the lord didn't hand pick ME, or asshats and religious mods

I've been visiting MDC a lot less these days, because of the growing conservatism, censorship and asshat-ness [sure that's a word!] of the mods, policies, and members. In fact, the recent exclusion of birthmoms and adoptees from the Adoption forum has gotten me utterly pissed. And to top it all off, the mod who made the rules for the forum put in a poem about picking up your child for adoption at the airport and how "the lord hand-picked" him for the adoptive family.

I was neither hand-picked, nor hand-picked by "the lord" for my adoptive family. Not being a lord-follower, I just don't get why MDC needs to have that bit in there.

It is insulting to prioritize the needs of the adoptive parents over birthmoms and adoptees. At what point are the needs of birthmoms and adoptees as valued as the new family? The myth of the clean slate is getting really old.

Whatever, though. As the world goes, so does Mothering. I'm just pissed.
