Origins-USA is a national organization that focuses on advocating for mothers who had to relinquish their child into adoption. They are categorized s being a completely non-profit organization that functions off of volunteers and donations. When reading through their site it is clear where they stand and that they run off of their passionate empathy for women faced with pressure to relinquish their child. They take a strong stance beside original birth –mothers in a war between original mothers and the government painted as being extremely coercive. Origins-USA believes many adoptions happen primarily because of the birth mother being uninformed of their options.
Their site is formatted in a way that provides any visitor with all the resources and information they can possible need to make an informed decision unlike the shady governments environment for women considering adoption. The site provides factual information, a place to read or share your own adoption story, and even details of how to get involved with Origins-USA. This open website format goes right in line with their goal of ultimately bringing awareness to the world about the truth behind the adoption process.
Origins- USA also has a presence in the media besides their site. An example is vividly seen in the public support given to reuniting the children and families after a natural disaster separated families.. They were strongly against the families in America merely adopting these children instead of reuniting them with their original family. This instance demonstrates the strong anti-adoption tone throughout the organization. They pretty openly speak about how they feel like giving up a child to adoption is fundamentally wrong.
My criticism of this organization leans on that extremely biased perspective. There is so much emphasis on the birth mom and her rights to not give up the child that they completely reject the idea that adoption is often good for a child. In fact, they almost completely ignore a child’s perspective on the matter.
