Operation Papoose 1964

The inventor of the INDIAN ADOPTION PROJECT, Arnold Lyslo, went to Florida to set-up a new Adoption Agency for Indians, calling it OPERATION PAPOOOSE - this article was published in the Miami News on July 25, 1964 - saying that "...INDIAN children will be much easier to adopt than white children..."... the devastation Lyslo created is still being felt across Indian Country.

"The children come in all ages sizes and hues"
Hues? fuck them.
Indian children are good for older couples who are rejected to adopt?
fuck them again. I am a white adoptee and this article makes me SICK. You are awesome to have found this Trace. It is good ammunition for the ICWA because it proves just how prejudiced some idiots (still) are.

ADOPTION TRUTH

As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
