I have much to say about this case, and a couple of others, but first things first. I know it's been quite some time since I posted anything, and for that I apologize. But, well life does get in the way sometimes.
IF any of you have been living in a closet, and don't know about this case, well here, go to this page and read:
https://www.facebook.com/StandingOurGroundForVeronicaBrown
and of course there is the opposite page, I will not dignify it by posting the link, but I am sure all you lovely creative people can find it on FB simply by searching "Save Veronica Rose" I don't read there, have posted there exactly once in two years, and was promptly banned for speaking the truth. No great loss- truly.
Let me preface this post by saying I am astounded by the ruling in SCOTUS, and SCSC, and that without a best interests hearing the Capobianco's adoption of Miss Veronica was finalized. NO current home study, no current ICPC in place, and with Dusten Brown's rights as a parent TPR'd. Really? I have lost track of the number of lies I have read about this case in the media, on social media and in blogs supporting these would be adopter's. It sickens me that a child (who will one day be an adult, not to mention a teenager) will one day google herself and find all of this on line.Not to mention the ties to the court birthmother's attorney has, and the ties that the Chief Justice has to adoption, and the ties Justice Thomas has to adoption as well. One wonders why they did not recuse themselves from this case.
The downright meanspiritedness of those supporting the adopter's, and the comments made about her father and family are enough to make any sane, and caring person ill. Then we have the comments made about her sister, and her sister's mother to throw into that mix. I was flabbergasted to read a post that casually called into question a DNA test that was done, that has NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING INVOLVED IN THIS CASE! Really? How dare you drag another innocent into this mess that these people have made of this child's life?
Then we have an attorney who works for the "BIRTH MOTHER" (yes I am aware I don't use that word, but this woman deserves this term) posting to a FB page that supports the child's father, and her. What is wrong with that picture? Now we have this supposed professional sending private messages to supporters of Veronica and her father? Wait, what? So how is that handled? Why like this:

Isn't if funny that when this happens to people who support the Brown family they respond by asking well reasoned questions, and without defaming anyone? But did you read the comments? Anonymous, well let's just say that to some of us, they are not so anonymous. I am very proud of Cassi's response, and the well reasoned questions she asked.

As for me, I will Stand My Ground for any family going through this, I did for "Grayson Vaughn" Now Thaddeus Wyrembeck- I did (and still do) for SSG. Terry Achane, I did for Cody O'Dea, John Wyatt, Rob Manzanares, Anthony Lingle, Mike Marek, Jon Butler, Scott Hagerman and so many more men in the same position as Dusten Brown.
To learn more about these men and their stories, either google them or go here:

People often ask why is it so important to me to stand up to the Adoption Industry, and to stand up for father's right's as well as mother's. I stand up for them, because no one stood up for me, I stand up for them, because I never want any family to endure what I have endured, and my children have endured. I stand up for them, and I shout about it, I write about it, I write to legislators, and Governor's and to anyone I can think of that may be able to help fight the fight for NATURAL FAMILIES RIGHT'S. I fight because the adoption industry is corrupt, it is big business, a 12 BILLION dollar a year business that is largely unregulated in this country. I fight for the children, because at the end of the day, if I did not, I could not look at myself in the mirror. There are many days I don't want to fight, and there have been months when I have been silent, (Well ok, years, lets just say my heart has not been in blogging) but I can't be silent anymore. I simply cannot.I can not sit by and watch yet more families devastated by this industry, if I had my way, there would be an American Child Welfare Act modeled after the ICWA. So that all father's and mother's and their children were protected from the vulture's who would take their children, simply because some infertile couple wants a baby. It truly doesn't matter to me that these people want babies, I feel bad for them that they can't have children. Truly, I watched my sister struggle to conceive, but you know what? When she couldn't have a baby, she didn't adopt, she instead gave her love and affection to her niece's and nephews. She took in other's children and helped raise them- and if she had wanted to adopt from foster care I would have been 100% behind her. Why didn't she adopt? Well you see, she watched what adoption had done to my life, and she and her husband just couldn't bring themselves to do to another woman what was done to me.
Now, I am not nearly as eloquent as some of the bloggers who have written about this case, there are much better piece's on the listly list than this one. But I do have one thing in common with all those bloggers, I am firmly behind Dusten Brown and his daughter Veronica also called Little Star, this little human, this little person deserves to stay with her father and mother, who have fought so hard for her for so very long.She deserves to have her big sister K. in her life, and she deserves to know her roots, and her tribe, and she deserves peace and contentment. The C's would have you believe that they are the better parents for her, I am here to tell you this is not so. It is always better for a child to be raised with her natural family, especially when that family is fit, loving and doing so well raising their child.
I expect I will have more to say on this as things progress, so please do stay tuned, both to this page and the listly list.
Laugh a lot, it's good for you~

Beautiful.
Mary so very well written and I agree with all you have said, the reason I believe we will never have a federal law about adoption is States Rights. That would be the sticking point, Because every state has different laws they would not like the federal govt telling them what to do and even though this would be a good law they would probably never agree! But good writing and good points
Very well written and spoken from the heart.
If it is okay I am leaving addition fact links in the form of the Opinions and Orders from the SCOTUS and the SCSC.
