After being kicked out of other groups for expressing too
many contradictory opinions, I wanted to begin a place where
it was safe to be an "uppity adoptee". The ability to object
is not generally considered to be a desirable trait in an
adoptee by others. But it is essential that we be able to
protest, and express contradictory sentiments if we ever
expect to change the laws we are subject to.
After seeing politically motivated censorship of certain
cases on other lists..it was high time to begin one where it
was safe to disagree. Where adoptees could discuss openly
their challenges and celebrate their differences regardless
of background.
This list is for adoptees, orphans, people from blended
families, and other types of surrogate arrangements who
want the option to disagree with what they're told about
their origins. It is also for their friends, parents,
professionals and others who would like to learn more
about alternatives to the current code of silence and how
to be supportive of adoptees who challenge our preconceived
notions.
