Interesting to see @aljazeera.com posting US war propaganda with a sprinkle of #adoption propaganda on top. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

In 1975, thousands of babies were daringly airlifted from the Vietnam war
Some of those involved in ‘Operation Babylift’ recall the events – and what happened to the children after.

U.N. Committee Calls For An End To Centuries-Old Practice Of 'Baby Boxes'
The committee says that allowing parents to anonymously abandon newborns only encourages the practice. But others say it saves lives by preventing infanticide.

It's more like "listen to some adoptee voices but not others." I am literally amplifying the voices of infant and child adoptees who are being killed and I'm silenced for it. Silencing me is silencing them. How sick is it there are adoptees advocating for an industry that kills infant adoptees.

I wish every therapist would read this new article. "While there is little current research specific to adoptees who are LGBTIA+, there is growing research on multiple minority stress and people who are both Black, Indigenous, People Of Color (BIPOC)/People of the Global Majority and LGBTQIA+." 🥚

Petition: Decriminalise Abortion
I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

I speak up on behalf of these victims. I've come to understand what they have been through. It's wrong and needs to stop. No more victims. No more deaths. The truth may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for many, but it cannot be suppressed or denied forever, it must be acknowledged. #adoptees

🧾 And here's some trivia for us: "Many orphan train children went to live with families that placed orders specifying age, gender, and hair and eye color. Others were paraded from the depot into a local playhouse, where they were put up on stage, thus the origin of the term 'up for adoption.'"

The human trafficking industry has used adoption propaganda to commit war crimes, genocides, and other crimes against humanity, yet people still want to keep it going. Its as if they are oblivious to the reality of just how devastating this industry has been on human history, even now.

This is the most bullying behaviour I have seen lately by a wanna be adopter….a self proclaimed pastors wife who should know better. No one “ deserves” a baby …especially another woman’s child.

Today, Jan. 21, 2025, is the 90th anniversary of California's sealed birth certificate bill, the day it was introduced in the legislature.🤯 The good news is that adoptee activists are talking to legislators about a bill to reverse it. Here's an image of the 1935 bill. See especially lines 10 and 11.
This is the text of California's Assembly Bill 390, from 1935, as amended. The new language will read "All records and information specified in this section, other than the birth certificate to be issued hereunder, shall be available upon the order of a court of record." The bill shows text to be stricken from the law. It previously read "...shall be available to no person other than the child, foster parent, natural parent, or upoin the order of a court of record." 

The "birth certificate to be issued hereunder" referred to the amended birth certificate that includes only the names of the adoptive parents. 

This text is from page 56 of the book "Growing in the Dark: Adoption Secrecy and Its Consequences" by Janine M. Baer (2004).

🥚 “more than a dozen counts that include forced labor, civil rights violations, human trafficking, gross child neglect” Can’t understand why people choose to adopt kids just to abuse them? It’s because you’ve been propagandized with adoption-so-beautiful mythology. This story is not exceptional.

"As adoptees, aka victims & commodities, seeking the truth of what has happened to us must be the first step. Identifying the problem is necessary in deprogramming ourselves from the industry’s propaganda...It’s time we all see the industry which has built a multibillion-dollar trafficking scheme."

Transracial adoption is the ultimate diversity hire. Just like adoption has been used as a racist tool to control, erase and oppress, it has also been used to appear including and non-racist. The transracial adoptee performs the role of the token diversity hire, whilst being forced to assimilate. 🥚

The machinery of transferring babies/children to strangers for #adoption is older than most realize. In Ontario, adoptions were originally processed under the Guardianship Act. By 1921, the Adoption Act was created, relieving the Children's Aid Society (CAS) of certain responsibilities. 1/2

How to manufacture a supply of unwanted babies: Ban abortion; send unwed pregnant women to institutions where they provide labor, can’t leave, and are required to surrender their infants as a precondition for food, shelter, and medical care; seal records and birth certificates to prevent reunions.🥚

"Right now, there is a huge push toward foster care. From a mental health perspective, some are engaging in a rescuer victim-relationship with their foster or adopted children: 'I will be a rescuer to these victim children, and I'll do God's work and they will be thankful and have few problems.' "
"At that time, we truly believed that love and fresh air would help any child thrive," she says now. "We were obviously clueless about trauma. Our son had lost his family and had seen his mother die in a horrific manner."

On the adoption circuit, a much rosier picture was being painted. A 2000 piece in "Today's Christian Woman" magazine – while mentioning attachment disorder and the adverse effects of orphanages – cheerfully concluded that "most adopted children acclimate very well, both emotionally and developmentally."

At the time, American adoptions comprised half of all adoptions worldwide, says Barna, and the majority of those adopted were children of color.

In a thorough piece on the "adoption fever" that swept through churches, investigative reporter Kathryn Joyce, writing for Mother Jones magazine, noted the "explicitly Christian" tone of one-quarter of the 201 agencies listed with the U.S. State Department. A greater percentage partnered with evangelical groups or broadly hinted of religious connections on their web sites.
