First of all, for someone who is in college, you have really
bad spelling and grammar.
I had to stop myself from lunging at the screen with the repeated
misuse of “they’re” and “your”, not to mention the spelling errors. But I digress.
You rant and rave about women you’ve come across on
posts and forums who are asked to tell “her story”.
That’s right, it’s “her story”, not YOUR story.
From the sounds of it, your adopted childrens’ mother was
not in a good place when they were taken from her. And I don’t think you will find many people
out there (adoptees/natural mothers) who would say, “Who cares if she was a
drug addict and neglected the kids, they should stay with her!”. If that’s what you think, then you clearly
aren’t paying attention.
Who are you to say, however, that the stories you read on
the blogs/forums WEREN’T the truth for those women that you so nonchalantly
label as “Pathetic”? You think that
investigating into the stories you have read would all reach the same
conclusion of the women being “complete fuck ups”. That's just sad. We all live our truths. We all have to bear the burden of what life has offered us individually.
The probable reason for you being upset that your “dissenting
opinion” wasn’t allowed through was because you may have come off as disrespectful and not thinking
about the fact that you were writing about real people.
Real mothers who have real stories.
Have a little compassion.
Sincerely,
Christina
An adoptee who has HER own story as well
