Annelizly, it is too bad that you are so immature you can’t be grateful for life. This woman could have aborted this child, and this child needs to be glad she didn’t Now she has a chance at life, to make a difference in this world and for her future family.
She was given up at birth. There are not missing pictures; there is no missing family. It just people, like you, that suffer a bit in life, that think it must be because “I don’t know my mommy (whine, whine, whine).”
I was given up at birth, taken back, taken away, spent awhile in foster care. THERE IS NOTHING for me from those years. But she didn’t abort, and didn’t kill me. And finally, when the time came, she let me go. I thank God for that every day. I have a chance at life, a chance at praising Him, and knowing His Love. I don’t have time to worry about her.
You are the only one on here griping about the poor adoptees who have sad feelings, and need to be fulfilled. I am telling you to get over it and get on with your life.
First. I am grateful for life. just as grateful as anyone else but not more so.
Yest that woman was given life and not aborted. so she should be more grateful than anyone else who was born? bologne!
this girl didn’t know when she went searching that she was aproduct of rape or that her situation was so tragic. maybe she assumed that she fell into the larger percentage that were given up for adoption unwillingly by a parent who loved her and hoped to meet her someday. there are many reunions that turned out just that way and were wonderful.
and second, do not assume to know one way or another if i have “gotten on with my life”. i’m sure you’ll be happy to know that my life is quite “gotten on with”. with husband, children, and all sorts of wonderful things. just because my opinion doesn’t mesh with yours doesn’t mean that I don’t have a life.
Just because you had a terrible beginning doesn’t mean that everyone did.
I DID have a reunion with my birth family and it was WONDERFUL and worth every second of searching.
so, you see, searching and finding IS AND WAS everything that it could and should be!
And if you are referring to being a good christian in your post then i would pray about your “whine , whine, grow up, immature” name calling behavior. Its unseemly.
Sometimes Christians need a good butt whipping to get them into shape. You are in definite need of one.
Yes, I am saying she, and you, shouldn’t have looked. It was all about you.
I wouldn’t dream of criticizing you for the pursuit of your birth parents. If I were adopted, I would want to know, too. I can only imagine that it is painful not to know where you came from.
But my main concern with this case is that if women know that a child that they gave up for adoption years ago could turn up on their doorstep asking even the most legitimate question like “Why did you give me up?”, then more women might opt for abortion just to have closure on a painful chapter of their life.
In a case like this, where the child was a product of rape, who does it serve to unearth this thirty years later? Not the woman, not the rejected child, not the woman’s other children or family. The fact is that everyone suffered from this action and no one benefited. It was just flat out the wrong thing for the State to do.
And for others who think that the mother is just in it for the money, if she hadn’t filed a lawsuit, we wouldn’t be discussing this. This is America — about the only way that you can get attention and change from the government on an issue like this, IS to file a lawsuit for a substantial amount of money. Sad, but true.
