Adoption.com is meant to be a support site for those touched by adoption. We recognize that not everyone has a positive experience with adoption and we are a support site for ALL who come here, regardless of your position or opinions.
While we appreciate the fact that not everyone celebrates adoption, or believes that adoption is positive for everyone, it must be said that we are a PRO adoption site.
In recent months, weve seen an influx of members who have a different view of adoption than we do. While we do think it is important that members get a fair and balanced view of adoption by hearing the personal stories of those with different experience, it has become apparent that some of those who have a negative adoption experience arenҒt doing that. They have infiltrated our site to do one thing, tell us we are all in denial, we are all damaged or we are all baby thieves.
I know this may cause some confusion for someI certainly donŒt want to drive members awayas that is not my intention Ŗ all I ask is that members own their statements share your stories, your feelings, your opinions, without making sweeping generalizations.
I have a few friends who do not believe adoption is a viable option ֖ they dont support adoption in any way, shape or form, but I remain friends with these people because they donҒt push their opinions on me. This isnt an adoption battleground.
Everyone can safely share their opinions without making offensive and sweeping generalizations. If youҒre of the opinion that everyone here is wrong, that we all have our heads in the sand and that youre here to ґshow us the light then I will be honest with you and tell you that this is not the place for you. Those members who continually bash other members for being pro-adoption WILL be banned. Those members who join for the sole purpose of attacking the ґpro-adoption machine by sharing anti-adoption propaganda, will be banned.
This applies to Private Messages as well.
Please, continue to stay on board and share YOUR story from YOUR prospective Җ but the sweeping generalizations and attacks against adoption must stop. Adoption.com is a PRO Adoption website. There are anti-adoption sites out there that might be a better fit for those kinds of opinions.
We arent looking to be ґshown the way Җ Thanks anyway.

Thank you for bringing this up. I have witnessed first hand these certain anti adoption groups infiltrate any adoption sites that will let them. I have been berated on several occasions by these people and I consider adoption.com a very safe place.
I am so happy that teh mods are on top of this.
FTR~ I know for a fac that these people have their own sites and will not hesitate to immediately ban or call a troll to anyone remotely pro adoption. Also, these people take pride in spreading their anti adoption hate and will boast and brag about their hanidwork on their site. This includes and is not limited to posing as potential adoptive parents or potential birthmoms as well as adoptees in order to put a spin on things. They do this not only or forums but to adoption agencies as well.
Just make sure and double read any posts that seem to be a little off. The MO seems to be asking for support and then after gaining some sympathy, hitting hard.
MY motto is: If in doubt of something, always consult with a mod. These people have a way of snaking their way in.
