SOMETHING TOTALLY TO PONDER!

DO OUR CHILDREN STILL BELONG TO THEIR PARENTS OR HAS THE STATE USURPED ABSOLUTE CONTROL OVER THE LIVES AND FUTURE OF OUR OWN KIDS? JUST A LOGICAL AND PRESSING QUESTION?

ABSOLUTE TRUTH AND GENUINE JUSTICE MUST ONCE AGAIN, BECOME THE AMERICAN WAY!

Personal note(s): HC it amazes me in part: I & the twins (a Boy & Girl)
were once given up for adoption through the Catholic system. Too dreadful
to discuss - what I recall about those days but - and yes it's safe to say that
the government does play a part in the issues you mentioned.
-
Note: My younger sister was raised by an Aunt and she later became a Nun.
Her twin brother and I - were shuttled around to many homes - but we
were not allowed to be together - for some ungodly reason.
-
My brother passed away not long ago from exposure to AO during Nam.
-
His twin Sister became a Catholic Nun.
-
I was shuttled to three place's before my real Mother found me.
She had since remarried to the only man - I got to really know.
-
If not for him & her - I don't know what I would've become or done?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for the care given by those who were to watch over us - it seemed
they were very cold - as they separated - us - so we could no longer be
together as we grew up. The twins found it very difficult and I could no
longer be mixed in with them - some kind of rules by the system.
(All girls in one dorm and all boy's in another dorm - was the rule).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But as you review the William & Mary Law Review the listing's vary from
religious - to the more political aspects of those who were to provide for
our welfare - and hopefully find a home eventually - for those who were
left behind to be raised by others.
-
So yes - to a degree we became part of the government system & rules and
yes - there was nothing - we could do about it. Also had interviews with those
who were thinking about adoption - but they were - also benefiting by proxy
& getting paid - so much per child - they adopted - since our parents breakup.
-
It's was a horrible system and I've never forgotten it. I would never put any
kids through that system - there's no love - there's no hope - and it breaks
my heart - to know that so many - are in such environments or institutions!
