Patricia Savol - 12 Feb 2007 20:48 GMT I was just wondering if there were any birth mothers, or birth parents in this group, or if anyone knew where the news groups for birth parents are?

There's even a few first moms, natural moms, and original moms. But I think there are more adoptees and adoptive parents than birthparents. We could sure use another birthmom... you wouldn't be in your final trimester by any chance, would you? < evil snicker >

I won't be phoning. Just an idea, you might think of getting yourself a 1-800 # number for a better response.

Patricia Savol - 13 Feb 2007 04:14 GMT no, im not, lol
Im a proud birth mother of a soon to be 4 month old son, who was adopted by a wonderful couple that i spent 7 months getting very close to!
We are like best friends now, and im going for my third visit the first weekend of March.
My phone is always added to the end of my e-mails because i sell Avon, and use this account to contect all my customers, LOL

I'm glad things are going well for you so far. I always thought open adoption was a two edged sword. Do you have any second thoughts re- your decision to relinquish at the time of your visits?

Patricia Savol - 13 Feb 2007 13:49 GMT never!
I love the, like sisters, and i know i couldnt handle the situation of having another child in my home. I am so happy when i see them, because i see thats my bSon is in a loving home with two wonderful parents! My daughter goes with me on my visits, and it trully is like visiting family in another town.
Their daughter and my daughter are play mates and they have a wonderful time together. his parents also let me help care for him while im there; feeding him, calming him when he fusses, and holding him almost the entire time im there.
They trully understand the bond between a mother and a child, and they are committed to letting me be part of his life, because they know he and I share a bond with him that they dont. But on the other hand, I also know, THEY share a bond with him i never will, and i respect that, and put that before my own needs and wants.
Its all about whats best for the child, and i trust and believe that they will make decisions that are best for my son. And even if that means they feel the need to stop visits and contact; i will trust them, and support them in any decison they make. I chose them because i know they were wonderful Christians with hearts of Gold; i knew that all the decisions they would be made for the best interest of my bSon.
I was trully blessed when i met them, and i have to say, they are two of God true angels

All or some of the above. Take your pick.
Of course, should she resist Di's Kool-Aid, she would be branded an uncaring mother who would give away their own flesh and blood without even batting an eye. We've seen that little tactic many times over here on this newsgroup.

I am DAMN proud of the choices i made. I KNOW his parents are wonderful epople, and they are givin him everything i cant. I trust and understand ANY choices they make as a parent, becaus ei have a son and a daughter at home with me...
I will never regret the things i have done, because i did them out of love for my son...OUR son! Up untill 2 hours befor signing the surrendor papers, "H" told me she knew how much i loved him, and if i had changed my mind, to please, follow my heart, and do what i felt was best, even of that ment taking my son, and bringing him to my home. and "R" was nothing but supportive through the whole process. Smiling at the unltrasounds, and laughing when she heard our sons heart beat.
Since i was 9 weeks pregnant, i vowed to give my son the best life i coudl possible give him, even if it ment surrendoring him to another home.
I chose this home, and I chose his parents, and I made this decision to give him a better life.
I realise that there may be some inside jokes, and im not trying to come off as a bitch, but us birth mothers go through just as much as the couples who are unable to concieve a child on their own...
You have suffered the feeling of not being able to carry a child to love... we have suffered the feeling of carrying a child we love, but not be able to take care of him/her... You have prayed for a child to fill your home will laughter... We have prayed for a home our child cam grow up smiling in.... You have prayed every night for God to send you the child that you can love... We have prayed every night for God to send us the right family to love our child...

> I realise that there may be some inside jokes, and im not trying to come off > as a bitch, but us birth mothers go through just as much as the couples who > are unable to concieve a child on their own... Actually, I think the pain of giving up a child is greater than that of couples who can't conceive. Big whoop - like some kid needs my particular genes anyway. And my wife's genes - there's mental illness up and down her family tree. Besides, the wife thinks giving birth is highly over rated, all that pain and blood and stuff. I happen to agree with her. I have two kidlets, and I have never changed a single diaper. How cool is that!
> You have suffered the feeling of not being able to carry a child to love... > we have suffered the feeling of carrying a child we love, but not be able to > take care of him/her... > You have prayed for a child to fill your home will laughter... Laughter? I have two teenagers - I'd settle for a brief periods of sanity. Nuff said.
> We have prayed for a home our child cam grow up smiling in.... > You have prayed every night for God to send you the child that you can > love... > We have prayed every night for God to send us the right family to love our > child... It wasn't that dramatic for us. No late night prayers. No gnashing of teeth. No infertility treatments. And frankly, after 13+ years of this parenting thingee, the empty nest light at the end of the tunnel looks rather inviting.
I think you've misjudged some of the comments so far.

<<< From: Bitter Harvest Sent: 2/14/2007 8:25 PM ......One of the reasons adoptive parents invest more is that they really want children, and they go to extraordinary means to have them," says Indiana University sociologist Brian Powell, one of the study's authors.
Yeah like cutting the baby out of their mothers wombs while the mother is still alive. Lots of stories lilkle this in the US. A common "private adoption" arrangement. Pscyhos make wonderful parents. >>>

I am a birth mother, who loves all of her children very mcuh. But as i know things can be hard, because of friends i have who have placed, i simply decided to reach out to find all available resources to help me in the hard times to come, instead of waiting till im drownding in 10 feet of tears, unable to scream for help...
I may be a birth mother, but im not stupid, nieve, or retadred when it comes to knowign when to find help, and when to have help on call.
Perhaps i came to the wrong place...

It has forums for birthparents, adoptees, and adoptive parents. It is moderated, which means that there are rules about what can be posted there and what can't. Some people prefer that, others don't.
(This newsgroup has no rules at all, which attracts some of us and appalls others.)

Patricia Savol - 16 Feb 2007 15:50 GMT I know about a lot of sites. but the thing is, no matter what the case may be, or who the person is... a birth mother, a person suffering from depression, a person with a physical handicap, etc.
Its always good to look around, and find out the different places that offer support, discussion, or where other people like you may be.
Im not at all upset i came to this place, because i get every view point in here. If i agree with it, fine, if not, even better. Because it helps me to understand those who DONT think like me.
And yes, i may have gotten angry at the first few comments to my post, but i realise that, not everyone thinks the way i do, and not everyone feels the way i do. Im glad my life has turned out this way, because i have learned a lot of things. But its not fair for me to say my way is right, and no one elses is. And i just hope all of you feel that way as well...

I am a real person, with real feelings, with read sadness of the loss of my child, with real love for the children i am raising at home, and with real conviction of what Gods love can do when i needed him most. I've openly spoke to PAP's, and other Birth moms... and if there is one thing all of us birth mothers can agree on, its that we coudl use a little more support from the adoptive parents, because reguardless of what you may think... if you are adoptinbg our children... we are GIVING you that oppertunity.
We arent whores, or druggie son the street who dump our children in cans...
we are women, who stand stong, and admit our faults, and willinging relinquish our child to someone who can love them, just like us, and who can give them a home, that we wish we coudl supply for them....
We are peopel too Damn it, and making a joke out of it, or thinking this is our fault, and we have to deal with it, is bullshit...
If you want to blame us, and point a finger at us, and tell us how bed of people we are, we coudl turn around and do the same thing, by pointing at you and saying God wont let you have children, becaus eyou are not capable of unconditional love...
I ask you all to think of your daughters you have now, or may adopt in the future, and think of what woudl happen if they were raped, but couldnt bare to keep the child....
Woudl you want her to kill the baby, or let it be raised by a mother who can look at the child and see her child, the child she loves... instead of your daughter seeing the man who raped her....

This is one tough, in your face bunch. But I like it! I like it!
Ms. Savol, yes, do lurk for awhile. Read some of the former discussions from Google and then you'll come away with an understanding of what alt.adoption is about.
alt.adoption at keeps me grounded as an greedy, desperate AMom. (Not desperate enough, however to cut a baby from somebody's womb - Lord, where does that horrible impetus come from).

Patricia Savol - 16 Feb 2007 15:53 GMT and being a touch in your face bunch is fine. People have the right to speak their mind.
But others should also have the right to rebuttal their option.
Do you mind if I ask what you meant by being a greedy AMom? And if you have children, adopted or not, your a Mom, not an AMom... but that's just my feelings

Daniel and Elizabeth Case - 18 Feb 2007 15:23 GMT Ms Savol:
"Greedy AMom" I'm being sarcastic. Many times a PAP woman is portrayed in the media (print, t.v.) as "desperate". I extend the desparation into "greed", again, sarcastically.
My husband and I are our son's parents - Mom & Dad. No doubt about that!
Robyn: Thank you for your kind words about the filth and the fury website. It's not really all about Cyril, but what horrible agency we used for our adoptions and the fact the United States international adoption industry has allowed to go on as long as it has.

If you truly believe that relinquishing your son was the best thing for him under whatever the circumstances were for you, then your decision deserves respect. But you might consider the possibility that other mothers who don't feel quite so gung-ho about having lost their kids to adoption find the "Hallelujuah, I'm a birth mom" stuff like totally annoying.

I wish you could have kept your kids too. I'm sorry you couldn't. Are you sure you weren't directed here by the Borg?

I don't know why you seem to think that everyone who adopts is infertile. Or, if they are, it's because God's pissed at them. Any more than I think it is God's will that children are removed from their original families and adopted into others. I guess that's a fundamental difference between us.

Maybe Mz. Savol will someday realize none of us need anyone speaking for us as though they had the pipeline to God. I sure would not speak for her.

God's Plan
by Patricia Savol
I looked you over from top to bottom,
The first thing I wondered was,
"Where did you come from?"
I saw your eyes, fingers and toes,
And oh how I cried when I kissed your nose.
I spent three days looking you over,
I never wanted to forget the way you looked.
And as I held you for the last time,
I prayed that it would only be the first.
I don't have much to give you son,
But if love could support you;
Well, I have that by the ton!
But never forget I did this out of love,
And gave you to the angels God sent from above.
Two mothers who love you,
More then the world itself,
Two mothers who place you and your sister on a shelve.
So when the time comes when you ask the question "why?",
Just remember I loved you first, and will till the day I die.
But this was Gods plan,
And has been all along.
Before you even came to me,
He put Us in a song.
"From Gods arms to My arms to yours",
He created us for a reason,
And he has opened many doors.
So when your Mama kisses you,
And when your Mommy hugs you tight,
Know that I have picked them,
Because I love you twice as much,
when we are both crying at night.

I got the clear impression you found her poem nauseating, since you posted it for public ridicule. You're not a "birthmom buddy" and you've made that abundantly clear. Please correct me if I'm mistaken.

When have I ever stated that adoption was god's will - or even a matter of fate? And why would you think so now?

> I, and many other bmoms, don't want anyone with her mindset talking for us. Strange, I didn't think she was speaking for you or anyone else for that matter. It is interesting that you seem to speak for "many other bmoms" though.
She's got a sappy, sugar-coated, romantic view of adoption. OK, I find it less nauseating than you do. What's the mystery?

> I don't read any bmom support groups. > I don't post to any bmom support group You're kidding me! Seriously though, I'm not sure why Patricia would actually need to come here (of all places) to get this info. Especially as she's already a birth mom bud. I'd have thought surely her other bmbuds would have been able to give her any and all of the info she was looking for.
