Adoption History 101: An Orphan's Research

LIMITED EDITION VERSION Did you know that adopted individuals have been refused the right to adoption documents that could lead them back to their family if they so choose, and the industry allows for families to be exploited by self-professed authorities on the topic who claim to know "the best interest for [other people's] children"?Janine's research into the history of adoption was motivated by Adoptionland: From Orphans to Activists, a collective of global adoptee voices and the Adoption Truth & Transparency, a worldwide network found on Facebook. This ground-breaking book explains how adoption trafficking has permanently severed family relationships from decades past, to today, and will continue to do so into the future if the global population is not armed and on guard in the effort to protect innocent children from unnecessary removal from one's own family. We now know that the global push for adoption exploited mothers worldwide. Adoption History 101 summarizes the inception and expansion of the adoption industry, focusing on its roots and consequences kept from public awareness. For years, facilitators have denied adoptees access to documents that could lead them back to their families. In defense of the rights of adopted people, a true Ethiopian orphan briefly speaks her mind about adoption. Then, going back in time, the attention shifts from African adoptions (what's been trending) to the 1954 Evangelical Baby “Swoop” Era, to the 1854 Orphan Train Movement, and finally to the European Child Migration Schemes. This research supports those who have ever felt isolated due to the industry’s privacy and lack of transparency. Taken children—now adults—are critiquing a global human-made market. This orphan’s perspective is meant to inform vulnerable communities against a fierce industry that professes God is on their side. It is only natural for Mother-Nature to recover itself. This research is motivated by a Haitian adoptee who died of heart failure after learning that he had been trafficked to France for overseas adoption but was never able to acquire justice due to the public's love affair with the practice. This short book deconstructs the industry and acknowledges the families left behind. The first history book to point out the crisis of adoption trafficking.Specifically researched for adoptees, families of birth, parents left behind and human rights advocates accused of being "anti-adoption" when we strive to reconnect families. Tired of the way those who perpetuate adoption love and adore adoption so much so that they tend to ignore the crisis of human rights violations and adoption trafficking? Bothered by the abuse of less fortunate mothers and fathers who are pushed off to the side so that agencies and orphanages can send children overseas for a profit? Disapprove of the way beneficiaries accuse you of being anti-adoption when truthfully you’re more informed and aware than most? If you are a realist, you will most likely find value in this book.
