CBS’ Abducted Generations Ridiculous Editor’s Note
So glad that Claudia Corrigan D’Arcy is being interviewed. So appalled about the editor’s note at the end of this piece: Abducted Generations?[Yahoo.com 4/30/12 by Dan Rather]
We should point out that adoption is not always about painful separation. Thousands of successful adoptions take place every year across the country and many new families are created. And the percentage today of forced adoptions is a fraction of what it was during a time in this country called by some scholars as the perfect storm. It was a period before oral contraception, before abortion and at the height of the sexual revolution. At its peak, nearly nine percent of babies born to never married mothers were adopted. Today that figure is around one percent.”
Obviously, the editor has never visited a Bethany maternity home.
Adoption ALWAYS involves a painful separation. The media is sucking down some NCFA again.
For a great post on this media piece, read Amanda’s reflections at Declassified Adoptee.
