The Perfect Gift for "Birthmother" and Baby

Been shopping around and finally found the perfect baby to adopt?

Looking for adoption jewelry, bracelets, necklaces, just the right gift for a "birthmother", custom announcement cards or other products? Adoption baby shower ideas?

We hope you will look carefully at adoption itself. Consider how separation from family might affect a human being.

When an adopted child - hurting from separation from her entire family - asks the adopters "Why didn't you help my real mother keep me?" what will the answer be?

Why are so many adopted people angry about being prevented from knowing their own family members? Some adoptees even murder the people who adopted them.

Women all over the world are being used as if they were only a source of babies. In some countries, women enslaved for prostitution are bred with lighter-skinned males to produce babies that will command a higher price on the adoption market.

In other countries, single middle-class parents and grandparents are called "unwed" mothers, "birthmothers" and "birth family" and advised by adoption "professionals" to make their sons and daughters available for strangers - known as "real parents" - to adopt.

Read the information on this website about how it affects a mother when her baby is taken for adoption. Think "open adoption" will make it all better? That with "open adoption" you can still get a baby to use "as if" she was born to you and not feel guilty? As the more ethical people in the adoption business say: "Open adoption is NOT adoption lite."

In most states, puppies and kittens are protected by law from being separated from their mothers. Consider whether it makes sense to separate human babies from their mothers at birth just so you can adopt.

Looking for just the right gifts for "birthmoms"? Why not give a single mom and baby a gift they'll really enjoy - a special gift of love and support in staying together as family.

Save the whales. Save the dolphins. But more importantly, save the human family - whether single or married - from the destructive forces of infant adoption.

Note: There is a large market for newborn babies for adoption. Adoption "counselors" in North America like to refer to expectant parents as "birthparents" or "birthmothers", while calling the unrelated person hoping to adopt a "parent". The objective of this so-called "respectful adoption language" is to make the acquisition of healthy newborn babies by infertile people seem "normal". The euphemism "adoption" is used to deflect attention from the reality - this is a transfer of human babies from loving (if naive or pressured) relatives to customers.

The misleading, disrespectful terms "birthmother", "birthfather" and "birthparents" are used on this website for search engine purposes only. The terms "mother", "father", "single parent", " family member" and "natural mother" are accurate, respectful, and nonderogatory terms. See "Why Birthmother Means Breeder" by Diane Turski for more information.

Other misleading, dishonest terms include "biological" child, "genetic" sister, "surrogate" mother, egg "donor", or sperm "donor". These terms are used to make human beings appear to be unrelated to their own family members. Why would a "donated" child (or adult adoptee) wish to learn more about - or contact - her "biological" sister or mother? Why would she say after reunion that it "feels like" her "biological sister" (or other relative) is her sister (or other relative)? Because true families are created by nature, not by government edicts or by the adoption or "sale" of babies.

We chose a geneological theme for this website

because in infant adoption geneological connections to family are broken

and family trees demolished.
