But what if the person is a one-trick pony but his or her or its name doesn’t indicate such, like mine?
It’s a good way to stub your toe. But there are a lot more people opposed to adoption than who support kicking puppies.
Doesn’t make them right.
And it’s not even the point of the thread. You can be against adoption and not go around randomly insulting adoptive parents and adopted people.
I’m a little perplexed as to why someone would be “against” adoption. Are there good reasons to be dead set against the entire practice, or is this mere scroogery?
For thyself thou must judge whether those who oppose adoption are insightful visionaries or miserable fuckwits. Mayhap these links will be of aid.

Even if you oppose adoption, its inappropriate to threadshit in Skald’s thread.
It depends what you consider “good reasons”. The reasons are cultural, usually.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.

**ZPG Zealot **is a one trick pony, apparently so filled with self-loathing and hatred of family that she will try to dominate and derail any thread that attempts to discuss family structure related issues.
Zero Population Growth Zealot hates children, family, parents, and will take a steaming crap in your thread if you try to talk about them. Family structure is slavery and ownership to her.
There are several posters on the SDMB with pet hot-button issues that no one is allowed to discuss without the point of the OP being lost in the volume of noise. Whenever any discussion begins about those issues, they will swoop in and attempt to dominate the thread until the discussion ends.
You have probably seen this for yourself. Almost like a denial of service attack.
**Der Trihs **will denounce religion in threads discussing faith until there is no point in continuing to follow the thread.
There can be no talk about global warming that will not be drowned out by a rising flood of cites and posts by GIGObuster.
And again, currently FinnAgain is doing the same thing, once again, in a thread that has a hint of critisism of Israel.
These aren’t the only examples, and I am not attacking these posters for their behavior. But sometimes it would be nice to see these issues talked about without their sage input. Once they start in, the topic has been effectively threadshitted out of relevance. This is both amusing and disappointing, because if you read here often you can see it coming a mile away.
**ZPG Zealot **has issues, regarding her personal family history and cannot tolerate anyone who does not see family structure as some form of slavery. It’s just more of the same hot-topic, one issue thread derailment that is normal here.
Just step away from the thread, put a big DO NOT POST post-it on your computer screen, something, and let the discussion continue. Yes, we know your feelings in the matter. We don’t understand but we have read your viewpoint several times before.
Find something else to do and let the discussion of the OP continue.
I was wondering when she was going to come out from under her rock. I guess "Non-biological parents: please share your stories" was pretty much guaranteed to do the trick.
I don’t actually find this to be insulting (speaking as an adoptive parent, let alone any kind of parent). She’s just stating that the relationship of parent has been irrevocably ruined for her, and so that’s how she sees the term. If my parents were Joan Crawford and Joel Steinberg, I’d feel the same way. She’s just so narrow-minded that she can’t see outside of that.
Who takes time to count while pile of assholes is tallest?
I find it extremely insulting, not to mention stupid beyond the usual limits, that you seem to think that only qualifer for raising a child is calling yourself a parent. Parents are the most likely suspects whenever a child is abused or murdered. Millions of people throughout history have been the Guardians and Caregivers of children, how dare you claim that what we have done is somehow less because we don’t care to have an illogical title applied to us. Vile is forcing women to be unpaid surrogates. Vile is egotists that spend thousand of dollars to take babies from their native culture there are children in their home cities, if not in their very families, who need financial help. And the ultimate in vile is probably telling a vulnerable child that the only way you will help them survive is if they deny their history and call you, mommy or daddy.
Now we know how many assholes it takes to fill the Albert Hall!
Oh go away will you? You already started a multipage trainwreck thread to spout your crazy on this topic in GD a while back. Americans are not “stealing” Roma & other ethnicities of children from their homes. You’re a loony.
Pith off.
Haven’t you realized yet. Adoption is the most amazing holy thing on the Drop. Why it can be used to punish all those evil sinful women that have sex by forcing them to be broodmares for infertile people thus saving thousands that would have had to be paid to a surrogate mother. It allows wealthy people to rescue all the cute little babies from their poor parents who can’t afford Nintendo thus giving them brand new pet children every year and freeing up all those poor ghetto people now that they don’t have to find childcare to take slave wage jobs.
You seem troubled, dear heart. I regret that my thread distressed you and hope you find peace.
Not very observant are we. Actually, I love my family. It is one of the most important aspects of my life. However I find it very annoying when people seem to think that grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc., are somehow not family or at least not relevant to the family.
LOL. Yup. Whackadoo.
