melissamerritt 254 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Ugghh! Sadly most people outside of the adoption world will think that is funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Monica281 457 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Not funny at all, I am not sure when people are going to realize that "joking" about adopting or placing a child isn't and never will be funny. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elly_mae 307 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm both infuriated and unbelievably saddened by this. I know I don't have to explain why this burns me as a birth mom so I will spare the nitty gritty details. My eyes teared up and my stomach dropped upon reading this.

Shawn and Jennifer 27 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) SF qb Colin Kaepernick is adopted. Found this article on SI. http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/story?storyId=8897116. Very sad that he has chosen to not contact his birthparents. Hopefully one day he will. Thankful for abrazo and open adoption. Edited February 4, 2013 by Shawn and Jennifer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jane Fonda is the adoptive mother of a now-grown woman who quietly joined her family as a disadvantaged teenager: http://www.oprah.com...ological-Family. Watched the interview with Jane's daughter last night on the TV network OWN (Oprah). She showed her birthmom and how she has reunited with many of her family members. She is very well spoken and Janes kept refering to her as her "miracle"......who knew!? But, she has written a book about growing up & growing up as Jane's daughter. Great interview with Oprah!

fran.c.didonato 126 Posted May 17, 2014 Report Share Posted May 17, 2014 (edited) Ok, I haven't read this entire thread. But I'm watching the program about Barbara Walters and did not realize that her daughter was adopted and that Hugh Jackman's two children are adoptees too. Who knew? Probably most of you Edited May 17, 2014 by fran.c.didonato Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TexasFamily 190 Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 I believe that Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, are big advocates of adoption here and in Australia. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
