Love v. Hate
1. Malicious ill will prompting an urge to hurt or humiliate.
2. An instance of malicious feeling.
If anyone has read Joel's story and letters, it wouldn't take long to see how quickly a life can be ruined by neglect. What facinates me in the world of adoption is the adoptee attitute towards adoption.
How many adoptees support adoption, simply because their's was a good experience?
How many adoptees are aware of stories like Joel's, or his sister, Melissa's? How many adoptees were spared child abuse, neglect and incest?
How many adoptees were spared drug use, (of any kind) and prison time?
How many adoptees were given parents that were non-abusive, non-militant, and without depressive disorders or marital problems that got displaced on their purchased child?
Spite is a noun, but it is also a verb, as it is a way in which a person behaves and motivates. I believe a person either needs to hate or needs to be loved, and how that person acts towards others in actions and words will tell the real difference between the two.
In the case of Joel and Melissa, both are victims, but read the letters sent to Lori, and ask yourself, who has hate living still living and breathing in those bones, and who just wants to be loved?
Not all adoptees are born in America. Not all adoptees are living in America. Not all adoptees are limited to American trading. To think adoption issues are restricted or confined to American borders is ignorant and limited in biased opinion.
So the question is: who is going to help people like Joel?
