Poll: Natural/first parents only -- which term do you prefer?
If you are a natural mother and have a Yahoo account, please head over and vote on terms for what best describes your experience:
"My child was...
... stolen for adoption."
... taken for adoption."
... lost to adoption."
... surrendered."
... relinquished."
... placed."
etc ...
Comments:
i checked this morning with the asker and the question had been deleted due to the ""Violation Reason" of being "Not a Question or Answer." It is being appealed. My guess is that an adoptive parent on the board disliked the question and reported it as a violation. Natural parents often have their questions reported and deleted so as to silence them. Again, just like when we lost our children, we're expected to shut up and put up with it, to go away and behave ourselves and not complain.
It's still not up again, and another mother told me that anything that impunes adoption is removed from there if someone "reports" it as being "in violation". Whereas, pro-adoption stuff that slams natural moms as irresponsible child-abuser sluts who-had-it-coming-to-them never gets removed. Oh well, discrimination against us is alive and well, obviously. :(

I tried to answer. The question has been deleted. I would have answered "lost".
