Adoptionland
Ever wondered what it's like to be adopted? This anthology begins with personal accounts and then shifts to a bird's eye view on adoption from domestic, intercountry and transracial adoptees who are now adoptee rights activists. Along with adopted people, this collection also includes the voices of mothers and a father from the Baby Scoop Era, a modern-day mother who almost lost her child to adoption, and ends with the experience of an adoption investigator from Against Child Trafficking. These stories are usually abandoned by the very industry that professes to work for the "best interest of children," "child protection," and for families. However, according to adopted people who were scattered across nations as children, these represent typical human rights issues that have been ignored for too long. For many years, adopted people have just dealt with such matters alone, not knowing that all of us—as a community—have a great deal in common.
Adoption Stories
You've probably heard numerous positive happily-ever-after adoption stories, but did you know there are people deprived of God-given inherent and natural human rights? These individuals live an entire lifetime of never being given access to the truth or their origin, like access to their biological families, nor are they given legal access to their ancestry due to the laws spearheaded and reformed by what has become a 20+ billion dollar "Adoption and Child Welfare" industry. Instead, religious authorities want overseas adoptees to curtsy and smile for the camera and be grateful, or else they accuse us of being angry or "unable to bond." But how many thank yous do they want? This mini-book has been compiled to support the current adoptee rights movement.
The Unknown Culture Club
At last, after sixty years of adoption profiteering, these narratives paint a true portrait of adoption--from the back door--by those most affected. This collection, compiled by Korean adoptees, serves as a tribute to transracially adopted people sent all over the world. It has been hailed to be the first book to give Korean adoptees the opportunity to speak freely since the pioneering of intercountry adoption after the Korean War. If you were adopted, you are not alone. These stories validate the experiences of all those who have been ridiculed or outright abused but have found the will to survive, thrive, and share their tale. Adopted people all over the world are reclaiming the right to t...
