Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now @stopbabyboxes.bsky.social · 09/01/2025I hate hugs except from a few people, one of whom is dead, but I don't think it's related to adoption. I wasn't always that way. It comes with my growing dislike of humanity in general and how I want to disassociate myself from it. 010

Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now @stopbabyboxes.bsky.social · 09/01/20253. Eventually, search/reunion became the entire point. Sure there lots of complaints, but very few people wanted to get their hands dirty. The movement degenerated into a whiney entitled thing.

Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now @stopbabyboxes.bsky.social · 09/01/20252/When I got involved in the movement in 1980 it was understood that politics and search/reunion were components of the movement.

Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now @stopbabyboxes.bsky.social · 09/01/20251/ The big problem with PM is that it hijacked the adoptee rights movement of the 1980s in that it delegitimized the political implications and class war aspects of adoptee rights and turned adoption into a personal issue/problem with some kind of personal solution. 020
