This document discusses birth mothers who have placed their children for adoption. It argues that birth mothers have a natural curiosity about their children and a desire to know that they are well. Laws were created to protect anonymity, but this assumes birth mothers don't want contact after relinquishment. The document shares stories of four birth mothers who found their children on their own by following their maternal instincts. Their decisions proved correct, with positive outcomes, suggesting instincts should not be ignored. It advocates relaxing laws to allow contact that benefits both adoptees and birth mothers in learning about their origins and reassuring welfare.

Parental journey of lgbt couples and single parentsFemicure
It's a natural need of a living organism to procreate and also an emotional one. Humans spend a considerable amount of time to find a partner and bear children. Along with the evolutionary need, LGBTQ parenting and single parenting is also an emotional journey that every human wants to feel.
Children's interpretation of the abuse, whether or not they disclose the experience, and how quickly they report it also affects the short- and long-term consequences. Children who are able to confide in a trusted adult and who are believed experience less trauma than children who do not disclose the abuse. Furthermore, children who disclose the abuse soon after its occurrence may be less traumatized than those children who live with the secret for years.
I believe that Learning the facts about childhood sexual abuse helps to prevent it.
Talking about it helps to prevent it.
Getting involved helps to prevent it.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

1. They call us birth mothers. We are
women who have given up our
children for adoption. Weare also
called biological mothers. Still oth-
ers call us "natural mothers"-
~
although for many this term is an
affront to the role of an adoptive
mother. I suggest to you that
women who surrender children to
adoption are simply mothers.
In her article "The Inevitable:
Question" (Vol. I, No.2), Susan Kli-
banoff points out that an adopted
child has a need to know his or her
past, genetic history, and roots. I
would like to add that just as the
adopted child is naturally curious
and seeks answers to fill the voids in
his or her past, so, too, is the child's
original mother.
Women who surrender children
to adoption, according to Ms. Kliban-
off, generally do so to provide
them with a better home than the
women themselves can offer. This
is a very self-sacrificing picture of
the mother. It is also true that there
aTe many women who do not sur-
render their children voluntarily.
Some mothers who feel that they
are quite able to provide a good
home are pressured into relinquish-
ing their children by social workers,
parents, and adoption agencies.
Whatever the reason for giving
up their children, however, most
mothers long to know that their
children are all right and are curious
about their circumstances. And in
attempting to satisfy this curiosity,
mothers who have surrendered
childn for adoption are defeated
They Call Us !Birth Mothers
by laws set up to keep adopted
children and their birth parents in
complete ignorance of one another.
These laws were originally in-
tended to protect the anonymity of
mothers who had surrendered their
children, and it was assumed that
once a mother signs relinquishment
papers she never again would want
any knowledge of the child. This is a
cruel and foolish assumption. No
birth mother 1 have ever met
wanted to get her child back or steal
it away from his or her adoptive
parents. But a birth mother does
have a curiosity and a desire for
assurance that her child is well.
Recently there has been much
publicity about adopted children's
right to know their "biological" par-
ents. I can foresee the day when the
law will be changed so as to no
longer deny adult adoptees access
to information about their heritage. i
It is my hope that the same relaxa- i
tion in the law will benefit mothers i
who have seen fit to relinquish i
their children at birth, but who i
need the reassurance of knowing i
their whereabouts and condition. i
Here in New Jersey, within the,
past year, four women, who had
surrendered children to adoption
many years earlier, were able to dis-
cover their children's new identities
and whereabouts. These women
received no help or guidance from
anyone other than each other. They
were even ostracized by such
groups as ALMA (Adoptees Liberty
Movement Association). ALMA
has a strong "over 18" rule-that is,'
parents should not contact children
until the child is over 18. Yet these
four women located their children
during early adolescence. Each had
to decide whether or not to wait
until her child reached 18 or to
pursue her desire at this time. Each
.woman followed her own instincts,
doing things that were considered
radical even to each other. Each
made difficult decisions, often
against the advice of family, friends,
and clergy.
Among the four there were three
different paths taken: two wrote
letters to the adoptive parents, one
telephoned her child directly, and
one went right to the door of the
child's house. It is interesting to
note that in each case the mother's
instincts proved to be right.
The mother who telephoned, did
so because she felt that her daugh-
ter, though only 14, could handle it.
Both the daughter and her parents
have accepted it so well that a visit
will take place this summer. The
one who went directly to the door
did so because she had always had
very strong feelings that something
was drastically wrong. Her fears
were not unfounded. Her child had
been sent away to a boarding school
and was not in contact with his par-
ents. Of the two who wrote letters
to the adoptive parents neither
sensed anything wrong; however,
each also did not feel that every-
thing was fine. They were cautious,
and they found their caution to
have been necessary. In both cases
the adoptive parents were recep-

tive. However, in the first case the
child did not know that he was
adopted. In the other, while the
child knew, she felt uncomfortable
with her adoptive status, and would
leave the room at the mention of
the word. Again the decision was
clearly correct to contact the par-
ents and not the child
Tome these cases clearly indicate
that maternal instincts had to be
still present to guide these women.
It is also interesting to note that the
success rate of these contacts is
much higher than the success rate,
given by ALMA and other groups,
who propose waiting until the child:
is 18.
Just as many adoptees long to
know the truth of their origins, !
whether they ask or not (for so i
many fear hurting their adoptive'
parents with questions), so too does
a birth mother long to know that
her child is all right, whether or not
she actively searches for him or her.
Far from wanting to disrupt the
lives of their children, women'-are
realizing that to wait or to do
nothing is not always the best solu-
tion. Those who have had their
worst fears confirmed are the best
able to testify to the fact that had
they not followed their instincts
!
and acted against all of the tradi- i
tional taboos, their children's wel- i
fare would have suffered, and they i
would never had been able to for-
give themselves for having waited. .
