For brevity’s sake I’ll take issue with only one example of Rosemary
McLeod’s hysterical hyperbole (Bad look for a good cause, June 1),
prompted by Germaine Greer deserting the cause.
Giving children up for adoption does not cause “lifelong pain all round”.
And McLeod herself may be causing pain to women who heroically sacrificed their
child to people unable to have children of their own.
I know one whose mother - who was anything but “casually callous” -
organised an adoption. My friend’s child is now not only a beautiful daughter to
her adoptive parents, but after contacting her birth mother to invite her to her
wedding has since doubled the size and happiness of the whole whanau.
Germaine Greer is far too intelligent to wallow in recrimination and
resentment over real or imagined abuse. Instead, she’s a passionate gardener.
Perhaps McLeod could follow suit.
