When I read Liz Latty's excellent piece on why mainstream feminism is pro-adoption* I was reminded of three strong feminists I've known in Oregon, all of whom served in the Oregon legislature and were adoptive mothers, I don't know why they adopted; two had biological children as well, suggesting to me that they saw adoption as both a way to save a child and a way to build their families without increasing the population.
From a few discussions with these women, I'm convinced of the sincerity of their actions, but also convinced that they
wanted to accept the adoption industry Orwellian double think: Mothers love their children so much that they make the selfless decision to place them.
