"With life's depradations, perpetrated against the vulnerable, the Great
Mystery is raising an amazing group of whom I coin '
Warrior Survivors'.
As the chief of the Turtle Island Warrior Society, and advocate for
Sky, Earth and All In Between, I also stand with these Survivor Warriors
in what in all reality is a battle against the crimes of abuse
perpetrated by those whom we are supposed to trust. In my journeys, I
met such a warrior. Her name is Annie O'Sullivan; an extraordinary human
being, with Sacred Fire which burns in her. Annie tells her story
eloquently, bringing readers, or listeners, to a place and time beyond
one's own realities. She takes us successfully out of the comfort zone,
and into a world of such cruel reality as to make it virtually
experiential. Yet, through the truth of her ordeals, this Warrior
Survivor shines with strength, power and hope - not just for herself -
but for all who have been through literal hell on Earth. It is a great
honor to know Annie, and I know that through her story, you will come to
know - and honor her - too." —Chief David Little Eagle, The Turtle
Island Warrior Society
Adoptee Annie O’Sullivan was born in the New England area. Growing up in a
military family she travelled much of the US with her family as they
followed her father’s military career. Soon after graduating from high
school she left to serve in the USMC. While on active duty she married
had two children attained the rank of Sergeant and ultimately entered
therapy. In the end Annie would log ten years of counseling, private,
group and hospitalization.

Did you know?
New York’s 4o-year battle for OBC access ended when on January 15 2020, OBCs were opened to all New York adoptees upon request without restriction. In only three days, over 3,600 adoptees filed for their record of birth. The bill that unsealed records was passed 196-12.
Canada's Residential Schools
The religious organizations that operated the schools — the Anglican Church of Canada, Presbyterian Church in Canada, United Church of Canada, Jesuits of English Canada and some Catholic groups —
in 2015 expressed regret for the “well-documented” abuses. The Catholic Church has never offered an official apology, something that Trudeau and others have repeatedly called for.
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.
