The term "birthmother" is used on this website for search engine purposes only. The word "birth mother" is a derogatory, degrading, and inhumane term, essentially meaning breeder or incubator. Origins Canada does NOT condone its use as a term for mothers separated from their children by adoption.

"Natural mother" was the term commonly in use until the adoption industry created terms like "birth mother" to tell us that we are no longer mothers. Natural mothers are more than this. We never signed away our love or our innate motherhood.

Words like "birth mother" give the impression that people can become "ex" family. You can have an ex-boyfriend, but you can never have an ex-child or become an ex-mother.

 

"Ethics" of the Canadian Adoption Industry: Bribery and Lies!
By Cathy Henderson

The money is not there to help the kids. It is to make money. It is to line the pockets of already rich lawyers and baby brokers.

It is also used in bribes. I found out that bribes were paid by my son's adoption agency to medical staff in the hospital where my son was born. One of the nurses that abused me even bragged about it, knowing there was nothing I could do about it. The medical staff would be paid by the agency to abuse women into giving up their children. If that didn't work, we were then lied to and defrauded out of our children (as in my case).

The same agency bribed doctors to tell women that their babies had died and then have the "dead babies" put up for adoption. The agency don't even deny doing this - they say to these women "So what are you going to do about it now?" This happened to my friend Tina who found out by accident last year that her son is alive. She was told by her doctor that her son had died a day after being born, 30 years ago.

We are trying to put together a class action against the CCAS in Toronto. If anyone else has a story of abuse by them, please let me know and e-mail me privately.

The people who did this are STILL in their jobs! (I guess bribery pays well).

None of the money is used for the children. No natural mother receives any money either.

Is it to help children, or to make money? "
