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.

You are not alone

You are not alone

To Veronica Brown

Veronica, we adult adoptees are thinking of you today and every day. We will be here when you need us. Your journey in the adopted life has begun, nothing can revoke that now, the damage cannot be undone. Be courageous, you have what no adoptee before you has had; a strong group of adult adoptees who know your story, who are behind you and will always be so.

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.

Why tribes do not recommend the DNA swab

Rebecca Tallbear entitled: “DNA, Blood, and Racializing the Tribe”, bearing out what I only inferred:

Detailed discussion of the Bering Strait theory and other scientific theories about the population of the modern-day Americas is beyond the scope of this essay. However, it should be noted that Indian people have expressed suspicion that DNA analysis is a tool that scientists will use to support theories about the origins of tribal people that contradict tribal oral histories and origin stories. Perhaps more important,the alternative origin stories of scientists are seen as intending to weaken tribal land and other legal claims (and even diminish a history of colonialism?) that are supported in U.S. federal and tribal law. As genetic evidence has already been used to resolve land conflicts in Asian and Eastern European countries, this is not an unfounded fear.
