ADOPTION AND ITS FOOTSTOOL: ILLINOIS ADOPTEES IN THE NEWS
http://amyadoptee.blogspot.com/2009/01/illinois-adoptees-in-news.html
ADOPTION AND ITS FOOTSTOOL. This is a blog about an adoptee and the hurdles that she faces. Life is always interesting. Saturday, January 03, 2009. ILLINOIS ADOPTEES IN THE NEWS. I thought about this. I really did. Something that blows my mind is that the legislators actually listen to this privacy issue. How can someone get new rights? How can parents control a document that belongs to their child especially when that child become an adult? You can read the interesting details here. Here is the link.

Finding Jane Doe: December 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Monday, December 27, 2010. Cross-posted from Over A Candle. Ronni and I hadn't been sure where we would spend Christmas this year. We toyed with the idea of staying home. In the end, we opted to visit my biological family in Missouri. All of this confirms my initial opinion: I hate Chicago. If I never fly through O'Hare again, it will be too soon. I don't know why I thought this would be any d...The s...

Finding Jane Doe: July 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Spending time with my fellow adoptees the past few days was amazing. It's hard to know, even, how to explain it to someone else. Being around people who get it, really truly get it, is so freeing and validating. It allows me to be myself in a way that I don't often get to be. I don't want to feel that way around other adoptees. And I did feel more comfortable around them th...

Finding Jane Doe: May 2010

Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Wednesday, May 19, 2010. They Won't Like Me. Being friends with my biological brothers (my father's sons) on Facebook has at least one serious drawback: I'm almost certain they won't like me. Hell, much of the time, I don't like myself. How can I expect people who seem to think some of my views are downright un-American to like me? Links to this post. Tuesday, May 4, 2010. Last Friday I attended a ser...

Finding Jane Doe: April 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Monday, April 26, 2010. I'm still struggling with the invitation to go the my father's family reunion. The end of the semester has been keeping me well occupied, so I haven't actually dealt with anything. I have arranged my summer travel so that I can go if I want to. And I do want to. I know that much about myself. I want to go. Curiosity, in the end, outweighs all the other hard feelings. The two gu...

Finding Jane Doe: Parents Have Little Effect?
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2011/04/reasons-for-parents-to-enjoy-having.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Friday, April 22, 2011. Parents Have Little Effect? I wrote about this on Over A Candle. But there was more I wanted to point out that was specifically adoption related. I can't help but wonder how different people would react to that? Would most adoptees say "duh"? Would adoptive parents balk or agree? Would adoption advocates be outraged? I don't know. This early in the morning, I don't even kno...

Finding Jane Doe: March 2010
http://adultadoptees.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Two adult adoptees talking about their experiences with adoption and searching for their first families. Monday, March 8, 2010. So I called my adoptive mom yesterday. I explained how busy I had been and had lost track of time. I apologized for missing her birthday, and she seemed okay with it. Who knows if she really accepted my apology. I don't. But she seemed to. I expressed my understanding that you want to be with family to celebrate special occasions. I almost said something else, something to make ...
