• Since the NCFA is one of Mr. Snyder's "coalition," if he would like the 1983 report presented to the NCFA at one of their conventions on "Birth Mothers" and confidentiality, I would be more than happy to send it to him. Theoretical researchers in that report, which was later professionally published as an article in 1985, stated that "confidentiality" in adoption served to keep a "Birth Mother" from interferring in the adopted child's developmental stages and also keeping her from preventing the Adoptive Parents from bonding with the child. Not once was "confidentiality" mentioned as a benefit to her to protect her from her own flesh and blood. The NCFA is a very selective historian of adoption, "Birth Mother's" rights, and the origins of confidential adoptions.
