I sometimes think I should just get rid of my tv, but then I would miss a lot of sports!<br /><br />I have another post here about the media and adoption. I was really steamed that day! Anderson Cooper was giving so much time to abortion on his show, and no mention of adoption what so ever! I know that this is not the most pleasant of subjects for some, but there needs to be someone to step up and give the OTHER choice a voice! There are so many girls out there who are pregnant and not sure what to do, if they turn this crap on then they will see it as the norm. I am not saying "Let's have a show with just happy birthmothers." That is not what I strive for. I just want someone to take notice that there are wonderfuly touching, moving, difficult stories out there that could benefit these girls and help them see the positive along with the negative. we all know about the negative, that is what we constantly see. If someone would just show them that it can be rewarding and healthy for all involved ... the adoptee, the adoptive parents and the birth parents ... to be honest about it and work through it, then there just might be a whole generation of women who can make an educated choice for themselves based on all the stories that are out there.<br /><br />Thank you for your response and thank you for reading!<br /><br />My best to you,<br />KelseyKelsey Stewart, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772746376820263241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2954722762708102532.post-29634144079826513632010-01-06T08:24:24.584-08:002010-01-06T08:24:24.584-08:00Hi! I don't know you, but I got your blog off ...Hi! I don't know you, but I got your blog off the birthmothers website. I am a birthmom myself and I agree with you 100%. The truth of the matter is, is that good is becoming evil and evil is becoming excepted/good. All of the core values that made this country what it was to begin with is being obliterated. It's considered selfish to place a child for adoption but not to abort it? The health care bill could help to insure abortions but they don't offer any type of help for adoption or information or anything? Things are seriously skewed. <br /><br />I am with you, I USED to be a news junkie, but I don't watch the news anymore for these reasons. Have you watched the show "Find my Family"? I have found this to be a very positive show about adoption. The only problem is that it probably won't last and it will probably get cancelled. Thanks for your thoughts, you don't need a point to what you are saying, its the fact that you are saying how things really ARE.debs lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652128924655352504noreply@blogger.com
