Economy, business and... adoption?

Has the economy affected businesses in such a way that slander and personal attacks on another have become necessary? When did it become acceptable for a business to dig up, and post online, information about someone’s past so deeply emotional and personal? Is that business struggling so much that morals, ethics and common decency be tossed aside?

The personal information I write about is giving my newborn baby a chance at a better life. As my family and friends know, at the age of 17, I chose to give my newborn son up for adoption. No, it was not an easy decision and I still think of him every day praying his life is better than I would have been able to provide. I am proud of myself and am so grateful for the love and support my family has given me over the years.

Never once in the 25 years since the adoption did I ever think that someone might be so malicious as to use this information to attack me. How can anyone justiify this behavior…to send me such ugly accusatory emails about the decision I made? And then, to spread this “news” for the past few months as if the topic is mere office gossip. How deperate can anyone be for business that the thought of doing this would even enter their mind?

 I am grateful that years ago I discussed this openly with my children; that they didn’t have to learn about this part of my life as I was being “stalked” on line by another business.

To the person which claims to be a specialist in romance; I can only hope you are as at peace with your choices and decisions as I am with mine.



To give a child of any age up for adoption is without question, one of the most challenging decisions anyone could make. My heart goes out to everyone ever touched by adoption. To the families and adopting parents, thank you for loving.  To those women and men which will be forever known as the "birth mother and birth father", thank you for your gift.
