"My name is "Adoptee" and I am a POW"

Hi everyone, again I'd like to post something from a fellow adoptee, she just knows how to say what a great many of us feel.

So here it is, and again, I post this with her permission. I have put her name and adopted name at the bottom of the article, and also the link to her blog. Check it out.

Thanks for visiting, and if you are searching, I wish you all the best in your search.

My name is "Adoptee" and I am a POW


My name is “Adoptee”And I am a POW. I am being held captive by the bureaucracy of the government of the United States of America.

Although my captors treat me politely, they do NOT treat me like a human being. While human beings are allowed to celebrate their heritage, mine is hidden from me. While human beings are allowed to know their genetic makeup, mine is hidden from me. While human beings are allowed to know their medical history, mine is hidden from me.

When I ask to have the same information as human beings, I am told I must fill out a multitude of forms and, in some cases, pay for the information on these forms. When I complete the multitude of forms and pay the ransom required, my captors decide what parts of the information I’m allowed to view and what I’m not.

While human beings of the United States of America have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, as “Adoptee”, my captors are allowed to determine which life I live, how much liberty I have in living that life, and to control my pursuit of happiness.

I beg for release from captivity. I beg for freedom. I beg to be a human being !!

My name is “Adoptee”And I am a Prisoner of the Adoption War

Uh? "Us adoptees?" I don't feel that way. Speak for yourself. Say, "This is how I feel and I'm freaking glad someone else does because I know I'm not alone in my thoughts." Don't force everyone to feel your way by lumping all of "us" together. We all feel differently and until all of "us" acknowledge that in our writing and actions, we're not going to get anywhere.

That said, I'm glad you found someone who feels like you do. It's comforting, isn't it?

This IS how I feel, and if you don't, well you are entitled to that. It is also MY blog and I can say what I want in it.

You are entitled to set up your own blog if you like, and I would be more than happy to put your link on my page. Then people can see my views and yours. Your choice.

I noticed you posted anonymously.....I didn't.

Well I've had time to think about it, and I've changed my blog. I changed it from "us adoptees" to "what a great many of us feel".

Thank you to the "Anoymous" person who brought this to my attention. You are definately right that every adoptee feels differently in their search efforts.

In my comment to "Anonymous" I was a little rude and I apologize for that.

I am still willing to put a link to any blog concerning adoption that "Anonymous" has of his/her own on my blog.
