Personally I think her posts are too much, but I don't know.

Brook,I don't think you're wrong for deleting FC's post - because it was hers...but I don't believe AdoptionCrossroads is anti-adoption.They are very much pro-ethical practices. They take the position that agencies don't act ethically - and as such, children who would have never been placed, were placed. They are very supportive of adoption, in full disclosure situations - from what I understand...it's the unethical crap (as well as closed records etc) they have a real problem with.I think we need to be careful about what we label as anti - we need to make sure we're not calling something anti-adoption, simply because they use language we're uncomfortable with...Crossroads is a site created by and for adoptees and birth parents...sometimes, we translate someones anger over a situation as anti-adoption.It's very possible to be angry about a number of issues related to adoption and still consider adoption a good thing - I do it every day :)But then again - a lot of people translate my 'anger' as being anti-adoption - and NOTHING could be further from the truth...

I think it's best that Brandy did it. If it had been one of us evil adopters, she would have made a bigger stink. Of course I am sure she thinks we have brainwashed Brandy.
ok...i am so sorry...actually i just clicked on 2 things and saw things that i thought of as negative....but i didn't research much further than that bc of who it was. i am sorry...i will be more through next time. i understand what you are saying completely. :)

Crossroads is a site created by and for adoptees and birth parents...sometimes, we translate someones anger over a situation as anti-adoption.
It's very possible to be angry about a number of issues related to adoption and still consider adoption a good thing - I do it every day :)
But then again - a lot of people translate my 'anger' as being anti-adoption - and NOTHING could be further from the truth...
