Thank you for posting all that you do. It's bracing and believable when you do it; when I talk about it, I'm just another first mother ranting...

and I am surrounded by adoptive parents who don't want to know. The woman who recently brought back a gorgeous three-year-old from Nepal I can't even look in the face, let alone talk to her.

Thanks, Lorraine. I HATE that people won't listen to first mothers and adoptees on these issues. I know you are all capable of speaking out for yourselves, and don't need me speaking for you. But I also know the reality is that adoptive parents are more likely to be listened to (not that I reach that many, or that that many listen when I say something that contradicts their world view about adoption!).
