to belittle others in a demeaning way, &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;OTHER&lt;/span&gt; adoptees,  on a public blog for all the people who &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;might&lt;/span&gt; be watching and reading various blogs is truly amazing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No matter what people are about, whether they clash with someone Else's personality, whether they downright despite another person, if there is a common goal, IE getting open records for adoptees in America, then surely the battles can be put down and everyone strive for the common good.&lt;br /&gt;Throwing around vile insults, and gutter language at people , trying to humiliate others , taking others to task, being mean, embellishing the truth, exaggerating what another is doing, and basically just being hurtful, isn't going to make anyone in any position of power , be it legislators, media etc take anyone seriously.&lt;br /&gt;All it's going to do is cement in their mind that &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;ALL&lt;/span&gt; Adoptees are stark raving mad....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel dismayed that instead of putting a positive spin on whatever was achieved in Philly this year, there are those that take the opportunity to disparage. Whilst I agree that the event needs to be reported from varying sides, perhaps care could be taken to be factual rather than putting personal opinions into it.&lt;br /&gt;I feel even more dismayed to see people then vilely attacking and abusing those that have chosen to present a different side to what they observed happening for all those that did not attend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wish that everyone would put aside their insecurities, grow the hell up and join together for the common good of getting adoptees their rights the same as every other person in America and NOT have situations like what happened to &lt;a href="http://73adoptee.blogspot.com/2008/10/adoptee-denied-drivers-license-in.html"&gt;this poor lady&lt;/a&gt; who wanted to obtain a drivers Licence and was treated like a piece of muck on someones shoe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you think that's possible ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-2257546163351893657?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/DRngTb_irzs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/DRngTb_irzs/adoptee-rights-and-various-parties.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/08/adoptee-rights-and-various-parties.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-1434766547713211357</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Aug 2009 11:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-12T19:40:10.815+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">co ercion</category><title>The Coerced removal Of Elijah</title><description>If you have been following my blog you know I have been writing about Forced Adoptions, coercion in adoption, BULLYING in adoption...why is it that we have all kinds of laws about bullying in our &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;school&lt;/span&gt; systems and protection in place for those bullied (if its a good school!) but yet we are allowing women to be bullied into giving up their child ?&lt;br /&gt;Does that make sense to you ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a story, another heartbreaking story of a child taken from his mother and lost into a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;system&lt;/span&gt; called adoption. This is where I get angry at adoption. This is where I do scream at those adoptive parents and agency workers and so on that dare to make out that there is NOTHING Wrong with adoption that it is all flowers and hearts...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm going to direct you to another Blog that has the full story and the understanding of this story &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;from&lt;/span&gt; an American Law &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;POV&lt;/span&gt; and also a native Indian which Mary and Elijah are...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you would kindly go to this fantastic blog post about Mary and her son &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Elijah&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;a href="http://stevenmnielson.blogspot.com/2008/12/indian-child-welfare-act-florida-and.html"&gt;Please Click Here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary had intent to file for rescinding of the adoption within the 3 day limit (how anyone thinks that 3 days is fair to ANYONE is beyond me !) after being coerced into adoption in the first place.&lt;br /&gt;But due to more tactics Mary missed the deadline to file - Sound Familiar to my last story about coercion ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary sent me a email asking me to please tell her story..how could I not, how could anyone not tell Mary and Elijah's story :( It needs to be told, people in media NEED TO TAKE NOTICE of whats going on.. they are the ones with the power, how about a bit of pressure being sent back to all these courts making these horrendous decisions. Mary &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;wasn't&lt;/span&gt; deemed a unfit mother, NO , just some technicality upheld the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Agency's&lt;/span&gt; right to terminate  Mary's parental rights and remove Elijah from the only mother he knew and his elder sister.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WHY IS THIS HAPPENING ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When there are SO MANY babies and children out there of abuse and who are &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;orphans&lt;/span&gt;, why are adoptive parents TAKING children that are still wanted by their Biological parents ???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps they do not know ? I don't know , but if they do not know , then they need to LOBBY and FIGHT for ETHICAL Adoptions and not child stealing via Coercion&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My heart breaks for Mary and for Elijah :( and I hope someone somewhere learns of this case and does something RIGHT About it - for a change&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God Bless Mary and Elijah, may you be reunited soon...........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-1434766547713211357?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/EwG70SdGTkg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/EwG70SdGTkg/coerced-removal-of-elijah.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/08/coerced-removal-of-elijah.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-1667936513742853091</guid><pubDate>Sat, 08 Aug 2009 23:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-09T08:36:39.059+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption</category><title>Adoption is Like a Pet Fair</title><description>YEY !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have just received &lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2009/08/08/2009-08-08_sex_and_the_city_star_willie_garson_adopts_a_son.html"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; into my inbox from my google alerts on adoption and I am beyond the pale on this one...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sex and the City Star Willie Garson Adopts a son.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a 8 year old boy and my first thoughts were perhaps this is *ok* perhaps this child was a victim of abuse and being removed from that hell would be better..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUT No, no such luck, this child was at an adoption fair, unable to be cared for by his biological mother anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Garson says he will certainly allow Nathan's biological mother to visit him, saying, "For many reasons, she couldn't care for him, but I will never let her not see him." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 45-year-old actor originally wanted to adopt a 3-year-old before meeting Nathan at an adoption fair.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of the adoption process, Garson says, "It's like a pet fair -- as horrifying as you can imagine. It was really hard. The 16-year-old fat ugly kid, who has probably been to thirty of these, knows he's not going to get adopted. Like everything else, cute wins. I couldn't believe my kid was actually available for adoption. He's so cute and sweet." &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="TixyyLink" style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it with Celebs and Adoption ? Are they just lonely or what ? And this 8 year old boy does he now get a name change ? So for 8 years hes's been known as one name and then gets given another ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found the comments in this article to be disparaging, and as much as I agree that for older children it probably is like a pet fair, I think that a actor endorsing that *cute wins* publicly is a real slam in the gut for all those un adopted children left wallowing in orphanages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously views on adoption need to change and Quick............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-1667936513742853091?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/jt7nN5DR1UY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/jt7nN5DR1UY/adoption-is-like-pet-fair.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/08/adoption-is-like-pet-fair.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-4448722156815300120</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-08T12:02:42.884+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">co ercion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoptive parents</category><title>Coercion</title><description>Definition as per &lt;a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/coercion"&gt;Dictionary Reference.Com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2 class="me"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;h2 class="me"&gt;co⋅er⋅&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;cion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;noun&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. the act of coercing;

it. Not something to be proud of doing, not something that YOU would want to happen to you over something dear to your heart, important to you etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Certainly not a predicament you would want to be in if you were young and pregnant, or even older and pregnant but with money troubles, or emotional issues, now would it ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But yet its continually happening. Still today ! I mean we all know it happened during the *old*days , what was known as the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;BSE&lt;/span&gt; ( Baby Scoop Era) - it was rife during this time with many parents of their daughters &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;actually&lt;/span&gt; helping with the coercion of giving up their daughters child, their grandchild, because the *shame* of it was far worse than actually trying to help their daughter to keep her child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I gave you all a story here &lt;a href="http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/to-all-my-readers-urgent-please-read.html"&gt;PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK&lt;/a&gt; about a 25 year old who was tricked and coerced into the surrender of her child, and despite being within the time limit of changing her mind she was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;deceived&lt;/span&gt; into not signing those papers, and now has the fight of her life on her hands to get back her child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And remember these babies, are a (yep you guessed it) A Gift From God - but not for the coerced Mother - oh NO - the baby was always intended as a gift for someone else, they just lost their way (*rolls eyes*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg68/adoptedjane/169.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 482px; height: 286px;" src="http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg68/adoptedjane/169.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How do people live with themselves ? How do people KNOW that a woman wants to keep her child, but yet they continue to coerce, force,manipulate, deceive, lie to get that child away from her. How do they live with themselves knowing that she &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;didn't&lt;/span&gt; willingly surrender her child ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know how they do it ? how they live with themselves ? Because they do not put the importance on family, on heritage, that they should. They only think of themselves and they see that the end justifies the means, BUT The end does NOT justify the means, The end is not justified at all. especially when a woman wants to keep her child, there should be no arguing about it , no discussion about it, if a mother wants to keep her child , that is the END - Period....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd really like to know how agencies, churches , adoptive parents can even dispute that ? do they think that they know the woman, the mother better than she knows her own feelings ? Do they suddenly get gifted with the ability to see in a crystal ball ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NO they do not. They only have their own agendas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To anyone out there who has to coerce another human being into doing something against their wishes, their will, I ask you this do you think that is the right way to treat another human being ? to adopting parents , I ask this of you - do you think that when your adopted child that was coerced away from his/her mother finds out that you had a part of that , that they will thank you for that ? when they know the full story that their mother wanted them and loved them, ad had it not been for your part in coercion that they would have remained with their mother....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;(And make no mistake the truth always comes out , they will find out)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am working on another horrific story of coercion and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;deceit&lt;/span&gt; to remove a little boy from his mother when he was 18months old...

The series showcases the matching process between couples who, having struggled with infertility, turn to adoption and the brave, expecting mothers whose difficult and selfless decision to place their children for adoption makes it all possible.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are then presented with an array of segments including&lt;br /&gt;FAQ : What is Open Adoption,&lt;br /&gt;Ask The Experts ,&lt;br /&gt;Feature Article: All the Love in the World , (read memoirs of an an open adoption family) &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;My personal favourite - well if I want to weep to the point of not only my heart hurting but my head&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talk about it,&lt;br /&gt;Coming soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I first came across these photo galleries&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wetv.com/photo-galleries/adoption-diaries-episode-2/glenn-and-jolie-with-baby-emma.html"&gt;Adoption Diaries Episode 2&lt;/a&gt; - This one broke my heart piece by piece as I looked at these photos, whilst &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; sure that the adoptive parents are very nice people, the baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; belong with them, the baby belongs with her Mother and her older brother.. Picture 4 and 5 were &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;particularly&lt;/span&gt; harrowing to me, as I looked at this woman, this baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;girls&lt;/span&gt; mother who just gave birth to her , holding her and smiling this massive smile for the cameras , knowing that she was going to be just giving this baby away in the upcoming days if not hours. Tearing her away from not only her one connection HER MOTHER that had just carried her for 9months, soothing her with her voice and everything about her , but also her older brother. There is a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;grandmother&lt;/span&gt; on the scene, in the photo shoot number 5 where the mother Grandmother and the baby's older brother are all around her ... Such a beautiful scene, a family together just after a baby's birth...but clicking on to pictures 1 and 3 shatter that &lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;delusion&lt;/span&gt; yes I said delusion...because  this little baby girls is about to be ripped from her heritage, her destiny (after all she was planted into this woman , sitting in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;hospital&lt;/span&gt; bed , who just gave birth to her , womb...and not that other fake mummy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can ANYONE want to give birth and then just hand that beautiful little girl over to total strangers.When I say that I realise that the mother who gave birth, may have had many conversations and feel she knows them, but they ARE Complete strangers to the baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This photo gallery /of this episode was probably particularly hard for me, as I was also removed from my older sister...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then this one&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wetv.com/photo-galleries/adoption-diaries-episode-3/big-brother-alex.html"&gt;Adoption Diaries Episode 3&lt;/a&gt; Well &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; still trying to figure this one out because the photo number 3 and 4 are very confusing. Certainly the woman they refer to as the birth mother in photo 3 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; look anything like the woman they refer to as birth mother in photo 4.&lt;br /&gt;Photo 5 has the heartbreaking caption :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"and was overjoyed with the gift she gave her family"&lt;/blockquote&gt;This baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt; a gift. This baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;isn't&lt;/span&gt; something that you should give away. The definition of GIFT as per Dictionary.com is as follows&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;1.  something given voluntarily without payment in return, as to show favor toward someone, honor an occasion, or make a gesture of assistance; present.&lt;br /&gt;2.  the act of giving.&lt;br /&gt;3.  something bestowed or acquired without any particular effort by the recipient or without its being earned: Those extra points he got in the game were a total gift.&lt;br /&gt;4.  a special ability or capacity; natural endowment; talent: the gift of saying the right thing at the right time.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; see *babies* fitting in under this definition of GIFT - do you ? NO &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; because human beings are not meant to be traded, sold or GIFTED!!!&lt;br /&gt;Its insulting to hear adoptive parents, social workers, adoption agencies or anyone else referring to a baby as a gift.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only GIFT that should be used in reference to a baby is that they are a Gift of life - from GOD. They are not &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;exchangeable&lt;/span&gt; , refundable , swappable, saleable or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;GIFTABLE&lt;/span&gt; !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then this brings me to the &lt;a href="http://www.wetv.com/files/file_upload/Summer_Feature.pdf"&gt;"Feature Story"&lt;/a&gt; where my heart broke a thousand times for that little baby and the biological dad.&lt;br /&gt;Reading what he wrote, looking at his face as he stood with the Adoptive parents and his son, my heart broke for him, this &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;wasn't&lt;/span&gt; a young man who was filled with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;joy&lt;/span&gt; at giving up his son, no this was a young man who was &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;prbably&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;guilted&lt;/span&gt; into doing so whether by others , or whether by his own thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I hear through out this story and many others is how selfless the first mother is. This mother was not selfless...she spelt it out .. she wanted a college degree , to meet a nice boy, to get married and to have a baby...not meet a nice boy and get pregnant before her dreams !!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So life throws a curve ball SO WHAT - and in fact the dad states that yes it hurts sometimes but it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;wouldn't&lt;/span&gt; be life if it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;didn't&lt;/span&gt;...and you know what the same goes to not having your dreams run in the order you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These young people had parents , the grandparents of this baby, they were not street kids with no where to go. The extended families should have helped this young woman and young man raise their child. They were not 15 year &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26"&gt;olds&lt;/span&gt; , they were 19 year &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27"&gt;olds&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These young people are so glassy eyed about this whole open adoption business, but I wonder how long that will indeed continue as most open adoptions do not continue that way. I hope for the baby's sake it does.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_28"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; sure most of my readers are well aware of my feelings of open adoption. I think its a big con to get the baby away from the mother in the first place. And I think its very confusing to the child as they get older.&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone actually engage their brains before they do these things ? do they actually wonder what emotional impact this might have on a child ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll leave you all to read the feature story, as linked above and to come to your own thoughts and conclusions but for me, I &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_29"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; agree with it being selfless, the most SELFLESS thing to do would have been to keep the baby and raise him with the help of the bio dad (whether they remained together or not is not relevant to that ) and with the help of the extended family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That would have been selfless...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-6921093701742404086?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/vwmwJwWFym4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/vwmwJwWFym4/i-am-so-angry-and-filled-with-pain-that.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-am-so-angry-and-filled-with-pain-that.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-8995057038779797218</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 Jul 2009 01:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-29T13:25:38.407+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">co ercion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">pain birth mother</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">LSS</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">first mother</category><title>To all my readers - URGENT - Please read this and HELP - 25 Year old tricked into adoption of her son</title><description>I have asked the author of this story if I could tell this on my blog , to reach as many people as possible, becuase hopefully through word of mouth, there may be someone who reads this story that can really help this young woman get her beautiful baby son back, where he belongs..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see this young woman was co-erced and TRICKED into giving her baby up, by the one person whe thought she could trust , and by an adoption agency (no suprises with that though!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I URGE You to read this and leave a comment of support and any suggestions that you may have to help this young woman get her son back where he rightfullly  belongs..

I thought that I had met the man of my dreams. He was cute, funny, knew all the right moves, caring, and understanding...or so I thought. He liked to be out on the water as much as I do, probably even more. We like similar movies, television shows, people, and the same kinds of drinks. He had his own things that he liked to do, and so did I. I thought that it was great. We dated for about 6 months before I thought that we were starting to get serious, and then my birth control failed and we had an unexpected surprise. I was pregnant. I thought it was a beautiful gift that should be celebrated and cherished. He on the other hand thought it was the end of the world. But I loved him, and was blind and willing to work everything out. From the beginning, I was excited to be pregnant. He was ashamed. I didn't realize how bad it was then. Eventually, he seemed to calm down, and I was excited even more. I started picking out items for my nursery, and telling my family what I had wanted them to get me, and was helping my mother and aunt plan a baby shower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He didn't pay much attention to that, but he started telling me that certain friends were his, and not mine. I didn't understand, and so I asked them, they told me no, but yet they seemed very uneasy around me so I let them go. He started telling me, that he wanted to have control in the relationship, but if there was anything that I ever wanted he wouldn't tell me no. I was okay with that, I wanted him to be happy, and I still felt like I had control because if I wanted it, I could have it, again or so I thought. Then it came time for my ultrasound. At the appointment, he seemed very detached, I originally sluffed it off as he was nervous about seeing the baby growing inside me. However, before we left the office, he asked my doctor if there was a way to get a paternity test, and if he had any information about local adoption agencies. I panicked and told him if that is what he wanted then I was going to leave him, because I wanted our child, and if he didn't want any part of it, it was fine because I could do it on my own. He then told me no, that's not why I wanted that information. I just wanted to be informed. Besides adoption agencies don't just provide information about adoption but they cover other aspects of parenting as well. He dropped the subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a month later, while driving on our way out to dinner, he told me that he didn't want to live together before we got married, because he thought that, that was a bad idea. I was okay with that, because he told me that we were eventually going to get married. To be honest I was ecstatic about it. It was where I had wanted our relationship to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But shortly after that dinner, he started telling me that my best friend was being too pushy and that I should back off from her. I thought that, that was strange for him to comment on that, when he usually told me that he liked her. But he said that at work, she was acting really crabby, and angry and he didn't want me and the baby to be stressed out from her aggressiveness. I thought that was sweet and went along with it. I figured that he worked with her, and she hadn't been very talkative towards me because of the stress at work so she might need her space. (truth be told, he was telling her a bunch of BS about me) So the severity of the isolation began. Now because of that I was feeling very alone. I lived with my parents because I moved back home to save money for the baby, and I suppose I could have talked with them, but I just felt if I did, than my dad wouldn't like the boyfriend, and then the boyfriend would get mad at me for talking about us to my parents. I felt very lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My best friend started coming around again, she didn't ever really say why all of a sudden she was coming around again. (I later found out that she knew something fishy was going on, but just couldn't get her finger on it...and that if she stuck her nose in "our" business her job would be on the line.) But because of the slight rift the boyfriend had created between us, I didn't feel as though I could be completely honest with her about how I felt and what was going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By my 7th month, my boyfriend had, had me sever ties with almost everyone that I cared about, and could talk to. Including my parents and siblings, even though I lived with them, I felt I couldn't talk to them, that I had no where to go. In addition, in my 7th month I had another ultra sound. At this appointment, the boyfriend was very stand offish, and again he asked about the paternity testing, and adoption options in the area. My doctor called for a social worker to come down and answer his questions. The social worker and him talked for several minutes while all I did was cry. After the appointment he told me again that it was just for informational purposes and that because we weren't married and in an "exclusively monogamous" relationship at the time of my conception he wanted the paternity test just to be sure. I cried, because in my mind set, we had been a serious item since before I was pregnant. About a week or so later, my company let me go. They said it was due to downsizing, but I my doubts, especially when a friend of mine who I was training in to cover my job while I was on maternity leave, she got my position. (I don't blame her for any of this.) At that time I was very depressed and unaware of everything really. I felt like I had no where to go, that the boyfriend was my whole life, and that no one was paying any attention to me. I felt so alone, and scared of what was to come. I was tired of not being able to do anything, because all the things that I enjoyed doing the boyfriend told me not to do them, because I might get hurt. Even though I haven't heard of anyone being hurt while going shopping, or to the zoo, or going to see a movie, that was being careful, and what not, but he said it was for my best interest, so I sat at home more and more. Going out with my best friend here and there just to get what I need. Then one day he called me up an told me that we had an appointment with a woman who was from Lutheran Social Services. (from now on I'm going to refer to that as LSS) and he wanted to go there to talk about our options.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize now that I shouldn't have gone with him, but that isn't the case. I felt like if I went it would make him happy, and realize that it was all going to be okay. Within the time span of a week between the boyfriend and the social worker, they had already mapped out the adoption plan, picked out the adoptive parents, and had me sign a bunch of papers that I still don't know what they all are. (I've requested everything from my case, but she won't send me all of the papers or notes that she has.) After that, all I did was cry. I felt like I had no control in my life, and that all those major decisions that he wanted to be in charge of he was making even though it was suppose to be "my body, my baby, my choice" it was all taken away from me. I was blind-sided. The damn social worker would call a few times a week asking me if I knew I was in labor yet. I felt like a baby factory, and that all she wanted was my child. The one time I met with her alone, I told her that I was uncomfortable with the adoption process, and you know what she told me?? She told me that it was ok, because it was all apart of the grieving process. Can you believe that?? But enough about the LSS demon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the adoptive parents would call me, and tell my how happy that they were that I didn't get an abortion and that I choose to give him life. Abortion was NEVER an option. I told them that. Several times. They would also call and make me feel guilty, by telling me that they couldn't have children, and when the boyfriend told them that they were picked they were excited to be able to have a child in their home. And that just me feel even worse, because I wanted to raise my son. How was I not suppose to feel guilty? It also deepened the sense that I had no one to go to. That everyone was against me. On top of that when I mentioned that I wanted to keep my son to my boyfriend, he would tell me that I was being incredibly selfish, and that my son deserved to be with the adoptive parents. What was I to do? I'll tell you what I did. I went numb, I was depressed, and I didn't talk to anyone. All I did was cry, especially every time the baby kicked or moved. It also made me feel very used and unappreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then my son was born. I was so happy. He was so beautiful. He had a full head of hair, and big. He was almost 9 pounds. I had him in my room the whole time I was at the hospital. He was so precious. I was hoping that the boyfriend would change his mind after he saw our precious little boy. I couldn't have been farther from the truth. The boyfriend started referring to our son as an it. I told him that I wanted to name the baby a certain name. He told me no. That it would make it too personal. I asked him to sign the voluntary acknowledgement of paternity. He said no, because he doesn't know for sure if the baby was his or not. He filled out the birth certificate while I cried. He then called the LSS social worker and told her the name and told her that he wanted the petition as soon as possible. He then left me alone in my room with our son, while he pranced around and did what he wanted. Later on that day he went to the local court house and called me telling me that he could get a TPR court date as soon as the following week. He also told me that he invited the adoptive parents to come and see the baby later on that evening and that he would be there for that. I called my best friend and asked her to come in at the same time. She did, I don't remember much of that evening, I kind of blacked it out. All I do know is that I was very angry. Angry about everything. The following day the LSS demon came to see me, she asked me how I was, I told her fine, as I am custom to answer when asked that question. She then told me no, I wasn't fine, I was grieving, and that it was okay because it was all apart of the grieving process. She handed over the papers to the boyfriend to read. He read them thoroughly and told me to sign, I did, and she notarized it. She then was telling the boyfriend about how I was feeling and going to be feeling. I got mad and yelled at her and told her that I was sick and tired of her telling me how I was feeling, and that she didn't know how I was feeling, and I was so tired of every fucking thing. She left in a hurry. The boyfriend shortly followed as my mom and sister came to visit me. My mother asked me for the first time if I was alright or if I had wanted to go through with this, I was so upset that all I could do was cry. I cried for the rest of the evening. When the boyfriend came to pick me and the baby up, I told him that I wanted to take our son home, and parent because I had everything there, he told me no, that we were going to take him to the "bridge care" family. And that was to be for the best. I cried from the time he said that till I finally passed out from exhaustion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I set up the first Dr. appointment and went to that. The boyfriend kept me from otherwise visiting my son at bridge care, because he wouldn't bring me, and I felt like I didn't have the ability to go there on my own. The court date was set for the following week. (only 2 weeks after I had my son.) On the way to the hearing the boyfriend told me what to say and when to say it. We also met up with the lawyer for LSS. (I refuse to call him an attorney because he is only out for himself and he's a ruthless shark.) I was a zombie for the hearing, I didn't know what was going on, I was numb to the world until the judgment was made. Then I started crying. All I could do was cry. We were suppose to have time alone with our son after the hearing but by the time we got there the adoptive parents were already there packing up my son. I never even got to say good bye.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A couple of weeks went by and I called the adoptive parents up to check on my son. They informed me that the boyfriends family never even knew that they were going to be grandparents. They also told me to forget about the boyfriend and move on with my life. A week after that the boyfriend called me and told me that we were done. That he had never loved me and that he never intended to marry me or be with me. I was completely broken hearted. Because of him, I gave up what was most important to me. A week and a half later I filed a motion to reconsider and an intent to appeal. The motion was denied, and at the hearing the boyfriend lied and also had a friend of mine lie. (don't worry I'm not friends with that friend anymore) but I am now working with my appellate attorney. I am grateful to know that I have a case. But this is only the beginning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"  &gt;This is all true, and this is my story. I just don't want anyone to take off with my story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"  &gt;(c) 2009 Hellajence&lt;/span&gt;                  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This post is copyright to  &lt;span style=";font-family:Tahoma;font-size:85%;"  &gt;(c) 2009 Hellajence &lt;/span&gt;and is Burning Brights Story.....repeated with permission for AdoptedJane to tell on her blog&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-8995057038779797218?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/kmxgAeDbhlI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/kmxgAeDbhlI/to-all-my-readers-urgent-please-read.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/to-all-my-readers-urgent-please-read.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-4626338934719104202</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2009 05:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-19T15:50:02.402+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Twitter</category><title>Whats the Latest - Twitter</title><description>Tweet Tweet Tweetily Tweet..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup Ive added Twitter, down on the right hand side you will find my twitter bird to follow and of course if you're reading this post you can click right here...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/adoptedjane"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.twittericon.com/image/twitter225.gif" title="By: TwitterIcon.com" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://twittericon.com/"&gt;By TwitterIcon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-4626338934719104202?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/TrPkfVVkuZM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/TrPkfVVkuZM/whats-latest-twitter.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/whats-latest-twitter.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-6886404723706780453</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:38:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-16T13:14:36.588+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">embryo</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">infertility</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">abortion</category><title>Adoption of an Embryo</title><description>I was going to write this as a comment on &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Marley's&lt;/span&gt; blog post &lt;a href="http://bastardette.blogspot.com/2009/07/cincinnati-ring-around-karma-begins-in.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; but I ended up writing so much that I thought I had better do it as a blog post here instead...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I Continue to just be continually shocked.&lt;br /&gt;I had a vague &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;knowledge&lt;/span&gt; that embryo donation went on but embryo adoption&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;PUHLEEZZE&lt;/span&gt; - this is purely another money making , get rich quick quirk off others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is from that website about WHY You should use EA - &lt;a href="http://www.embryosalive.com/embryosstorage.htm"&gt;Click Here&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;i&gt;Benefits of Donating through E.A.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;b&gt;* It gives your embryo/s a chance for life.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;   * It relieves you/donor/s of psychological stress of deciding what to do with embryo/s.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;   * It provides fulfillment in helping other infertile parent/s.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;   * There is assurance that the adopting parent/s have been well-screened for their ability to become successful parents.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;   * Donors choose open/agency liaison/closed-anonymous, age range, single or married, geographic location, number of other children in the home, level of education, values, religion, ethnic background, health, employment and other profile parameters with like minded &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;adoptors&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;   * Agency maintains records, contact information, and acts as go between for you and the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;adoptor&lt;/span&gt;/s.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ive &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;bolded&lt;/span&gt; the particular points I have issues with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first is aimed at &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;guilting&lt;/span&gt; the biological parents&lt;br /&gt;The second is also aimed at a double whammy of guilt at the biological parents&lt;br /&gt;and finally&lt;br /&gt;The third is another guilt trip with some added extras of sympathy manipulation on the biological parents..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sound familiar ? yep just like regular old adoption. Guilt tripping and manipulation of the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;biological&lt;/span&gt; parents to satisfy the adopting parents wants and needs and the bank balance of the agency involved...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is anyone actually thinking of the children ? or because they look like bubbles of some sort the association of this *bubble* turning into a walking , talking, living , breathing person with feelings and emotions &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;doesn't&lt;/span&gt; come into it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;BUT WAIT !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't that the war cry about NOT having an abortion - because life begins at embryo stage ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; the case then surely once must see into the future , think of the future and think about how being a embryo that eventually turns into a  walking , talking, living , breathing person with feelings and emotions might actually have a huge impact on that person , like being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;separated&lt;/span&gt; from ones siblings which could be any number of them, like being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;separated&lt;/span&gt; from their biological mother and father who were married at the time, like being implanted into another woman and being born to two completely different people to yourself in every way , physically, emotionally and mentally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who does that ? who purposely does that to another human being ? People like this agency &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;that's&lt;/span&gt; who. Who get rich of YOU whilst all the spouting their crap about it being for the right reason, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;ie&lt;/span&gt; not killing/murdering a embryo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man and Woman are supposed to procreate. Have sexual intercourse where the sperm fertilizes the egg, and somewhere around 40 weeks later the woman delivers the baby into this world.&lt;br /&gt;But NOW Science has overrun this world and we are creating more and more *life* in completely &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;unnatural&lt;/span&gt; ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are struggling with infertility more and more. WHY ? Look to the world , look to the environment, look to the manufacturers, look at all the crap we ingest, we slather over our bodies, we breathe in daily, we create ourselves. These things are where the answers lie in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;regards&lt;/span&gt; to the increase of fertility.&lt;br /&gt;If  we continue to go down this route , all babies from now on will be *manufactured* in a lab instead of created with love in a natural manner...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this really what we want for our future generations ?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-6886404723706780453?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/B_HINU9sGus" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/B_HINU9sGus/adoption-of-embryo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/adoption-of-embryo.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-7649122619097581273</guid><pubDate>Mon, 13 Jul 2009 12:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-14T12:21:36.948+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">deborra lee furness</category><title>Deborra Lee Furness in the News Again pushing for Adoption Made Easy in Australia</title><description>Yes Deborra Lee Furness in the news again, or sorry is that Deborra Lee Furness WIFE OF HUGH JACKMAN - Movie Star !!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pushing the Adoption rates too low in Australia line again !!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GO AWAY - Leave Australia ALONE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Courier Mail has a article &lt;a href="http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25765579-23272,00.html"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt; entitled&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1 style="text-align: center; font-style: italic;"&gt;Australia's doption rates lowest of developed countries&lt;/h1&gt;Someone do me a favor and tell me what "doption" is ? I'd think for a mainstream media source they 'd at least get their title correct !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what if we have the lowest rates of Adoption. Thats a GOOD Thing , not a bad thing.&lt;br /&gt;It means we have very stringent testing procedures that parents have to go through to get that precious *gft* they are after.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comments after the article are such as those about natural parents should have stringent testing before being able to produce a child, whilst I agree there are some horrific natural parents out there I have to say that when you adopt a child you have a far FAR Greater responsibility. A natural parent has an enormous resonsibility to love, treasure and protect ther child, an adoptive parent has even MORE of a responsiblity because the CHOSE to adopt a child, they CHOSE To take another womans child and raise him/her as their own. That is an ENORMOUS respoonsiblity and one that is sometimes taken far too lightly.&lt;br /&gt;Indeed many argue that is untrue, but personally I see zero foudnation to their argument. The facts are what stand testament to the statement An Adoptive Parent has a far greater responsiblity to their adopted child.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Part of the article says&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Adoption laws in Queensland have not been changed since 1964 but Premier Anna Bligh promised an overhaul prior to the March election.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After the election, the Adoption Bill 2009 was introduced to the State Parliament.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is understood one of the changes the Bill will provide for is allowing people in de facto relationships to be eligible to adopt. Currently only married people can adopt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;Thats just bluddy fantastic. They want to take the very foundation of a family unit and break it by allowing unwed couples to adopt. Sorry but if you cant commit to each other how the hell do you expect to commit to a child ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It further goes on to state&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Advocates of overseas adoption are furious that Australia is doing little to improve its low rate of adopting children from other countries.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;More than three years after actress Deborra-Lee Furness – wife of Hollywood actor Hugh Jackman – launched a campaign to make the Federal Government address the situation, lobbyists say little has been done and what has been done is "window dressing".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Furness and her supporters established Orphan Angels – an advocacy group to improve the long wait times and anti-adoption culture of Australia.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;At the time she told of how she and Jackman faced an uphill battle when they tried to adopt in Australia. The couple eventually adopted in America.&lt;/p&gt; As a result of the outcry, Canberra set up a body to streamline the process&lt;/blockquote&gt;Well BOOHOO. Seriously this wife of a movie star doesnt even live in Australia full time and is interfering in our laws.&lt;br /&gt;The reason we have an anti adoption culture is because we once did not, and out country was a shambles and a disgrace with all the shoddy adoptions that went on, children being ripped from their mothers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm disgusted and furious that she is using her influence of being Hugh Jackmans wife along with everyone else touting that fact to try to boost her following to further her own agenda.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd probably have more respect for the woman if Hugh Jackmans name wasnt in every single article (or any in fact) to do with her and her push for opening up adoption ease in Australia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article &lt;a href="http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,25765255-13360,00.html"&gt;CLICK HERE&lt;/a&gt; talks about our Australian Government and its policy of NOT allowing Private Adoption Practices here in Australia. Becuase they do not want Child Trafficking. Look at the countries around the globe that have Private Adoption Practices and Look at the horror stories connected to some of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope that Deborra Lee Furness stops meddling in Australia's adoption laws and policies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And...Just another reason I cant stand Labor. Not only do we have a jet setting Prime minister who spends more time OUT of our Country than in it, but we also have Premiers whose heads are turned by famous people (or wives of famous people anyway!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-7649122619097581273?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/-c7r2Job6Tg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/-c7r2Job6Tg/deborra-lee-furness-in-news-again.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/deborra-lee-furness-in-news-again.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-4046807044720018397</guid><pubDate>Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-11T13:16:29.214+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption sucks</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">prison break</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">adoption</category><title>Psycho Adoptive Mother - Prison Break</title><description>I want to rip her eyes out.

That they had the same parents and the same upbringing, but they're completely different.

I despise him for what he did  to Michael and his siblings. As I watched the Memorial yesterday , how I wanted to reach right through my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt; screen and say to home HOW DARE YOU - how dare you wear a HAT And CHEW GUM through your own sons memorial service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This man is supposed to be deeply religious ? P...L..E..A..S..E .....yeah and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; Bobbi Brown !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael, throughout the interview that I watched was so obviously still very child like in his nature and in deep pain. He was it appeared also quite manic in some parts of the interview , in the Germany section..&lt;br /&gt;There are a couple of areas that I feel that I need to touch on here, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;personally&lt;/span&gt;, as a mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The dangling of Blanket (Prince Michael II) from the balcony window in Germany, either A) there was no real baby and it was a doll or B) Michael was manic - Drugs, &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;Prescriptions&lt;/span&gt; Drugs can do that to you, I know, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;I'm&lt;/span&gt; not in front of cameras and screaming fans and goodness know what else going on..But Ive had doctors prescribe things that have had a adverse affect with my body.&lt;br /&gt;Michael Jackson is no different , he can still react to things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next issue is the feeding of Blanket (Prince Michael II) , The majority of people focused in on the muslin wrap/scarf over the baby, and whilst I personally cant stand that , there are MANY Women who breast feed their babies with such a scarf/ wrap. No, what I found distressing to me, as a mother was the jiggling up and down of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Michael's&lt;/span&gt; Legs, whist &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;giving&lt;/span&gt; the baby the bottle - looked like a pure recipe for a vomit!&lt;br /&gt;The baby was distressed at not getting the bottle and having the scarf &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;pulled&lt;/span&gt; this way and that way , It was CLEAR that the baby was distraught. But Michael was ALSO Distraught and in some sort of Manic state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I blame Joe Jackson, I blame&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; the Doctors / people loading Michael up with Drugs &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and I blame Bashir...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've now watched a "apology" from &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Bashir&lt;/span&gt;, the English reporter (full name Martin &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;Bashir&lt;/span&gt;) - what a Joke! Is he for real ? He was awful to Michael in the "Living with Michael Jackson" Interview.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a snake in the grass. He was a Wolf in Sheep Clothing. Sadly Michael also realised that , but too late and could not get out of it. He said in another interview that it was the worst betrayal :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How sad. I hope &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;Bashir&lt;/span&gt; has those words echoing in his head until the day he has to face Michael once again. But Michael will have forgiven him..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like I am sure when Joe Jackson joins his son one day , Michael will have forgiven him too. I hope too that Joe Jackson sits and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;contemplates&lt;/span&gt;, if not now but then on his death bed, how he played a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;pivotal&lt;/span&gt; role in the demise of his son, in his emotional fragility and his physical fragility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael was a shining star, he was a sensitive soul, he deserved better treatment in his childhood and in his adult life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael gave an awful lot to this world with not only his music  and talent but his oepn heart and massive generosity.  And what did the world give him back in return ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTHING until now - his DEATH - when the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;naysayers&lt;/span&gt; become Michael &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;believers&lt;/span&gt;, when the very people that hounded him suddenly now are lost in sadness ?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope the world will learn a lesson..you cant take it back..you cant take those words back, you cant take those hideous accusations back..you cant take the nastyness back...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It breaks my heart what has happened to Michael, it breaks my heart what is going to happen from now on........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michael was eccentric...I will agree with those that state it..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those that think this is some sort of crime, I say to you WHY ? and SO WHAT if he was eccentric, there are many people in many ordinary everyday families who are eccentric as well. We all have someone in our family thats a little different ....Thats what makes this world go round..&lt;br /&gt;Michael made this world special with his way...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/196/0E300DBE5DBA923E0D31D60E85EE59C3.png" style="border: medium none ; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/243342736602429013-8236696059005927747?l=adoptedjane.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~4/jY8Jv9nCzvk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AdoptedJane/~3/jY8Jv9nCzvk/michael-jackson-his-childhood-his.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Jane)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://adoptedjane.blogspot.com/2009/07/michael-jackson-his-childhood-his.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-243342736602429013.post-6320822496652009451</guid><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-09T19:44:26.868+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">michael jackson</category><title>Michael's Family and Close Friends....</title><description>TO you all, I wish you my deepest sympathies..

I also feel deeply sad for Farrah and her family in respect that The ? what is the right word here ? her demise was overshadowed by another brilliant artists passing that seems to have taken the shine off of Farrah. (as it were) - As I am sure that if Michael had not died so shortly after Farrah &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;then It&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; would have been &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Farrah's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; name that would have been on every Tabloid , Newspaper, Magazine &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;TV&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Station , Reporters Lips... Perhaps it is a blessing to her family ? I do not know the answer to this, but to her family I say Please know this that I am mourning Farrah's loss all the way over here in Australia, right along with you as I sure many many other people around the world are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RIP Beautiful Lady&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Michael Jackson - King Of Pop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aSqo17o2a1w&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aSqo17o2a1w&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;And he will always remain so. The man was and will remain forever a legend. Just as Elvis Presley was to the previous generation The King of Rock and Roll, Michael will remain the King Of Pop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ive chosen the song Ben as my &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;remembrance&lt;/span&gt; to him. His voice was so &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;unbelievably&lt;/span&gt; beautiful and he was such a beautiful boy. It is heartbreaking to listen to he words of not only Ben but to many other songs that Michael released and know that there was great sorrow behind those words. I believe the reason that he and indeed any song writer and or performer does so well in their field is because of their deep pain , love or &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;genuineness&lt;/span&gt; behind the emotion in their songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe more than likely that Michael ended his own life. I believe that in March when he announced his 50 concerts that he would be dead at 50, I believe that his words of "Let the final curtain Call" and his turning around waving behind him at the media and crowd was his final goodbye..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe when he said these words &lt;/span&gt; "the songs my fans want to hear" and promised again that "this is the final curtain call. I'll see you in July."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That he was meaning they would see him in July at his funeral/memorial, and that his songs of course would be played at his funeral /memorial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I believe that the man was in so much emotional and physical pain that he just wanted to escape..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that Michael had a horribly tormented childhood, and worse a terribly tormenting life by the media and all the many people who *hung* on to him for the many things he could do for them. Its not a new story, its happened before to many many other famous people who lived &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;torturous&lt;/span&gt; lives and died young. James Dean, Marilyn Monroe,  JFK, Elvis Presley , Princess Diana, Heath Ledger, the list could go on and on ... Some plagued more than others by paparazzi and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;innuendo&lt;/span&gt; , lies, rumour and so forth..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many people that will wish to sullen Michael &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;Jackson's&lt;/span&gt; name by screaming paedophile, calling him &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;whacko&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for his antics..and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but possibly those people do not know Michael Jackson before the scandals broke. Before he changed his face so much, before he went down a steep and slippery path until his own death just days ago..SO that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;is fine&lt;/span&gt; I can understand those people saying their thoughts, but that is only because they did not grow up with &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Michael's&lt;/span&gt; music and influence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From all accounts Michael had a very hard and troubled &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;childhood&lt;/span&gt;, it was not a easy childhood. From all &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;accounts&lt;/span&gt; he has still all the way through his life had *family &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;difficulties&lt;/span&gt;* Add to that the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;difficulties&lt;/span&gt; faced with the public and media, always wanting more until they broke him.&lt;br /&gt;Then the vultures came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I believe that Michael was a sexual predator of young children ? no I do not.&lt;br /&gt;What i do believe is that Michael regressed into living a sort of dream like child hood fantasy, he became a child, he started to live a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;fantasy&lt;/span&gt; life. I believe he would have thought nothing of sleeping in the same bed as a child because he regressed into being a child himself. I think Michael was pushed over the edge. I think all the *&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;whacko&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;* things that he did , the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;Neverland&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; ranch , the animals, the Monkey was all a step out of reality for him, I think with all the hounding, the wanting , the pushing , the constant media want want want at him , the changing of his face, the physical impact and toll on his own body and mind from that sent him over the edge into a different place of reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember when I saw him dangling his youngest child just a baby over the edge of the balcony I wanted to slap his face right off. I was so angry with him.  In this article &lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/2494249.stm"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; His close friend Yuri Geller suspected that the *baby* was a fake. The dolls the Baby &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;reborns&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; are very real looking , perhaps it was in fact a fake. I hope so for the 9month old infants sake that it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;wasn't&lt;/span&gt; in fact him and was in fact a fake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember being so angry with him, this incident more than anything turned me off him as a person for some time because I Was so angry with Michael Jackson, and for when I became a mother the following year I could never understand it. I still &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;don't&lt;/span&gt; understand it real baby or a fake baby, But I can try to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;possibly&lt;/span&gt; be a little empathetic towards Michael Jackson for the horrendous strain that he was under from everyone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My mother used to say Money cant buy you happiness, and while I do think that some money can certainly make you more comfortable, the mega millions that celebrities make does not bring them happiness, not true happiness. Everything has a price except happiness.. You just cant buy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;Michael's&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Family and True friends and fans that truly loved him you have my utmost heartfelt sympathies and condolences, and I mourn right along side you.

or spend eternity in a straight jacket doped to the eyeballs? some days I think thats preferable ;) when I'm having my bad adoptee day.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it really does beg the question "If adoptees are potrayed in such a bad light all the time, why are their so many people itching to steal them away from their mothers as soon as possible, if not yesterday?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are chastised as adult adoptees when we speak out of how we feel inside, growing up as an adoptee, we are as adoptees potrayed as pyschopaths on tv , movies, and in print, we are told that we should be grateful and just accept our lot in life and be happy, at times it almost feels like the days of when Adults would speak and tell children speak when spoken to, they would carry on their conversations , around you and about you and expect their children to be silent, no matter what was being discussed....&lt;br /&gt;At times, even in blogsville, I often feel like that..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its almost like we are really just a "means to a end" - To fill those couples hearts desire of having a baby , and when that has been accomplished then really there is no use for us...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If adoption is so hunky dory, delightful, and the best thing in this world since sliced bread, why is there such sterotying such as this movie (and the many others) that foster kids, orphans, adoptees are completely pyscho ???
