Started off pretty tame, but now there are definite
sides being taken with people getting offended. Not sure how to proceed.
Thanks!

I think the members are handling it just fine. It's a thread of voicing your opinion and everyone is doing just that. I do find it really interesting that Rylee would rather not get into the "why" but then posts a huge long thing of why. Huh.
Maybe it's just me and I'm trying not to be judgemental here...lol...but every position she takes on any issue discussed all comes back to adoption "victimization" for her...have you noticed that? I.e. - single people = gay people = shouldn't adopt because my baby was taken from me.
I don't get it. I know I can't even imagine her pain but I don't know...there's just a big part of me that sees her as a vindictive person against the world because of something that happened long ago.
well, i really tried not to pull from another thread, but i just thought it was interesting that only married hetero couples should adopt....but, NOT her daughter.

I know crick...the interesting thing to me is that she's been so opposed forever to people judging her (young, unwed mother, etc.) but then she can flip so quickly to judge others.
I also noticed the whole, "I won't get into it" followed fairly soon by a diatribe detailing every possible reason...I don't know...
Everyone's being eerily respectful on all threads recently though, so hopefully it continues that way.
Anne...good to see you!!!:)
I think most people will just post their thoughts and a "wow..you are entitled, but.." which is fine. It'll be interesting to see if that leads to less support for her in other areas though.
Christine - you are right..hadn't thought of it that way, but the judgement thing is true.
Just a little heads - up cuz I thought this thread had died already but jjsmom3 responded and says something about birthmoms vs adoptivemoms. I don't even see how this thread represents that - I think it's more close-minded generalizing posters vs. open-minded and accepting posters ( oops said that out-loud). Anyway it might get heated up again. Here's her post FYI [url]http://forums.adoption.com/2115052-post29.html[/url]
