First time here

So, I see people with these blogs just getting out and putting their thoughts in cyberspace. Here is my attempt.

My name is Joy and hence the name of my blog.

I have been in this world for enough years to have some knowledge but maybe just enough to make me dangerous. I train dogs. I am raising a son with the help of my husband. I work full time in a job that I don't particularly like but that I cannot afford to quit.

I think I will use this blog to comment on current events of the day. Whether they be personal happenings or something I hear on the radio or television.

The big thing around here in the past few days (I live in Ottawa) is the abduction of twins by their birth mother from their adoptive parents who have been raising the twins for 17 months since their birth.

I can't believe that people would feel for the birth mother in this case. She decided over several months that giving up these kids would be the best thing to do. How about thinking about the kids in this situation. How would it affect them to be dragged from the only home and parents they have known to give them back to this birth mother who gave them up in the first place. And what if she changes her mind again in another 6 months when she realizes how much work and time these two children will take. Will these two children then be returned to their adoptive parents or would they end up with children's services in foster care.

Once a parent(s) signs a child away they should have no more rights to that child. We have seen kids as old as 4 years torn out of the only home they have ever had because of the legal system deciding a birth parent has more rights than the parents who have raised a child. What is this world coming too.

I will warn everyone reading my posts right now. I am definitely not a bleeding heart liberal. I support Stephen Harper and I voted for Larry O'Brien. I am not politically correct in my language so don't go looking for and euphemisms on my blog.

Stay tuned for more thought and photo's and brags of my son and my three border collies.
