The following quote came through a group that I belong to. It may not appeal
to "grateful adoptees" or to "adoptive parents" but I am pretty sure it will
strike a chord with any "birthmothers". Personally, I like it and that's why
I am posting it :-)

"Infertile people have no more "right" to be parents by way of adoption than
amputees have a "right" to purchase the limbs of some poor person who
happens to have all of their own, or anymore "right" than I do to the wealth
of those who have more than I."

Yes Johnny, I meant On Topic...lol! I never have been anything more than a
rebel (IF I even pay attention) when it comes to all the "rules" such as
"NAR" etc...:-) Which reminds me of another of my favorite quotes "When
someone gives you ruled paper, write the other way" LOL!
