I am going through and deleting my email gmail account. I can't figure out how to change the email address in this blog, as it forced me to associate my gmail with my blog. If anyone knows how to do it... please leave a message.
If I don't figure out how to do it soon... I'm switching over to:
Heather At Wordpress
Edit: Actually, I am finding that I really like wordpress better, and so I am going to be using it primarily. Join me over there!

Freedom
When they have taken everything from us,
And we look around and realize
We have nothing left to lose.
We no longer fear the consequences
Of holding people accountable.
What more, after all, can they do?
This is freedom.
Without fear,
Without chains,
Without guilt.
They break us, They abuse us,
They create systems to destroy our families,
To miseducate us,
To imprison us when we try to fight back.
They try to take our souls.
But They can not.
We are too strong for Them.
So I help, I sacrifice,
materials, time, my self,
For the good of humanity.
For the good of family preservation,
For peace and justice.
And They sit back,
And They watch.
Wondering what I will write next.
Wondering what I will do next.
Wondering when They will be given orders,
To try to break me again.
And how.
And They get cold shivers
Down their back,
As They realize,
I am writing about Them.
And we look around and realize
We have nothing left to lose.
We no longer fear the consequences
Of holding people accountable.
What more, after all, can they do?
This is freedom.
Without fear,
Without chains,
Without guilt.

They create systems to destroy our families,

So I help, I sacrifice,

For the good of family preservation,
For peace and justice.
And They sit back,
And They watch.
Wondering what I will write next.
Wondering what I will do next.
Wondering when They will be given orders,
To try to break me again.

Irregularities in Adoptions in Vietnam
Adopted Children Immigrant Visa Unit
Summary of Irregularities in Adoptions in Vietnam
http://vietnam.usembassy.gov/irreg_adoptions042508.html
On October 25, 2007 in response to "growing concerns about
irregularities in the methods used to identify children for adoption
in Vietnam and the resulting difficulties in classifying those
children as orphans," USCIS required that I-600 petitions be filed in
Ho Chi Minh City, with the processing of these petitions to be
completed before prospective adoptive parents travel to Vietnam. These
procedures enable USCIS to determine whether a child qualifies as an
orphan, as defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act. In the six
months since this program was instituted, US officials in Vietnam have
investigated over 300 I-600 petitions. This report presents a summary
of our findings.

DI WELLFARE, 1950-2008 from Australia
I saw this on Bastardette, for their tribute to Di Wellfare
For all those people who say that first parents aren't parents because we didn't do this and that for our children.
Di Wellfare says:
Don't flatter yourself too much about parenting. It hardly takes intellect, just instinct. Even monkeys do it hanging upside down in a tree, scratching their bums at the same time. In case you still don't get it, which you obviously won't, it means: don't think you're superior because you parent. Even monkeys do it.
...you sure you can't hang upside down in trees?......oh nevermind.
You'd never get it.
