HALLOWEEN WITH THE ADDAMS FAMILY AND...

...Don Rickles.

ADOPTION.COM: YOUR UNPLANNED PREGNANCY OPTIONS

Just got the adoption.com National Adoption Awareness Month newsletter which includes: Your Unplanned Pregnancy: You Have Options.

We wonder what those options might be since the article is written under the aegis of National Adoption Awareness Month, is sponsored by Bethany Christian Services, doesn't mention abortion or keeping, and is followed by a group listing of squeaky smiling multi-cultural paps on the prowl.

Thanks to all for the bronchitis tips! I'm feeling much better, and am making a public vow to post a blog each day, no matter how stupid, for our celebratory month.

RECOMMENDED BLOG: SECRETS, LIES, AND FAMILY TIES)

Bastardette is well into Week 2 of bronchitis. Since I don't do doctors, I'm toughing it out. I'm getting better, but I just don't feel like doing much. I have several blogs in the oven, and need to bake them up.

In the meantime, I'm passing on an entry I read last night, Secrets, Lies, and Family Ties from Always Musing, which interestingly, is not an adoption blog. Blogger Cathy Voisard and I are members of She Writes, a social network for women writers you might want to check out if you're serious about your writing.

Cathy's story is a twisted version of the LDA narrative. She and her older sister were reared to believe that their biological brother was their uncle, but that's just the tip.

Here's how her story begins

I didn’t know I had a brother until I was thirteen years old.

It wasn’t like my brother was some alien kin who had been shipped off to adoptive parents for financial or other reasons; some stranger that I never knew. I grew up with my brother. I had lived with him in the same house until I was 6, which, at the age of 13, was about half of my life. And when my mother remarried and we no longer shared a home with him, he was still my constant companion.

They just lied about his identity.

See, her brother/uncle had been conceived by their parents before Cathy's birth, for the sole purpose of being adopted by Cathy's maternal grandmother and her new 20-years younger studly husband. (Grandma's first choice was Cathy's sister, but her parents refused to give her up!) It's headache inducing for sure, but there's more

Cathy's father, as the upshot of the surrogacy left his family before Cathy was born. (While family abandonment should never be encouraged, we can't blame him for running away from this naggy family dynamic.)

Cathy's brother/uncle, though he knew he was adopted (but only by accident), had no idea that his adoptive mother was really his bio grandmother, his adoptive sister was really his bio mother, and his adopitve nieces were really his bio sisters until he was an adult. Of course, Cathy and her sister, after they learned about this convoluted mess, were vowed to silence by their mother. As you can imagine, the brother/uncle was not happy when he learned his entire life was a lie perpetrated by people who are supposed to love him (though Cathy doesn't say it that way).

Near the end of her entry Cathy writes:

My brother used to laugh easily; his eyes crinkling in an adorable way that always made me smile. But after he learned the truth, I never saw him laugh as easily again. Certainly he still teases, and still makes jokes. But I can always see the shadow in his eyes; a darkness and melancholy that first appeared the evening he learned the truth.

No matter how often I hear these over-under-sideways-down stories, I cannot get accustomed to how easily adults and their state-actors dismiss the result of their secret, identity stripping its-all-about-me social engineering schemes. Those end results--us--are the ultimate abstraction of their "reproductive " therapy.

If it feels good, so it!

Sidenote: We also thrilled to Cathy's account her 13-year old self making contact with her missing father.

POUND PUP LEGACY: MASHA ALLEN UPDATE

Niels at Pound Pup Legacy has put up a tremendous page on Masha Allen. The page is a 1-stop resource for activists, researchers, adoption reformers, and media who have been following the case. I was aware of some of these new developments, but hadn't had the time to write about them. Other developments are new to me.

Kudos to Niels--and those who continue to care about Masha and continue to fight!

And may those "adoption professionals," child welfare "experts" and courts who betrayed Masha burn in hell.

ROMANIA: SEARCH A CHILD, PAY CASH

Thanks for Faux Claud for posting this link on Facebook

Search a Child, Pay Cash is a German TV documentary on Romanian adoption corruption, the adoption industry globalist lobby, diplomatic ball busting, and the work of EU investigator Roelie Post. It's important. It's sickening.

Here is Post's blog: For Export Only

The film needs no comment from me. The sound on Part 4 is tanked, but the English subtitles make the problem minimal.

NATIONAL ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH RAMP-UP

National Adoption Awareness Month will soon be upon us. We can hardly wait for mainstream media to gag their cotton candy down our throats.

Our not-favorite adoption site, adoption.com, has jump-started the party with a big spread. We are particularly intrigued by The National Adoption Month Activities Calendar and its nifty suggestions on how to celebrate this fun-filled month with our families.

Did you know, for instance, that National Adoption Month is a swell time to cook a meal for your family? (November 1). I didn't.

That on November 16 you should prepare a meal that reflects your child's heritage? My friend Rocco suggested a possum and squirrel casserole--stringy but elegant. I was thinking more along the lines of ramen noodles and hot dogs. Whatever menu is chosen, though, it must be prepared on a hotplate to remind your little adoptees what they escaped via God and your bank account.

Or how about renting an adoption themed movie? (November 20) I like that. I suggest Natural Enemy or Orphan. Our classic movie fans may enjoy The Bad Seed or Penny Serenade

Thanksgiving is for sending thank you notes to those who made your celebration possible: You know, like your adoption agent, your judge, your bankster, and especially your "birthmother" for her selfless hefty donation to your cause.

On November 28 we're told to write a letter to our local paper regarding our pet issue. Not a bad suggestion. For years, Bastardette has vowed to write an op ed for the Columbus Dispatch over sealed records. Frankly, boredom has taken over each time. How does one write a 300 word essay on the subject without breaking rules of nice talk? Perhaps we shall try again this year. Or maybe we'll just send in a page of **%@##@ s and let it go at that.

Bonus: Here's an entire hour of adoption blather courtesy of the James Gang show on KCOL Fox News Radio in Greeley, Colorado that makes NCFA look like Bastard Nation. (Scroll down to 11/16/07 and click on "listen." It's somewhat broken up in separate links and you]ll probably have to slog through other talk first or after or in between.) The show features segments with an adoptajunkie, who has has 2 bios and 28 adopted kids (age 3 - 38 years) and with 6 family members operates ACC Adoptions (not the American Adoption Congress), a Nightline embryo adoption snowflake pimp, and adoption.com nazi Nathan Gwilliam.

COLUMBUS LIFE CHAIN: ANOTHER BIG YAWN

I'm cross-posting this entry from my latest Theoconia blog since the subject matter relates to adoption.

*****

It's that time again!

The annual Life Chain protest, aka the most boring anti-abortion protest in Columbus was held late this afternoon at the Ohio Statehouse. (October 7, 2009) The event was sponsored by Columbus Right to Life.

I've written about Life Chain before ( on Theoconia, go to the "Topics, People and Organizations Covered" sidebar on the right and click on "Life Chain Columbus" and "Life Chain National" for previous posts.) My October 13 2006 "Kool Aid" post details Life Chain history, and mission in relation to Columbus-based Mark Harrington-CBR Genocide Awareness ideology and actions. (For some reason my pictures for that entry have disappeared, though they are still embedded in my entry.)

This year, due to the temperate weather, rather than mingle with the crowd, I situated myself at an outside table at Pot Belly directly across from the Statehouse, where I could do a 3-fer: enjoy a late lunch, read a book, and watch LifeChain from a comfortable distance. It's not like anything much interesting would happen.

As usual, the protest started late and no one seemed to pay the protesters much heed, even at full staff-- about 50-60 soccer mom and retiree types and a few little kids--down from about twice that number three years ago. Life Chain, you see, eschews speakers, bloody blender baybee bits blow-ups, and hand-outs.

I don't know why, but the fat priest, the angry nun, and the big whomping crucifix are no longer a Life Chain feature. The formerly ubiquitous "Adoption a Loving Option" signs were absent save one held by a man standing near the High and State Street end. Perhaps local Life Chain management understands that adoption--at least the healthy white infant type it promotes--is economically unfeasible for its constituency in a tanked economy.

Usually an all-white protest, this year's vigil featured two black male teenage holding "Abortion Kills Children" signs on the corner of Broad and High. They stood out. Especially when they sneaked to the curb and did a little quite-unlike-Life Chain dance followed-up shortly by two shouts about 10 seconds apart: "Punk Bitch!" Now that made me shut my book momentarily. Who and where the epithet came from remains a mystery. Unfortunately, traffic got in the way and I couldn't get any pictures. Shortly afterward the two disappeared permanently behind a string of buses that pulled up to the Statehouse to pick up rush hour passengers.

Early on, a man walking by my table looked over at me and said, "People across the street Awful." I don't know if I'd call them"awful" except as an adjective: ineffective, lackluster, dull, pointless, boring.

Life Chain is supposed to be a "silent witness" to raise abortion opposition awareness. Yesterday, it elicited nothing more than a big yawn. Not even CBR "truth trucks,"which in the past have glommed off Life Chain, bothered to show up.

ADOPT A LIBERAL

NEWS FLASH! If you've been turned down by your local adoption mill, don't despair. Liberty Council (Restoring the culture one case at a time by advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life, and the traditional family) has a deal for you!

ADOPT A LIBERAL

Here's how it works

Pick one or more of the liberals from the list we have posted online at www.LC.org, or choose your own liberal(s) to adopt. If you are led to choose one or more of the liberals we have selected for consideration, please read their brief biographical statement, including the reasons they stand in need of prayer.

Pray earnestly and intensely for them! Pray that the Lord would move upon them and cause them to be the kind of leaders who will encourage others to lead "a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." We encourage you to seek the Lord's guidance on how to pray for your liberal(s), always allowing Him to temper your prayer with His love and mercy.

Liberals up for adoption include : President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Congressman Barney Frank, Science Czar John Holdren, Senator Olympia Snowe, Barry Lynn, and others. There is even and “Unknown Liberal” option, which allows you to pray for a liberal of your choice.

We are especially happy with the Unknown Liberal option, for those who want complete anonymity and safety in their adoption plan and nobody showing up on your doorstep to try to take your born again conservative back to trailer park or dope den.

Pix and Bios are on the Adopt a Liberal homepage. See the press release for more information.

BTW, here is a picture of my own little Arnold Bastardette. He's minemimemine forever, and if you ever tell him he's adopted, you'll have to deal with me...and you don't want to do that. Just ask NCFA.

ARIZONA: MORE "SAFE HAVEN" FANTASY; BLC LINK

I've been falling down on the job again. I'll have a major blog up (hopefully today, but I'm not sure) and get back in the saddle again, as Gene Autry once sang.

In the meantime, I suggest you check out Baby Love Child's new entry, Unsafe haven: Dead baby found inside hospital, “about 100 feet” from the hospital’s dumpbox:

For those who insist a “safe haven” babydump box in every hospital would ensure their mythical ‘no dead babies,’ think again.

Case in point?

Glendale, AZ, where a 15 year old gave birth in the hospital bathroom, leaving a baby boy in the bathroom trash can, “about 100 feet from a Safe Haven” dumpbox.

Then, from the news story itself:

Glendale police are investigating a baby found dead in a hospital, allegedly in a trash can. The baby was found on Saturday in the emergency room at Banner Thunderbird Hospital, only about 100 feet from a Safe Haven drop-off location. A teen went to the emergency room with her mother complaining of stomach and back pains.

BLC has visited the Banner Thunderbird Hospital and posts her personal pictures of the dumpbox on her blog.

Also check out the bizarre but important propaganda video that accompanies the news story, linked in BLC's entry.

Watch Kimberly Marshall, who is not a physician as labeled in the news report , but the RN who manages the hospital's Pediatric Ed Clinic, demonstrate how to lickety-split dump an anonymous baby into the hospital deposit box. Listen to Marshall, lecture mindlessly that the tragedy could have been avoided if the 15-year old mom had dropped the baby into the dump box. Instead of...what? She was at the freaking ER with her mother for Pete's sake!

Apparently in MarshallWorld, this is how the affair should have played out:

Teen in labor, who may be in deep denial she's pregnant, goes to the ER, accompanied by mother, for treatment of severe stomach pain. Gives "surprise" birth in bathroom while waiting to see doctor. Walks out bloody, with bloody (dead?) baby wrapped in toilet paper, unnoticed by her mother and others, deposits package in nearby dumpbox, and goes home, miraculously free of pain.

Maybe Kim Marshall slept through Logic 101. Or maybe there's more.

Ignored by the press, at least in this specific report, is the fact is Kimberly Marshall is the head of the Arizona Safe Baby Haven Coalition pimping tragedy to pimp her agenda. (See above link to her name for more background)

Yesterday, a similar case (sans the dumpbox) was reported in Warner Robbins, Georgia, though no suspect has been questioned yet.

In 2008. Genny Grandanos, waiting to see a doctor for treatment of stomach pains, gave birth in the lobby restroom at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital in Houston, Texas and left the baby in a trash bin

Several years ago a Michigan teen also delivered and dumped in an ER. (I don't have time to check the reference right now.)

There may be more.
