🤰🏻This article raises a timely question: does (or should) everyone have the right to become a ?

Adoption agencies have historically been empowered legally to determine who should get to . Fertility clinics profit from costly treatments with no guarantees of success. Meanwhile, each state’s services decide which parents should forfeit their rights involuntarily due to child abuse or neglect.

in and beyond, has quickly outpaced adoption, both in popularity and in expense. Yet recent surrogacy scandals (especially a recent birth to an Alaskan surrogate in Texas) are making folks question what a parent really is; who should “get” to become one; and how? Is everyone entitled to not be if they do choose?

We’re gifting you this article. Read it and share your thoughts below… we want to know what you think?

What if starting a family was thought of not as a privilege, but as a fundamental right?

Open adoption not only is intended to ensure that adoptees should always know whom they were born to and why they were adopted— it should enable them lifelong access to needed firsthand information about their original family tree, as well.

Heart disease in your family?

I don’t know.

Cancer?

I don’t know.

Diabetes?

I don’t know.

Mental illness?

I don’t know.

What did your biological grandparents die from?

I DON’T KNOW.

Do you understand how outrageous this is?

Adoptees walk into doctors’ offices every single day and are asked questions that could be important to their healthcare, and many of us have been systematically denied the information necessary to answer them.

Then we are expected to shrug and write: UNKNOWN.

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. A million times, NO!!!

We need to stop treating this as some unfortunate little side effect of adoption.

This is our medical information.

We need this Information that could potentially affect medical decisions for us and our children.

And here's something else. This is what frosts my flakes the most!The medical information collected when an adoptee is an infant does not magically remain current for the next 60 years. A biological mother who was healthy at 20 may develop cancer at 50. A biological father may develop heart disease. A sibling may discover a hereditary condition. A grandparent may receive a diagnosis that changes the medical picture for an entire biological family.

Who tells the adoptee?

In most cases, NOBODY.

And somehow society has normalized this.

IT'S NOT OKAY. Not even one little bit.

Adoptees should not have to search, investigate, take DNA tests, locate strangers, or become amateur genealogists just to obtain medical information that non-adopted people routinely receive from their families.

This isn't about being curious, or ungrateful, and it's not about whether somebody "had a good adoption." .

This is healthcare.

And “I don't know” should NEVER be the only family medical history an adoptee is allowed to have.

ADOPTEES ONLY: How many times have you had to say “I don't know” in a doctor's office because you simply weren't given access to the answer?

And if you eventually obtained your biological medical history, did you discover anything your doctors needed to know?

🤫 Here’s some good advice… “never apply a permanent solution to a temporary crisis.” Too often, people put adult whims before children’s best interests. And yes: can be a life-changing option for everyone, but it’s thr best choice only when it’s done the right way and for the right reasons.

Some hardships are temporary.

They are seasons - painful, uncertain, and heavy, but still seasons. They need helping hands, financial support, childcare, resources, and people willing to stand beside a woman until the storm begins to clear.

But not every hardship is a season.

Some realities cannot be changed by a check, a program, a few months of assistance, or the promise that things will eventually get better. Some circumstances reach beyond what temporary support can repair.

And sometimes, that is where adoption enters the story.

Not because a mother needed someone to rescue her from a temporary storm, but because she understood the difference between what could change and what could not. She looked beyond the pain of today and considered the lifetime ahead of her child.

That distinction matters.

Because compassion means helping a woman through what can be changed. But it also means respecting her when she recognizes what cannot.

Temporary hardships need helping hands.
Permanent realities sometimes require lifelong choices.
