Identified Adoptions - What is an "Identified
Adoption"?
There are so many "types" of infant adoption. There is
"open" adoption, "semi-open" adoption, "closed"
adoption. Hospitals today try to keep mothers and babies together
to prevent the harm that comes from separating them. No other caregiver,
not even the baby's father, can replace her mother. Separating mothers
and babies at birth is unhealthy for both of them. Yet, true motherhood
is undervalued and unsupported by many in our society. Each of these
adoption "options" makes it possible for people who are
not actually mothers to get the healthy newborn baby "of their
dreams".
In addition to "open adoption" and other forms of adoption,
there is something called "Identified Adoption". Here's
the definition/explaination of "Identified Adoptions"
from www.Adoption.CON:
Identified Adoptions: In this type of adoption, the
birth mother has selected the family that she wishes to adopt
her child. This may have been accomplished by the birth mother
reviewing information about only a few couples, or many couples.
The birth mother may or may not actually meet the adoptive parents
that she identifies as the parents to adopt her child.
We think the description would read a little more clearly if it
was stated in this way:
Identified Adoptions: In this type of adoption, the
child's actual mother may be naive or feel pressured to "choose"
adoption and "select" prospective adopters long before
her baby is even born, before she has any concept of what she
is "choosing". The father's parental rights are usually
ignored completely. The "family" that wants to adopt
are generally complete strangers - people who are unrelated to
her baby. They are people who have the money to pay for adoption
"services" that will help them to get a baby. Some of
them also take advantage of the federally-funded Infant Adoption
Awareness Training and adoption advertising to find a "birthmother"
independently and snag a baby on their own.
While mothers looking for a temporary caregiver or
babysitter may be advised by professionals to check out prospective
babysitters carefully, mothers considering a permanent caregiver
are being advised (by those who will profit in some way) to "just
trust" the adoption agency or attorney and the adoption home
study. Not only may the mother not meet the prospective adoptive
baby buyers - but she may be given false information about their
names and everything else about them.
In infant adoption, the actual mother, father and grandparents
are nearly always being conned. And as an infant, the adopted baby
cannot defend herself from the adoption businesses and the manipulative
tricks they use to separate her from her mother. But the adopted
person will not remain a cute little baby forever - she will grow
up to have her own perspective about this heartless family separation.

Children (Adult Adoptees) Speaking Out
What is adoption really? The infertile or gay adoptive "parent"
gets to use the human being they have adopted as a fill-in for the
child they could not/did not have. They are issued a fraudulently
amended birth certificate to enable them to hide the real identity
of the child (or adult) adoptee. They deny her real identity and
her heritage. They like to refer to the child's real family members
as "biological" family or "birth" family ( "birth
objects") making it seem as thought the actual family is meant
to be used as the source of a baby. What is adoption really? Adoption
is a scam and a violation of human rights.
