Scott Ryser·6 hours agoOur Response to Roe v. Wade. (Kind of…)We have something constructive to share, though I’m not wading into the controversy on this one. That’s not my (public) calling. Our company doesn’t actually have a direct response to the current headlines and we’re not doing anything different than we have been all along. Likewise, I’m not making any…Roe V Wade4 min read
Vi Stasiya·1 day agoStop Using AdopteesAdoptees are not and never will be the “ace card” for pro life or pro choice people — I am speaking as an adopted person with a uterus — for the love of all things holy, stop using adoptees and the foster care system as your “trump card” when it comes to anything remotely related to abortion. Adoptees (those adopted out of orphanages, hospitals, foster care, etc.) are…Foster Care3 min read

Eric S BurdoninPurposeful Life·10 hours agoJust Adopt The Kids Isn’t A Good OptionWith the overturn of Roe v Wade, parents are flooding social media with “We’ll adopt your baby” posts. Here is why this is not a viable solution. — Living up here in Canada, I’m not seeing as many of these kinds of posts but for many Americans they do. Pictures of happy smiling couples — and maybe with a few kids by their side — holding up a sign that says “We’ll adopt your baby”. Beyond this, some…Adoption8 min read

David Stephens·1 day agoI forget I’m adopted.Occasionally I remember I’m adopted. Suddenly recalling an anonymous other family somewhere. They exist in my head only as faceless dream-people. Unknown characters who are biologically closer to me than any other human on earth. I’ve always known I was adopted, but knowing has somehow made it more forgettable. It’s…Adoption3 min read
Amy Von Blickhahn·3 days agoWhat Anti-Abortionists Get Wrong about AdoptionNo, it’s not a better, easier, alternative. It’s not an “alternative” at all — I finally have had enough. I finally truly understand that quote at the beginning of the movie, Network.
