Why are so many anti-adoption activists?

Question

afraid to allow someone who supports adoption to read their questions?

Is it really that scary to see the words of a happy adoptee and unapologetic adoptive parent?

It's OK to be afraid, but you've got to recognize that you're just not in any position to answer any questions about adoption if you're that afraid of the topic.

Answer 1

You could always block them back if it makes you feel any better.  I don't think they care, and I definitly don't think they are afraid.

You are entitled to opinions just like everyone else, but the way you put them out there can be mean.  I think you like it like that.  And people that like to hurt others are not generally "happy" people.

But I try not to judge you and turn the other cheek, cause I'm d**n sure that you judge me.

Answer 2

I've only seen the opposite.

Pro-adoption at any cost infertile women are afraid to listen to the realities of adoption. They don't want to know the truth.  

I don't think you're an Ap nor adoptee. I would guess your another infertile having trouble getting her hands on a baby or someone making money off of selling them.  

Answer 3

They don't like the answers that those people provide so they get rid of them.  ITS THAT SIMPLE.  

Some of those people preach education, and then block others from answering when it doesn't "agree" with their position or point.  

What's scary is that some are even p-adoptive parents.  I feel sorry for the kids they adopt.  They say one thing that their parents disagree with and they may get locked into their room or something.

Answer 4

Its only you because you are a load of c**p and hide behind denial.  You are also a spiteful individual who is wasting space.

And if you were as happy as you claim, you would not be as spiteful and hateful as you are.

Answer 5

I have nothing to hide.

In fact, I have my IM option on.

Unlike some people here, and I'm aiming it at other people as WELL as you. =P

Answer 6

I just read another question of yours, and you reported someone because they used the term 'real mother'?! Get over it!! No, it's not hate language, as you said, in the adopted community, and you're being a tad over-dramatic... If you can't handle the terms people use (without them having to be PC), then maybe you shouldn't have adopted... Go ahead and report me: I'll report you right back.

Answer 7

It's because there are so many people who have been told that their own experiences are not valid by people who would like to think they should be allowed to speak for others they disagree with and silence them.

Adoption is a complex issue. Pretending it is possible to make it simple doesn't change the realities.  

I am neither an adoptee nor an adoptive parent, but using the words "unapologetic adoptive parent" clearly speaks volumes about the issues you have failed to deal with.  

Answer 8

I can understand the blocking some people do.  But, I'm not quite sure why some people have all their answers/questions set as 'private'.  What's to hide?

Answer 9

I don't have anyone blocked, my Q&A (heck, even my myspace) is public, and my e-mail option is on,

BUT

I understand people are blocked when they go around wrongfully reporting people

Answer 10

I am not afraid of you, nor your words or your opinions.  If I gave a thought to your opinion at all, it would probably be to feel pity that the insanity of maintaining the lie-that-is-adoption is so very important to you.  That really is rather sad.    It seems that anything that is said that shakes your narrow viewpoint of the truth is threatening and therefore not valid, in your eyes.  I am sorry.

Answer 11

I think you need to get help for your Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

No one is afraid of you. On the contrary, I suspect you are fragile infertile.

Answer 12

I'm not afraid, i just don't see much sense coming from your answers, and I'd prefer to have more intelligent discussions.

No fear here.

I've been there and done that with your kind. I don't get much from it. No offense, but you did ask.  

Answer 13

I would assume that the 'reading' part is not the problem.

It's when they get abused by ignorant AP's commenting with false information that is only written to lash out and hurt adoptees and first mothers.

No one is 'afraid' of you Suzy.

Perhaps if you just got your head out of your bum - people would listen to you more.

Answer 14

I didn't block u because i was afarid of your answers. there are many people who i don't agree with sometimes. Yet i don't block them....because guess what?! They are respectful and do not insult me or others. U on the otherhand when you answered my questions, would always hurtful insulting things not only to me but to others who were nice enough to answer my questions. So, why should I let u answer my questions when actually don't answer the question, but use it as a platform to insult other people? I will not be used so you can insult people in your answers.

Answer 15

Maybe they don't like you.

Can't blame them for that - all I've seen from you is anti-adoptee and anti natural mother waffle.

Answer 16

Well I don't have you blocked right now.

I find the simplicity of your comments amusing.

And your ability to lie to the expectant mothers you obviously despise...well that's kind of comical too.  And pathetic. And sad.  You're like a pundit in bizarro world.

Opposite day!  Opposite day!

You know that no one with more than a fifth grade education believes the hooey you're trying to wrap in a ribbon and serve to us, right?

You get that?  Right?

I have blocked a couple of people.  One because she always rants about abortion and how we all could have ended up in a garbage can.  I find that image frightening and I know that in my case it wasn't true so I don't really need her "Hate speech" gumming up my answers.

The other person I blocked is just plain crazy.  No loss there.

Yahoo Answers has the whole blocking mode for a reason.  I'm sorry it's hurting your feelings but if you can't take the heat, don't play in the kitchen.

No one ever said life was fair, you know.

Answer 17

I don't have anyone blocked.  But, if an asker blocks, it's normally to keep someone who is habitually abusive in his or her responses to that asker from participating in the asker's questions.

Answer 18

I am an adopted and I never wish to meet or live with my birth giver. I did meet her just after my 16 birthday and only because she would not stop calling. I have not seen her anymore nor do I wish to. I have a mom and that is all I need.

Answer 19

Apparently you're unaware that all you have to do is sign out and you can see the question.

The point is not to keep you from reading the question.  You block people so that they can't report you or answer your questions (and with your abusive attitude, I understand why).

Answer 20

"Anti-adoption activists"?

My, you are dramatic.  I wonder if your mother is, too?

Anyway, I got tired of the violations from you, so my q & a's are none of your beeswax.

More digging for you, hon.
