Adoption needs so much reform. November is National Adoption Awarness Month, let's all be heard!
Have you ever heard of National Adoption Awareness Month? Neither have many other people, yet adoption has touched more lives than you know. In fact, there is someone you know right now who's life is involved with adoption in some way, shape or form. Adoption is still in the dark ages with so much controversy and taboo still attached. Birth Parents, Adoptees and Adoptive Parents are what is called the triad, but most of the attention adoption gets is negative about birth/first parents and adoptees. Most of the good stories revolves around the adopting parents. This event is here to raise awareness for the brave men and women who have lost a child to adoption and the adoptees that are looking for basic rights as Americans. Please, if you have been touched by adoption, join this group and spread the word so that when November comes we can all raise our voices and make some changes to a system that needs so much reform! This is not a fluff story for CNN in November, this is a way of life that needs to be changed in so many ways.

I would have adopted tons of kids! We were foster parents to drug exposed new borns when we got Ally. She was 7 weeks old, and horribly drug addicted. She screamed from day one. All day. All night. But one night in the middle of the night our eyes met. Ally looked deep into my soul. I was in love from that moment on. Her adoption was final in January 2003.
