"Birthmother" Humor

"Birthmother" Humor

Regarding "birthmother" humor - I found a website with some humorous articles written by Joss Shawyer (a mother who narrowly escaped "birth objecthood" in 1969). Granted- it's a sort of tongue-in-cheek black humor - but the articles are GREAT - and very revealing! I've listed a few of the articles below.

When you read the title "birthmother" humor were you thinking I was about to make fun of "birthmothers"? I'm NOT - I would never put down a human being who has been used as if she were not a mother but only a machine producing babies for people to buy.

(Read "Why 'Birthmother' Means Breeder")

Most people have never thought about "unwed mothers" and the sordid history of adoption. Most "unwed mothers" used as a source of babies for adoption were young women who were white and often they were middle-class. Moms suffer terribly from having their infant sons and daughters removed from them to be used for adoption. Some people may have an idea how bad this punishment might be, but they may think that THOSE BITCHES DESERVE to suffer for life for their sins!

The truth is that adoption - the punishment for "unwed" births - is way out of proportion to the "crime" of giving birth.

To see how their babies are taken, read "Birthmothers" personal adoption stories.

Read about "open adoption" and how it is used by adoption agencies and prospective adoptive "parents" to lure moms into surrendering their babies for adoption.

And now for Joss Shawyers articles:

Touched By Adoption - With a Blowtorch

Nature Vs. Nurture - The Mystery Gene

Adoption Reunion - The Rocky Road

"Choosing" Adoption - Adoption "Choice" is a Feminist Issue

Adoption Traditions - The Empty Seat at the Table

What one adoptee has to say about infant adoption:

Dear Birthmother - What the Baby Brokers Won't Tell You About Adoptees and the Truth
Birthmothers Day Celebrations - An Adoptees Perspective

"Birthmother" humor - it may be considered offensive to stigmatize various racial and ethnic minorities, but the "unwed" mother is still fair game. Probably the ONLY reason there are not more jokes about "birthmothers" is because the adoption industry is still working hard to get healthy babies for 'loving' couples and they don't want anyone to comprehend that there is a human source of the babies that is being taken advantage of in a very cruel way.

	Determined June 1, 2008 06:54 PM PDT Contact me ASAP. I must make you current on the spreading of pro-adoption law designed to cheat father, child and family out of a life given to them and new legal coercions (as if the old weren't bad enough here) No one has rights except the salivating Adopters. What has happened in Utah aka w/LDSFS and their pro-adoption rep. Sheryl Allen (the evil crafter of the "Deadly Paternity Statute" buried in her Adoption Law) is a whole new way to slide B past us, when it's really about A. Fathers have been committing suicide due to this new (Jim Crow) laws permanent delivery system. Criminal Thinking Brains are dangerous like hers, David McConkie/LDSFS the owner and lawyer of LDSFS (LDS Family Services) and the NCFA (National Council for Adoption) This law legalizes what you write about, it’s shocking, but soooo true. Father, Mother, Child and all their family are left w/o rights!!! How you might ask? Spinning Criminal Thinking. i.e., new blaming techniques and deflections, deceit using the law to block logical thinking and like you could never, ever, believe possible! reply ASAP 06/01/08 Please Give me your contact info. and confirmation that identifies you. We seriously must brainstorm public policy. My God, you’d be shocked at what they’ve done and how they’ve responded. So called Criminals are sitting in prisons for a hell of lot less than for the entitled crimes they commit! Repy ASAP!!! Thx


	Joss Shawyer September 8, 2007 02:16 AM PDT I just wanted to say that my articles were not meant to be humorous. I used satire to push the point home, i.e. the point that so many north americans seem to miss most of the time. Thank you very much for reading my articles; they are in support of mothers everywhere, who were fooled by the very rabid adoption industry.
