I'm an adoptive mom to two kids. Open adoption on both kids. Their birthmoms are family. Number two child was just in his birthmom's wedding. Antonia's statement about "all adoptive moms being threatened by birthmoms" is just not true. Some of us love and embrace our kids' birthmoms!

1. "RE: Antonia's knowledge about adoption is a poor as her knowledge of finances!" |
Good to know!I have a friend, and her husband, who have adopted two children. Both children came from "open adoptions" which my friend and her husband are fine with. The parents of these children made this decision based on their ability to appropriately support these children, and their inability to conceive naturally. As a result, The adoptees have brothers and sisters from their birth parents, and my friend and her husband didn't want to take those relationships from them, either. So, their two, adopted sons, know all four parents (birth and adopted) and all their brothers and sisters. I applaud the committment to keeping "The Whole Village" in raising a child, for the people who can. The children are the winners in this adoption scenario. Everyone loves them, they know it, and are raised properly. These open adoptions do exist, and they do work out, and they aren't always "conflama." I'd also like to take a minute to point out that there are cultures where people HAVE more than one parent. There isn't this fight for children as "my property" in them. All the adults are referred to as "mom" or "dad" or "Auntie." I have an African friend that has a father who married three women, his three wives. My friend calls all of them "Mom" and doesn't know who really birthed him, because it did not matter! --The implications for that in this country are staggering... Antonia seems to have lived a pretty sheltered life for all the pain she claims to be in. She really doesn't seem to know that there are all kinds of different families in the world, and the world should not be judged by the one she was raised in (or not raised in, as the case may be. Since she seems to have a lot of growing up to do--)

SO has done a terrible job from the time of Josie of portraying adoption. This situation with Cassie has been a one-sided gossip fest from the beginning with constantly changing stories about Cassie always putting her in the best possible light and always trying to make the adoptive mother look as mean and horrible as possible.I have the greatest respect for both parties in an adoption both the life giver and the one who then raises the child. Each give a special gift to that child and each deserves the praise of knowing what role they were able to play in that child's life. SO has never portrayed adoption in a postive light and I've been often angered at how Cassie has been allowed to bash the adoptive mother all the while never being truly honest about her own responsiblity in why the relationship broke down between adoptive mother and birth mother. It is at best hard to have a relationship with a drug/achol addict. When a child is involved it must be so much harder to have to make the decision that is in the best interest of the child to have the birth mother involved or not. Anotonia feels she knows a great deal about everything based on her very limited experiences in life. One moment she's bashing Cassie the next minute the adoptive Mom it just goes to show how little knowledge she really has about the world.

Antonia is Clueless. She is just very immature and childlike. I can see how she got herself into major debt and why her life is in a mess. I think her mother did her a real diservice not teaching her about how things are in the real world. I thinks he has been sheltered and pampered.

Antonia is clueless, true. Is she this way because of her mother didn't teach her about the real world? I doubt it. Nor do I believe that she was pampered. She is simply a hard headed little girl. Like most hard heads she believes she knows-it-all. They're quick to jump to conclusions. Nothing more, nothing less.

When I watch Antonia on the show she seems like a sixteen year old.
