Me and my sister were both mislabled with all kinds of disorders, andchucked out into the streets as soon as we turned 18. Living in various homeless shelters most of the people I met there my age were also adopted and had similar stories. Adopted father called them a bastard all the time and resented them being there. Adopted mother made up all kinds of behavioral disorders and tried to get rid of them.

My own adopted mom claimed I had multiple psychological disorders, called up the police lying about me saying I hit her or threatened her. When no one was around she’d openly admit she lied about it and even laugh about it. When anyone else was around she switched into upstanding caring mother mode.

I agree foster care isn’t great. And abortion isn’t great obviously. But the best solution I think is to work with these women who feel they can’t raise a child, or are made to feel that way. So they can remain with the birth-mothers.

I don’t view adoption as any less than the selling of human beings for profit. It should definitely be made illegal and so should abortion. Particularly in the US we have more than enough money and resources to assist women with “accidental pregnancies” and treatments and assistance to be able to raise their child. Really these women have nothing more important to do than raise their kids. Many of them like my own biological mother were young and impressionable and other people are telling them what to think and do. If these women were made to feel raising a kid wasn’t impossible for them I’m sure there would be much less abortions and adoptions and most importantly the children would be much better off.
