On my post, Talking Badly about Birth Parents in Front of Adopted Child, Snafu Suz and John are continuing a dialogue that we started a while ago. The focus of my post was on general assumptions that people make about birth parents, such as the misconception that any birth mother who places her baby for adoption must be young, single, and poor when this is not the situation for many birth parents.

Snafu Suz and John moved the conversation in the direction of talking badly about abusive birth parents, which, in my opinion, is a whole different ballgame.
