However, we feel it is a step forward. I am an adoptee & a birth mother. It gives me a balanced view of both sides of the adoption situation. We must respect all points of view, and whilst we may agree or disagree with some, it is not our role to enforce our opinion on anyone. Many mothers are in their "twilight" years, and an apology will be a comfort to them.<br />Compassion is the key word here.<br />An enquiry takes time, the result may not please all. Inner peace is more important than a legal victory over the government of the day. We cannot rewrite history, nor should we want to. The Alas "Trailblazers" have shown that all women are valuable and the bond of sisterhood is a formidable force. Our children would be proud of all of us.<br /><br />Kaye SuthersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894148359176807956.post-53494033250060505652009-09-12T19:30:38.070+10:002009-09-12T19:30:38.070+10:00I am a little skeptical about an apology, as we ar...I am a little skeptical about an apology, as we are yet to hear of the Nationwide extent of crimes that such an apology would correspond to. That is, we have had a parliamentary inquiry but not a national one.<br /><br />I am not willing to sell my son's birthright (his knowledge of his moving mother) for a bowl of soup (an apology).<br /><br /><br />http://gonetomarriedcatholics.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16687704288341815808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894148359176807956.post-18873118961681312582009-08-31T19:50:14.228+10:002009-08-31T19:50:14.228+10:00Well done to all the brave souls who have fought l...Well done to all the brave souls who have fought long & hard for recognition. Those in the forefront of the battle, and to those who have worked silently behind the scene. The Qld. Trailblazers were one of the first to kick start this wonderful step forward. Not popular with all persons involved in the "adoption debacle", however, let us give credit to their tenacity & integrity, along with Professor Ian Jones whose compassion & understanding of a unique situation is unparalleled.Kaye Suthersnoreply@blogger.com
