I should have done that already, and will.

Where or with whom did the discussion take place? I ask not to be nosy, but to point out that there are a lot of Catholics, including the clergy, who THINK they know the Church’s teachings on something, but don’t. The Catholic catechism’s teaching on abortion make no reference to adoption; there’s actually only one reference to adoption in the catechsim, and referenced as a possible act of generosity to abandoned (the reference is specific) children. Catholics who believe that the Church’s teaching on abortion DEMANDS asupport for closed records are dangerously misinformed. Unfortunately, they’re misinformed in large numbers, which is going to make it very hard to get them to step out of their ideology and see the truth.

Margie,

I think it would be awesome if you or any other Catholic reading this contacted Catholic Charities and told them how you feel about this miscarriage of justice they are supporting.

Suprisingly, sealed birth certificates may be the one injustice I haven’t seen supported by a Bible verse.

This Catholic apologizes, even if the Catholics you were having this discussion with might consider it a cause for excommunication. There is no theological or moral reason to connect the opening of adoptee birth records with support for abortion, and Catholics who continue to make that connection pervert the Church’s demand for truth and justice.

Now you’re just the kind of person I want talking to my California legislators, not some mamby-pamby self-rightous compromiser who claims to speak for us.

Rock on, Joy. I am only just recently awakening from my adoption denial, and I thank you for your honesty…and I’m with you on the Adam Ant. “Strip” was the first album I ever purchased in CD form.:-)

Hi, about a transracial adoption:

I thought readers would be interested in my feature in Adoptive Families Magazine for National Adoption Month http://bit.ly/Second_Chances I’d love to know comments. You can find me on my Mutts blog or Twitter http://www.twitter.com/deborahdash

That Born in my Heart needs a new tagline. Not sure what, though.
