“The words ‘give up’ or ‘put up’ for adoption are so negative. And,they are very hurtful both to parents and adopted children. We see thedecisionto choose adoption as one of the truest forms of sacrificial love,” says JoiWasill, with Moms Alive, a support group for mothers of adopted children.

Adoption has been around since Biblical times, Wasill believes, created byGodfrom the time Moses’ mother placed in a basket for his protection allowinghim to be raised by the Pharaoh’s daughter.

The phrase "sacrificial love" brings to mind a distinctly different old
testament figure.

Funny thing. I"m writing about that tonight for my AAC paper. Here's
something really funny directly from my paper:

In a scene, reminiscent of current secret and closed adoption mentality, the
Talmud reports that "All the peoples of the world ridiculed Abraham and
Sarah when they gave a banquet for the weaning of Isaac saying, "Have you
seen that old man and woman who brought a foundling from the street and now
claim him as their own! And what is more, they make a great banquet to
establish their claim."

I never did trust those geezers. Sarah must have flipped over Hagar.
Sounds like Iasaac was a marriage saver. And then Dad tries to burn him.
Cheesh! Talk about dysfunctional!
