One day, when these children know
their mother gave up everything in her fight to be with them, they will face
a second loss - one driven by anger at their adoptive parents for
taking them from a mother who loved them. It is inevitable that they will feel confused and have trust or abandonment issues.
Even the courts are ignoring my attempts to continue visitation as agreed upon in a contractmy consent was contingent upon. I have been thwarted since day one and the rights of Tyler and Holly are being ignored.
No matter how much they want and can love a child, most adopters are blind to the child’s pain of separation. This does not make for good parents. Think, for a moment, how you would feel if you were expected to join in the "celebration" as everyone dances on your mother's grave. J. Rist
This is the reason adoption
is being discouraged in other countries. Given a little support,
which is the role of social service organizations and families,
many of these families can be preserved and the parents can successfully and happily raise a secure
child into a productive adult.
My
twins, Tyler and Holly, are more important to me than anything else in
the world. I have lost everything fighting to bring them home. Nothing
will take
away my desire to be a mother to my precious children. I
nearly died twice giving them life, and we have a bond that will never be broken. It is in the best interests of my twins that they are reunited with their natural mother. This is as God intended.
HOLLY & TYLER HAVE A CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT
TO BE WITH THEIR MOTHER, ALLISON.
"Ninety percent of the women we see ... feel
they were completely and totally violated when they surrendered
the rights of their children," said Sheri
Sexton, director of the Ontario branch of Origins Canada, an advocacy
group for mothers who lost children through adoption.
Even the higher courts, who are held accountable for their rulings, agree that adoption practices are unethical, and that prospective adoptive families should not be given constitutional protection for their intended relationship.
Prospective adoptive parent's
interest in the child he wishes to adopt does not rise to level of fundamental
liberty interest entitled to substantive protection of due process clause.

The courts have even ruled that the act of giving a child to a stranger in an adoption is a violent act. My family's rights have been violated, and the damage is enormous. I pray over and over everyday that this nightmare will end.
Although it is true that a parent's rights are important, so are the child's rights. As our supreme court said in Padgett v. Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services, 577 So.2d 565, 570 (Fla.1991), a child also has a fundamental liberty interest in being free from physical and emotional violence, and being
given away to strangers is a pretty emotionally violent act. It might not be such a bad thing if the courts of this state let parents know that children are not just property to which parents have rights, but persons to whom they owe a sacred trust.
