Being coercive to natural mothers is bad- but does it not work BOTH ways?

Answer 1

Typical. That case is one of the 2 or 3 that exist and  agency's and attorney's making millions off the adoption business are exploiting "it" to put pressure on the govt to continue to let them get away with all the other illegalities going on as well as play on the sympathy of those that are desperate for a baby and people completely ignorant of the atrocities happening.

I don't expect you to comprehend that just like the Michigan couple trying to adopt 4 kids that were praising an orphanage that was busted for harboring 200 children reported missing and over 80 attorneys were involved and are being investigated. Unfortunately, the person that printed that story was fired under pressure from these criminals being paid by US couples looking to "adopt".

Nice try though but expected from someone that doesn't care about human rights in general.

Hopefully, its not going to take your a-child disowning you to get you to wake up.

Edit: Sorry Googly eyes, Kristy or now whatever. Unlike yourself 1 account is sufficient.

Sybil, I feel sorry for the baby you "adopted?".

Edit:

Thanks for that article..Look a little deeper into it and see whose really behind that propaganda at its finest. Those same slime ball attorneys making millions off of child trafficking. You can continue to believe what you "read" by a country that is filled with bribery, suppression and coercion. "Whatever", makes you feel and sleep better."    I'll continue to believe what I see first hand and what human rights organizations are unveiling.  In the end the truth will come out and the children affected by this big atrocity will find out. That's a given.

The really sad thing about that article it  involves many teenagers that were "forced" to have kids by the fathers or another relative to make money off of it.  You're still wrong for contributing to it and taking advantage of it, no matter what your agency led you to believe.

Answer 2

I'm sorry to hear that you think it "sucks" that the Guatemalan government is trying to make sure all adoptions are legal and ethical, daisy mcpoo.

Perhaps you prefer the old system of bribing, stealing, and selling children?  

It's sad that some women have to re-live the experience of giving up their children, but for the benefit of EVERYONE involved, I think it's better to be good and sure that nothing unethical is being done.

Answer 3

Dear Whatever,

I don't understand where the coersion comes in. (I've read this artical in reprint SEVERAL times over the last two months.) Could you please explain what is coersive about this situation?

ETA: Doesn't what you describe fall under First Parent coersion. In which case, I find it disgusting.

Answer 4

That sucks that the government is doing that. At least all those babies would have been somewhere, and not in orphanages. But then i'm not surprised that there would be illegal stuff going on since adoptions were so easy there - I agree, it could be going both ways from the birth mothers and the adoptive parents.

Answer 5

I've read this story a few times and I'm not exactly clear on the point you're trying to make...just how are natural mothers coercing adoptive parents?

Answer 6

I think it does work both ways. Some people in adoption are not coercive at all, some birth parents are coercive, some adoptive parents/agencies, etc are too.

But what does that have to do with the article? I'm confused. Its an interesting article, but not exactly related. If it was something about a coercive woman who had placed her child up for adoption then it would make sense but its not.

Answer 7

I find it extremely sad that they are doing this to these babies, mothers, and parents.  Almost everyone single one is legal but they are going to turn their worlds upside down for months to even years.  So sad.
