The jennifer and paul posts raised some issues which could start a significant
thread. I would like to suggest that discussion of adoption be moved to
alt.adoption. Without stirring the fire paul's view of adoption is fraught
with a seriously skewed prespective. Adoption is a complicated issue which
should be handled with great respect to ensure the well-being of a child.
The concept of referring to adoption as a "booby prize" for infertile is very
insensitive to the adoptive parents, cli
child, and birthparents. Again, I would strongly suggest those interested in
adoption subscribe to alt.adoption for a wider view of adoption issues from
the stand point of all three participants in the adoption triangle.
