Watch Stop Safe Haven Baby Boxes Now on “The Stream”

It was a great pleasure to be part of the discussion, Are Baby Baby Boxes Saving Lives? broadcast on The Stream, (Al Jazeera English) on December 10. The panel, besides myself: Nadene Grabham, Director of Baby Savers SA/Doorof Hope, and Patricia Knight Meyer, adoptee rights activist, blogger (My Adopted Life,and author of the forthcoming memoir, Wonderland: A Black Market Baby’s Rise from the Rabbit Hole.) Also clips from activists Abbi Johnson (Liberty Lost podcast) and Adopted Connor.

Don’t worry.! This is no Piers Morgan screamfest! It’s like–you know–the way TV was before crackpots took over the airwaves. Informed, educated discussion with guests who know what they are talking about and don’t insult your intelligence

Unfortunately, with the limited time allotted, I only got a few of the points I wanted to make, but that’s TV and OK. The message still came out clear. I doubt a link to the show gets posted on SHBB Inc social media, where never is heard a discouraging word.

National and international media get it! Unfortunately, local media ignores opposition in general–and adoptee opposition in particular–preferring to regurgitate SHBB Inc corpo talking points and press releases. It’s easier that way. And besides, why would anyone object?

Thanks to panel members, Stephanie Dekker and Producer Jassim Matar Kunji for making this happen.

Now I feel emboldened to get back on the dreaded TikTok after the first of the year.
