[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was adopted.

My birth mother grew up poor in Sorth Carolina. Her big family was very Baptist. So when she got pregnant, she had to go to an unwed mother's home and give me up. I was considered a worthless b@stard and so her devout parents would have disowned her if they ever found out. She hid it and a friend helped her get to the unwed more home.

I have since identified my birth parents. I know which church she went to. It is my fantasy to go there and denounce them. I want to embarrass and punish them.

What would you do? They still push the no sex before marriage BS. Only the women and children suffer.

I grew up without my family because of their preaching.

Sounds like you would not have wanted to grow up in that environment. So while your disappointment at not living with your birth parents is understandable you’re outrage seems overwrought. Are you suggesting that it would’ve been better that the Baptists advocated for aborting you — or not you if you believe that the fetus’s identity is different from you.

Beside, it could go either way. A HS friend forever talked about meeting her birth mother. Turns out all the negative assumption about her birth father were wrong, and mostly applied to her mother. Amazingly it is the father and his children with whom she has some semblance of a relationship. She wants nothing to do with her bio mom.[/quote]
