Ruth and I have comments placed on the article. Here they are, just in case they 'disappear' from the article...

Oh for all the heavenly bodies! Can’t this woman and those like her just accept the LIFE they have and get ON WITH LIVING that life? She does this every November because it’s National Adoption Month! She does this every chance she gets because she HATES adoption. Her opinion and voice will NEVER remove ADOPTION from the human experiences.
There are MUCH more important injustices in the world, than a name change. WHY WHY WHY do they have to take up so much of their life-energy bitching about a NAME change. Oh I get it, I even UNDERSTAND IT, but this ‘battle’ doesn’t mean anything TO MANY others that have been adopted or SUPPORT adoption.
All her parents, birth and adopted, are NOW dead, so she can NAME them openly in print! How nice! Each revision of her ‘book’ contains lies about both families! How do I know? Because I found her when she was 18
and brought her BACK into the birth family; it didn’t have a happy ending! She has known who she IS since age 18, she legally changed her name, great! Now if she would just GET A LIFE and leave those who WISH to adopt alone, the world would be a better place!

I think I understand, the need to know who we are -- but this woman has 'known' who she is since 1974 -- when she was 'reunited' with us, her birth siblings. She has had 44 years to reconcile her dual identity, and come to terms with who she is as an individual.
She feels she has two identities, no, she has two sets of names, her birth name, and her adopted name. She recently legally changed her name to the name my parents gave her at birth. Okay, fine, that's her right. But deep down, does change anything about her? The style of clothes she wears, the style of music she likes, her personality??
As far as I could see, her personality didn't change back in 1974, and I don't see it has changed since she 'reclaimed' her birth name. Her 'self' didn't change. That is a different thing altogether than working towards a better, more truthful birth certificate.

for sure it's self-flicted...she loves her pain

to Tracy L. Hammond with all due respect: Baron just told you he is fine with who and what he is -- WHY do some adoptees feel the need to label adoptees such as he as misguided, when they say they are fine with their lives.
WHY do you say he bought into anything? HE says he is fine -- why can't you accept that?
NO WHERE is there any mention of a "societal mythology that if you weren't adopted you'd be: in a dumpster, living with a crack whore, dead, abused, in jail..."
WHY do some adoptees feel the need to tell others how 'uneducated' they are, and right away tell them they need to read this book, or that book?
Can't you just accept that some people (even some adoptees) might have done research, or perhaps they are content with their lives?

to Ruth Herr Sippel Pace ....thank you...well said

to Baron Von Bacchus I adopted my son via step-parent adoption, he has never had any issues...the only one that did is the author of this disgusting article, she actually violated my parental rights by interfering with my minior children. There ARE real reasons for adoption and NOT everyone is suffering before they are adopted. Both Ruth and I KNOW the author quite well...she will NEVER change for she is totally in love with her pain of being an adoptee!

to Gert Mcqueen I picked up on that pain thing....wholly unfortunate....oh well...everyone has their journey....
Gert Mcqueen
to Baron Von Bacchus the down side is that it is MY family that she lies about
(end of our comments)
But and as always when she gets resistance, from an article she has written, she enlists 'others' to help her against her nay-sayers...
Doris Michol Sippel Please go to the comment section and comment! There are two ignorant comments on there from people who do not know the depth of this issue.
Right...just because someone has a different opinion they are 'ignorant'...she sounds like 'Trump'! And whom ever did 'comment' they were ineffectual!
In any event...this article, like her, are NOT any 'event'...it's just the same old, same old!
