I take it as a personal duty to piss off those on all sides of adoption who
can not see the bigger picture, as I'm sure does Dad and all the old timers
here. That's why I keep coming back, cut through the crap and it's still the
best adoption forum on the internet. No one owns it, no one controls it, I
wish more people would find it
f.ck MSN, f.ck Yahoo and especially f.ck Adoption.com
I just wish Google hadn't hijacked Usenet and made it so difficult to find a
reliable free NNTP server
My reputation spreads,

Just a shame they can't show both sides of the argument in the material they
nicked from here and include my full name a few more times

Oh wow.' Infamy! Infamy! They've all got it infamy!' (I mean for
you ;-)
Ah well. Given they're unable to recognize even the remotest
possibility that there might conceivably be any side other than their
own, I guess it's not surprising.
Nuts.

From the link you supplied:
"He claims that the state benefits available to unmarried mothers were
insufficient to survive on with a baby. Yet, widowed mothers received
the same state benefits and there are no reports that they placed
their children for adoption."
From this article (great site, by the way)
http://www.historyandpolicy.org/papers/policy-paper-48.html
"The post-war welfare state has always dealt with widows and divorced
or separated women more sympathetically than unmarried mothers, though
they shared many of the same characteristics of poverty. Widows
remained eligible for pensions and supplementary assistance from the
Poor Law and after 1948 from National Assistance, while other lone
mothers remained dependent on National Assistance, later Supplementary
Benefit, or charity if they received no maintenance."

Thanks Kippa, I've popped that on the blog
http://adoptionopenrecord.blogspot.com/
I'm awaiting a reaction from Patricia Basquill, 'Trackers International' and
'Forgotten Mothers'
Affiliated with Origins Inc., Origins Canada and Origins USA so they claim
http://www.uktrackers.co.uk/ti_int.htm
Not a good advertisement for Origins I would have thought
