TWO WORLDS contributor publishes memoir!
Susan Fedorko had always
known she was put up for adoption before she was even a year old. And she had
always known she was Native American. But when she turned eighteen, she felt the
need to know more about herself. She received some information about her birth
parents through the adoption agency, but there was so little to go on. She gave
up her search many times. For the next twenty years Susie was busy with marriage
and motherhood. Finally, in 2002 and at the age of forty, she received the phone
call that would change her life. Someone was looking to find her. And what she
discovered was astonishing. Susan’s birth mother was the first Native American
supermodel, Cathee Dahmen—an international fashion model with two celebrity
marriages under her belt—and her great uncle was the famed Native American
artist, George Morrison. Cricket is the incredible story of one woman’s journey
to discover her roots and define her place in a newly complex and extended
family—with her adoptive family, her birth family, and her husband and
daughters. It’s the story of who she was “before,” who she became “after,” and
how it all happened.

We conclude this series & continue the conversation by naming that adoption is genocide. This naming refers to the process of genocide that breaks kinship ties through adoption & other forms of family separation & policing 🧵#NAAM2022#AdoptionIsTraumaAND#AdopteeTwitter#FFY 1/6 pic.twitter.com/46v0mWISZ1
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.
