Bob was such a kind man and we were blessed to have him at both of our children's finalizations. You could instantly tell how much he enjoyed meeting the families and giving each little one their adoption decree. There is a lovely tribute to him on porterloring.com that I cannot provide a link to from my phone. It includes information about the memorial service on Friday and where donations can be made in Bob's memory. Praying for peace and healing for all who loved him.

Lol! I thought "heifer" may have been a typo until I got further along in the sentence. That's awesome! While I respect the viewpoints of adoptees and am interested in hearing their points of view, I often wonder how much of what they feel and think has to do with being adopted and how much is due to positive or negatives experiences in their adoptive families, relationships with birth families and just their life experiences in general. What one adoptee may not think twice about may be very painful to another. We all walk on our own path.

I liked your soapbox, Ellen... stay on it for as long as you'd like! I agree! Thanks for giving us your perspective, Ellen!

I'm relieved that I'm not the only person who felt this way. When parents choose to place, it's not always about the money, and that's okay. When people make statements that adoptions shouldn't happen, I'm not sure they consider that they're, in a way, judging birth parents who placed because they didn't feel they could parent well, or perhaps did not want to parent. I know a few couples who had to raise funds to adopt because on their salaries, it would have taken many years to save the tens of thousands of dollars in fees that they would have needed to pay in a short amount of time. One couple tried adopting through foster care but after 3 years, they were getting no where with trying to adopt a child under age 5. I agree that adoption fees should be regulated. Adoption should not be a for-profit business. If the author feels this strongly about the money exchanged in adoptions, I wonder whether she is focusing any energy on changing the laws?

We felt the same way. It was a more relaxed wait. Maybe if it had gone on a long time, we would have started to feel differently, but it was nice to not feel the strong sense of urgency and anxiety over when it would all happen right off the bat. Sounds like my kind of therapy!
