Adopted or abducted?

[jannes]

so I\m off thread here but how would Catholic Authorities know if a pregnancy was by IVF .Do they have the right to ask such personal questions.Do they demand medical records to see if there is a ABC prescription.Do they put spies in stores to see who\s buying condoms ?do they demand cameras in your bedroom to watch for illicit sexual behavior .No!! the unmarried mother is still the best target … hypocrisy in ankle socks.I still ask would they fire a male teacher if he got a woman pregnant? never heard of it .I do remember the gym teachers male/female being caught in the act behind the dining room .They were not fired because it would be too embarrasing for some prominent families ,now if they had come from the other side of the tracks they would have been out tout suite

Well let me tell you my story. I was taken, yes taken from my birth mother by the NY Foundling Hospital back in the 60s. I was put up for adoption, adopted at 3 years of age. Had my Catholic Baptismal certificate altered — which by the way is an afront to the HOLY SPIRIT. I was never told. NEVER!!! I found out when my last ‘parent’ died. Just found the papers in the bank vault next to the will. What a convenient way for them to tell me don’t you think? Never had to face up the lies they told me. Well come to find out that my birthmother was an Italian-Jew!!! Not Catholic at all. I guess they supposed she was because she had Italian blood. So now what? My single birthmother gave birth to me at Misericordia Hospital. They this supposed Catholic hospital, took me from her, telling her I died. Guess we can’t have another Jew in the world could we? So, I was taken from a Jewish home, put in a Catholic home and raised in a lie. From the paperwork that I have, it is quite plain that the Church told them NEVER to tell me the truth. But you know, the truth will out in the end. Everyone involved in all this is now dead, buried and judged. I hope the Lord was more merciful to them than I would have been. As for me, I’m looking for a new religion. One that shows more compassion to people than the catholic church does. I may even go back to being a Jew! Jesus was a Jew so that’s all I have to say about all this.

Curious, how do you know you were “taken” from your mother? How do you know what they “told” the birth mother? The three year adoption process is quite long - especially for the 1960s.
