What is your term for anti-adoption?

Question

I see the term anti-adoption on here alot and it got me to wonder what is anti-adoption. Is it this belief--http://desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071215/OPINION04/712150305/1038/OPINIONhttp://www.antiadoption.org/ or is it the belief that those that are for adoption but want open records and more reforms are anti-adoption. I'm just curious because I see on here the term anti-adoption thrown around here alot. I believe that anti-adoption are people who are extermely against adoption, that they want it abolished. People who want open records and reforms, i don't think are anti-adoption. Your thoughts? Please be respectful. Thanks

Answer 1

she does not have to open her profile if she does not want to geez what jerks.    i am for adoption, my dh was adopted when he was just 2 days old and we are planning to adopt in the coming year. I think if a child wants to when they get of age and wants to know more about there birth parents that they should be allowed to do so, but I believe if the birth parents wants to be apart of the child's life that they stay with in the allowed boundaries that was set from the beginning and NEVER cross that line.

Answer 2

I am anti-adoption. I think child abandonment should be illegal. Consider how it is illegal to starve or beat a child, but society promotes mothers leaving their newborns  a la "safe haven"? This is disgusting.

I promote abortion. I think abortion should be safe and availble to all women who want one.

I may be the lone voice of anti-adoption here, and I'm fine with that.

Answer 3

To me anti-adoption is some one who is against adoption, attacks anyone who is for it including adoptees. They ignore anything good that comes from adoption intent on blaming adoptive parents for everything. They use infertile as a weapon designed to hurt those who disagree even when infertility is not the issue. I do not believe that they really care about what is best for the child, they seem intent on "winning" and nothing else. Reform is not an issue here and I do not belive it ever was. I have not seen a single person here who disputes reform is needed. Saying that we don't want reform is only a way to make us look bad with hopes that people will not listen to us, it is the same as the excessive thumbs down. An attempt to belittle us and make it appear as if nobody agrees with us. It is a subtle form of manipulation and childish.

Answer 4

I think antiadoption are people whom lives in a fantasy world. Mostly are women who pick on other women who couldn't give birth, or to invoke jealousy or resentment. That's what I observed on adoption section.

Answer 5

My term for anti adoption is n**i. n**i is the word of the day, tomorrow it will be terrorist, Thursday it will be psycho.

People who accuse others of being anti-adoption without actually knowing where that person stands on the issue are immature and attention seeking. Much like how a two year old will bite you and accept the scolding then turn around and do it again. Negative attention is still attention. I don't care what people think about me but if they are going to call me out they had better be able to back it up with evidence.

Answer 6

In my opinion, "anti-adoption" means you are opposed to adoption under almost every circumstance.  I personally think labels are stupid & immature but if people are going to use them, at least use them correctly.  

Those who have been labeled as "anti-adoption" should be called "pro-reform" instead, in my opinion.  

I think the reason some label these people as anti-adoption is because you rarely see them say even one positive comment about adoption.....as if there are ONLY negatives.  When you choose to only ever speak negatively about adoption, then don't be surprised when someone labels you as anti-adoption.

Answer 7

To me anti-adoption means you never want adoption to happen.

No, I don't think wanting reforms and rights for adoptees make you anti-adoption, that is like saying I want people to drive carefully and not get into car accidents are anti-driving.

Answer 8

i think the terms anti-adoption and adoption-reformist often are inappropriately interchanged.  in the same way that pro-choice and pro-abortion are.

honestly, i think it's an easy way for those who think that no loss or coercion comes from adoption to vilify those who have less than steller views of the practice ..

it's the same as people who believe that those who are "pro-choice" hate kids and want to abort every pregnancy.

to me, anti-adoption mean no adoption under ANY circumstance.  i have honestly not met anybody on this forum who believes that.

oh...and healing, how dare you be so stuck-up as to not let every creep on the internet who purports to be a millionaire in training scheme on some poon!!! :-) LOL!!! thank GOD that this creep can't actually connect with you.  millionaire under training??? more like "stalker under training!"

Answer 9

Anti-adoption means just that.

I am not anti-adoption myself.  However, I am anti unethical adoption practices, which people often mistake for being totally anti-adoption.  It's not right and it's inaccurate.  But people will insist on throwing that label at anyone who points out anything wrong with adoption

So what if people are anti-adoption anyway, they're entitled to feel that way

I see alot of anti-adoptee attitudes here on Y/A which is ironic since adoptees ARE adoption! LOL

I guess folks only like the pre-verbal type adoptees or the complient, grateful, people pleasing adoptees LOL
