My agressive abuser was my adoptive mother. My passive abuser was my adoptive father.

As an adoptee I was subjected to mental, emotional, physical, and financial abuse.

About Abuse: 

What more can you say about abuse other that is it wrong. Any type of abuse leaves wounds that will never heal. It amazes me what passes for non abusive  behavior. I see parents all around me doing things they should be embarassed about. Perhaps I am quick to judge, but keeping children safe is what ismost important here.

About adoption: 

I still believe that adoption is a wonderful option. However, I am against international adoption as well as interracial adoption. In both cases children are forced to live in a culture that claims to be more diverse it really is. 

I am very much against infant adoption. It has become a way to make money and the best interest of the child is no longer the main concern. I think every effort should be made to keep families together. I do realize that it is not always an option in those cases I think it is imperative that an infant be placed with a family of similar ethnicity, not the "next person on the list"

For the record, my husband and I are licensed foster parents. We believe that thought my childhood experience we can be effective, compassionate, loving care takers of children who can not be with their families. Our goal as foster parents is to take care of these kids like they are our own in the hopes that they can be reunited with their families
