And I finally weigh in on Anita Tedaldi
I’m late to the party but that’s because I’ve been mulling it over and doing a little background research.
Better late than never, though. So, I’ve begun over here.
There will be more.

I wrote a little “Atta Girl Aaryn!” post about your WC post yesterday. Atta Girl Aaryn!
Somehow this story had completely escaped my radar. Thank you for your analysis on WC and your equally well thought-out argument in the comments on the original nytimes essay. If my failings as mother, as a human being, were as large as this woman’s, only my private friends would know hoe self-congratulatory I was. She has come to the public asking for redemption. The only person who may, or should, decide to give it to her is an adult David, who hopefully will grow up to be a balanced, happy, and fulfilled human being, despite all of the obstacles–public and private–this woman has created for him.
I saw your comment at the NYT as I was leaving mine. Once again, thank you for being such a clear and articulate voice for many of us who were at a loss.
I was angry that she opted to end the adoption, then again, I am relieved this child is out of that woman’s care. I was stuck on the fact that her daughters were so indifferent- whose fault is that??
I imagine if one of her precious ‘real’ children had issues she would rather die than relinquish. I usually try not to judge people but I am judging this person without apology.
I am thinking of this, and reading this blog post [1] about another disruption, and it is all making my heart ache in ways I can’t really untangle. Thank you for helping me sort out some of my thoughts.
