[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand the frustration, and the anger.  However it's misdirected to one source, when,  really, it was the whole system at whatever time. It wasn't just this church. It was a society,  a community, her family, the support system of her family that encouraged this- and  it wasn't just the church. It was societal thing, a trafficking, elitist, racist, misogynistic thing. 
So, it's not this church or even the whole religion. I am quite sure there were babies in Baptist communities who were supported and not adopted out. Also,  check out the racism issues here.  Very few babies of color, in Baptist or other religions, were adopted out. Saying it's the fault of this church is reductive, and I am no fan of organized  religion of any kind.

Get involved in adoption circles, those that advocate for adoptee's  rights, work  to help under resourced  mothers, work  to help women and rights of women.

We need you now, as you can see in the news.

The one Baptist church isn't the source of your problem of how you were given away- it's a much larger systemic problem than this. [/quote]

+1.    Excellent comment -- hope OP takes it to heart.[/quote]
