The Angry Adoptive Mom (Alias Third Mom) is not really so angry rather she points out that there are SOME Adoptive Parents who use strong language/vitriol/'sainthood' attitudes/vicious hurting words/etc. AGAINST those who are attacking them.
If you have read "Third Mom" you would know that she herself adopted a son and daughter. This is from her site that focuses on her personal experiences with adoption.
About This Angry A-Mom
- Margie
- Mom through Korean adoption. I wrote about my personal experiences with adoption at Third Mom. Now I focus on adoption (in)justice and reform at Angry Adoptive Mom. I support a woman's right to parent the children born to her, every adopted person’s legal and human right to their birth identity and unfettered access to their original birth certificate, and just and ethical adoption laws and practices.

- The KWB believes in hearing a wide range of Voices and Margie (As an 'Adopter') has indeed been a voice of reason for quite some time. Whatever YOU are, take another look, clench your teeth if you must, but let's all examine and see if we can all "Do it a little better".
This Thing of Ours-Adoption is a complex multi-faceted emotional Discourse that requires us to honestly see what the 'others' say and think. Remembering that not "ALL" think one way or another, Margie's voice is one of many Voices that need to be heard.
While we are at it, let's try to be CIVIL towards each other...Oh, I know, sometimes the Korean War Baby loses it, gets emotional and uses "Dramatic Hyperbole": but there is nothing personal, I simply call ideas foolish not the person a fool.
The KWB has said repeatedly that we all, yes all, need to listen to each others view, engage in civil dialogue. OKAY!!! KWB will try to be MORE CIVIL...really.
Go and read carefully "Angry Adoptive Mom". You might need a large grain of salt but hear her out, no matter what part of the Adoption Triad (Circle) you are part(s) of, we could all learn.

Thanks for the link, Don. I find myself straddling a strange fence these days, being either really REALLY angry, or just plain exhausted from trying to make a point with adoptive parents that they just don't want to see.
