I was reading this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090629/ap_on_he_me/eu...

Summary for the click link phobic:

Very ill women were freezing their ovaries and having their own ovaries transplanted in after that illness scare was over. The article states that the procedure was mainly reserved for those who were very sick but now could start reaching out to women who want to preserve their fertility that aren't very ill.

My question is, do you think it is a very far stretch to see ovary donation between women?

The last question about infertility and adoption peaked my curiosity of what answers would come from flipping the question.

Earlier it was asked if mothers who relinquished have the right to refuse reunion, and there was a good consensus that while it is indeed her right to refuse contact, she should feel obligated to meet just once. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiOA....

Now you won't hurt my feelings being blunt, because quite frankly I've heard most of the blunt things said before. That being said, do you think that adoptees have the right to refuse reunion, and comparing to the previous inclination suggesting a meeting once being owed, do you think that adoptees have that same obligation?

This is for mothers who have surrendered or relinquished a child for adoption to answer.

In a previous question it was suggested that if expectant mothers who are considering adoption aren't solicited for our children, then they would abandon or kill our children by leaving them in a dumpster or worse. So my question to you, mothers who have relinquished or surrendered a baby for adoption... would you have dumped your child in the dumpster?

This is a question for those who have either relinquished their child for adoption or seriously considered relinquishment but then decided to parent instead. At Origins Canada there is a list of coercion techniques that are identified that are frequently used against women considering relinquishment for the children. http://www.originscanada.org/adoption_coercion.htm...

Regardless of whether you feel that relinquishment was ultimately your choice, or whether you felt coerced or not, were any of those coercion techniques said or done to you?

Between the comments from adoptive parents discussing their children's parents of origin, the comments given to women asking for help about their crisis pregnancies, comments given by adoptees who don't need no other parents, and all the ugly hurtful things said... are you ever offended by the comments made in Yahoo! Answers?

When asked about your child's biological parents, do you freely speak of their circumstances? If you do, what kind of phrases do you use to describe them and their actions? Are the phrases positive, negative, or indifferent? Do you think that the adopted children are a reflection of how you speak of their biological parents?

Or if you are an adopted person, how does hearing your parents speak of your biological parents make you feel?

I already know what I think the answer to this question is, but what I really want to know is what you think the answer is. Also, if you have an connection to adoption, mention that too.

Basically, there has been embryos created from 3 people to genetically alter certain diseases out.

Relevant quote from the article I wanted to discuss:

Only trace amounts of a person's genes come from the mitochondria, and experts said it would be incorrect to say that the embryos have three parents.

"Most of the genes that make you who you are are inside the nucleus," Chinnery said. "We're not going anywhere near that."

Your thoughts?

In the last Juno question asked in the adoption section, there was discussion over the idea of firstmothers (birthmothers) disconnecting themselves while pregnant from their child being their child. (aka, thoughts of being an incubator for someone else's baby, or remaining firm in the thoughts that your baby was someone else's)

If you relinquished your child or considered relinquishing your child for adoption, did you have these feelings? What do you think this behavior stemmed from? (for example... coping tool, self-coercion to follow through, the way it should be, etc...)

If you didn't relinquish your child for adoption, what do you think about this topic?

I know there are a few of us on here that blog whether on a specific topic or across multiple topics. If you have a relationship with adoption, do you blog about adoption? Even if adoption is a topic that you sometimes touch upon, I'd love to see your links to the blog!

In another question regarding trolling for babies this comment was made.

"I personally am against trolling for children on the internet. However, I do find it rather interesting that adoptees who use any means necessary to find their birth parents (just look at the questions in this forum) get so angry that infertile woman try any means necessary to start a family. Each one is "desperate" in their own way and we need to support each other, not chastise."

What are your thoughts? Are the means used for searching for one's biological family in the same illegal and/or ethically wrong category as trolling expectant parents for infants?

In another answer someone wrote, "Birth mother do go through 9 months of hard time, but an adoptive mother usually goes through years of pain and suffering, sadness and depression due to the inability to conceive."

What purpose does this statement give? Is this a "who pain is worse" statement? Is it used to minimize a birthmother's loss? I suppose there are probably birthmothers out there that agree with this statement. Do you feel this statement reflects your story?

I am looking for answers from either adopted persons or from families of origin who have had to write one of these letters. In case our son contacts the lawyer who facilitated his adoption seeking information, we want to place a letter there for him. Besides contact information, what else should be said in this letter?
