"Neither Here Nor There..."

Words spoken during my search as an adult adoptee...meaning, (figuratively or literally) to be caught between two points or locations. Idiomatically, it means having no significance or influence on the question at hand.

My Thoughts On...

adoptee access adoptee issues adoption loss adoption reform ethics in adoption first mothers God and adoption Healing mothers my reunion Oklahoma Adoption open records poetry prematurity Primal Wound
"...If Moses' cultural and family history had been expunged by his adoption into Pharoah's household, how would he have known who he was to fulfill God's call to lead the Isrealites out of slavery?
The church must take the lead in calling for truth and ethics in adoption, including adoptee's right to birth identity."

"In June 2009, the U.S. Senate issued an apology for government-enforced segregation, including an acknowledgement that African-Americans were 'humiliated, dehumanized, and subjected to the indignity of being *stripped of their names and heritage*".. It begs the question: What part of depriving America's adoptees of their names and heritage do people refuse to acknowledge? ~ Priscilla Sharp ~

"Regrettably, in many cases, the emphasis has changed from the desire to provide a needy child with a home, to that of providing a needy parent with a child. As a result, a whole industry has grown, generating millions of dollars of revenue each year..." Commission on Human Rights, resolution 2002

"Adoption is not a "loving choice"...it is an act of desperation." ~ Hanne Andersen

"Those who do not have power
over the story that dominates their lives,
power to retell it,
deconstruct it,
joke about it,
and change it as time changes,
truly are powerless,
because they cannot think new thoughts."
--Solomon Rushdie--
