Next, a tearful young woman puking in the bathroom of a cheap bar after trying to drown her sorrow about losing her child, and an ugly old couple who look more like grandparents with her baby.

Stabbing an egg with scissors? <br /><br />It reminds me of the stupid 80s commercial where the menacing man confuses yummy breakfast with drugs. I mean who is the crack-head, oh I love bad Humpty puns, but really. <br />Who is the confused one here? What kind of drugs? Amoxicillin? Aspirin? My brains were never yummy with a dash of hot sauce and a side of hash...browns after indulging. Maybe he meant sugar and processed foods? Idk, just know he is funny as hell,a classic. <br /><br />In the Congressional reports on criminalizing LSD, yes,I have read them but as a teenager, so I don't know if they have now been wiped clean of the data stream, was after ingestion of LSD, young men failed to have interest in joining military service. I got my info from books in the library...<br /><br />It was good enough for the C.I.A.though, but enough with my subversiveness, let's all look back and try to follow this tough guy's reasoning. I think the adoption agencies took him as a genius, this poor addled fellow that can't discern the difference between breaky and drug use...tres droll<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub_a2t0ZfTs<br /><br />Any Questions? Um,yeah, can I get some fruit and a biscuit with that?<br /><br />Another beauty:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyXFN4ocN_o<br /><br />Any Questions? Um,yeah, are you going to make youth parenting clean up after your psychotic destruction of your mom's kitchen? Is she going to have to hold babies while she does this? Another question, is your smashing of kitchen an endorsement of sobriety? <br /><br />I don't know, I was a youth parenting and my kid is fab and grown and I weirdly still have to do housework, and I weirdly still graduated from college and have a successful life.<br /><br />I think the only thing that has ever made me break shit was being adopted. Maybe we should make some PSA's this is your brain,this is your brain after your identity is sealed,after your familial relationships are criminalized. After you yourself are criminalized, stigmatized, and made a permanent second-class citizen.<br /><br />We should,but I think we can do it without eggs.Joynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-78967181489681373202012-04-15T19:41:39.186-04:002012-04-15T19:41:39.186-04:00Those kinds of ads should be illegal.

Of course, this would qualify them as experts on the first mother and adoptee experience. They refer to adoptive children (I thought that should be adoptED children)but grammar aside, they also refer to expectant mothers as birthmothers. Yep, right off the bat get them thinking of themselves as not really the child's mother. Better to seal the deal.<br /><br />Sad that so many people who aren't savvy about adoption don't realize how much manipulation is going on.Robinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-80838499502746187472012-04-15T13:35:20.296-04:002012-04-15T13:35:20.296-04:00Well heck!

We were joking that I was a married mom in my 30's, with multiple advanced degrees and all the trappings, holding my baby while doing housework, and I still was frazzled as hell. The answer, from the pictures, my husband said, is clearly to adopt! Not to place: everyone should adopt! That's how you get instant college graduates with no fuss, no muss, as the pictures show. Only if you adopt can you be "happy." We both gagged. <br /><br />It's so sad that young women can be made to think by the vultures in agencies, that parenting is never enjoyable hard work, that you can't do it as a single parent, that a child is "better off" with strangers who may be divorced in a year or who may be alcoholic child abusers, for all the mother knows. It's in selling the product, and the adoption industry is slick. How I hate the NCFA and the agencies. The lies just don't stop. <br /><br />I had an infant prebirth matching adoption in my extended afamily this week, through Bethany (yuck), and while I know the parents and that they'll be great parents, the whole situation is heartbreaking. I keep thinking of the mother and the new baby, and what they're feeling. Reading your posts about Bethany coercion really makes me wonder what happened behind the scenes.ms. marginaliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03854609171313401651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-9318453533550716502012-04-15T09:58:35.480-04:002012-04-15T09:58:35.480-04:00I find the idea that college grads don't have ...I find the idea that college grads don't have to work hard, mop floors, etc., ludicrous.
