"Positive" Adoption Language (aka "propaganda")

Kerry — Sun, 25 May 2008 11:19:41 -0600

Please read the following text, and tell me just how accurate this PAL crap, (as exampled on Holt's media page of parental terms and use...http://www.holtintl.org/media/language.shtml ) reads by those "touched" by the international adoption industry:

Are there any groups or organizations that advocate the legal rights of adults who have been victimized through the corrupt/negligent practices of Child Protective Services?

Why was this man convicted?

As only a Pound Pup can appreciate, sometimes life happens because the wrong face is presented at the wrong time, and claimed as being "the one".

The Psycho-Circumstances Behind Bambi's Death

If an adoptee says he wants to "get rid" of his adoptive family, does that mean he's a cold-blooded killer, or just a person frustrated with loss, anger and feelings of misplacement?

If an adoptee lives with a person with a formally diagnosed mental illness, is that adoptee equally mentally ill?

If an adoptee is convicted of a mass-murder, what are the chances his natural family will ever want to have anything to do with him?

Can we train our brains to react in new ways?

People go to therapists for Behavior Modification; money is paid for drugs to heal depression and addictions, but can technology help scientists heal those who want to heal themselves?

What if you fell in love with someone with a shady past or criminal record?

Is the love of a good person powerful enough to change the evils of a bad past?

"My name is Earl"

Kerry — Thu, 15 Nov 2007 18:23:16 -0700

Hub-man introduced me to this NBC program.

A convict wants to correct all the things he did wrong in his life. 400 things, according to HM. It just so happens, the prison this guy is in... his brother works as a guard.

Beautiful.

It gets better.

Tonight's episode had to do Earl's ex-wife, who became a surrogate mother, wanted the baby out.

"My body, my choice"

OMG...

Need I say more?

Residents wonder how things go down like they do...

Maybe it's being an Outsider with an Insider's Perspective that makes me so surprised Average Americans are stunned when a shooting takes place outside their average homes.

People can't understand how a sherrif can become a gun-man, and turn on it's town's young. [Wis. residents wonder how killer of 6 could have become sheriff's deputy]

Gee, Davey, I dunno!

You'd be surprised what happens behind closed doors, wouldn't you?

Let's Try Something New and Different...

Kerry — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 08:11:40 -0600

I wrote a message called A List of Supporters, asking if the Adoption Industry would be interested in assisting the prison community by building a campus structure that mimics a college community, one that would house families for inmates that are well behaved for long-term sentencing. After all, if inmates are shut-out from their own children, how are those children going to bond with their families... through foster-care and adoptive families?

Isn't that how the problem got started from the beginning?

Life-Lessons

Kerry — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 06:37:11 -0600

This discussion is based on current events that seem to keep threading their way into the fabric of American Culture. There is a certain amount of personal responsibility and accountability that is NOT being taught by a child's assigned role-models, and we as adults need to ask ourselves, "Why?"

Sick pups!

Last year I went to The Tower of London, and became facinated with historic prisons and torture museums. What surprised me most was the macabre interest so many people seem to have in torture museums and prison paraphanalia. Below is a brief list I compiled for you sick pups.

Pediatric Psychiatric Disorders: are these pint-sized problems?

I cannot help but ask: How many of the following pages mention "adoption", "abandonment", and "abuse"? Who's minding the business of abused, abandonded and adopted children?

The Cost Of Living

If a hostage turns on his captors, he is deemed a hero.

If a child turns on his captors/owners, he is deemed a danger to society.

Desperate is what desperate does, making all acts and actions worth a second look.
