My moms separated after 25 years of marriage and both remarried other women, so I am positively overflowing with moms, but Linda was my birthmother. I’m honored to have inherited even a fraction of her brains & creativity.

My birthmother promised again and again that she'd given up smoking, in handwritten letters that smelled like ashtrays. Then she died of COPD.

Germany's Neo Nazi AfD party is not neutral when it comes to the Ukraine war. It backs the Kremlin, unambiguously. And that's because the Kremlin is its birthmother and continues to be its lifeline of economic support.

That is lovely.
When my birthmother died, we handed out little bags of pink tulip bulbs (her fave) at the service. I always like the thought of them blooming in so many gardens.

"This woman isn’t married & doesn’t want kids, so she’s useless. The least she could do is sacrifice her body, risk death, and destroy her mental health so we, flawless heteronormative beings with zero empathy, can raise a traumatized child ripped from his birthmother. What could possibly go wrong?"

the industry has a playbook for “protecting the birthmother,” and it’s abjectly cynical.

To be adopted means: the world collectively turned its back on me & my birthmother. Think about that if you ever encounter an adoptee who seems to have a chip on their shoulder. 🥚

Sure I can. It’s not normal to grow up without genetic mirroring and in possession of a falsified birth certificate. Separation from a birthmother is inherently traumatic, and serving as the solution to someone’s else’s infertility is weird. doesn’t make us evil. But neither are we “as if born to.”

Darius' birthmother was a planned sacrifice, but when they discovered she was ovulating, Bhaal directly possessed a follower and abused her. Over and over across days, until the spawn took.

A terrible loss. May her memory be a blessing.
Remembering Ellen Bernstein, 70, the 'birthmother' of Jewish environmentalism - Jewish Telegraphic Agency

A terrible loss. May her memory be a blessing.
My birth parents never conisdered my reaching out 'upending their lives'. They had always wanted to know what happened to me and how I was.
And as a birthmother myself I can say the same. Nothing would make me happier than to know what happened to the children I was forced to give up.

This part got to me:
“She doesn’t want me. She wants her baby back….She could not let go of the loss that had defined her life.”
The endless infantilizations of adoption.
