November is National Adoption Awareness Month , and I am posting every day on my main blog Daily Bastardette, then re-posting appropriate blogs to here or Bastard Nation. This blog was posted originally on DB on November 21, 2024.
he answer to my title is: I dunno!
But again we get this weird idea that baby boxing is love. This time from Caitlin Kelly, a Safe Haven Baby Boxes Inc staff speaking at the November 19, box blessing in Waveland, Mississippi. You’d think normal adoption procedures are unavailable in Tipton County
“This station can now give parents a completely anonymous option to safely surrender their child without having to worry about fear or judgment that can come with a face-to-face surrender,” Kelly said. “What great love it must be to seek a safe space for your child, to choose to lovingly surrender, rather than illegally abandon. To love your child enough to say, ‘I am not enough. I want you to have a life that I cannot provide for you.’’’
How is erasing your child’s identity, history, family, and community from the world, sticking them in an origininless, histsoryless black hole that they cannot climb out of an act of “great love?
I dunno!
I don’t know if the baby box is a case of hate, but certainly is one of SHBB-taught detachment, disengagement, and indifference towards your child that will remain with them for life. If you believe otherwise, you’ve been grifted.
