"Who the heck is that?"
Probably the one link in my blogroll that most liberals wouldn't recognize is the one to Bill Cope. Bill is the husband of my birth mother, Rebeca. They live near Boise Idaho and Bill writes a weekly opinion piece for their local independent paper.
Which, experience shows, brings up the next question... A "birth mother" is the woman that gives birth to you and then gives you up for adoption. I was adopted and raised near Cincinnati. I met Rebeca when I turned 21 and it was legal for her to contact me. My adoptive mother is my mom, Rebeca is my birth mother.
There's more detail to that obviously, but that's all I'm going to say.
Regardless, Bill's articles are usually fun to read. His piece last week about his childhood home was really good. You can find it here.

First:
Good job with the posts.
On adoption, mothers and such: sometimes a kid grows under her heart, other times they grow in her heart. There are often very good reasons for parents to give up children for adoption and often times this is best for the child.
Love knows nothing about genetics. And that's a wonderful thing.
