Child-buying masquerading as adoption in Oklahoma, panel told #Adoption #HumanTrafficking

At one time adoption was about finding parents for orphans. Not anymore. Stranger Adoption is about finding children or babies for people who wish to buy one, conducted and advanced by social workers, judges, lawyers and adoption agencies whose livelihood and income depend on it. Remember this is a billion dollar industry! When money is exchanged, babies are product, with a dollar value. Yet rarely is adoption called human trafficking. We can recall Baby Veronica to understand trafficking is still happening in 2013/2014. We know the older infertile Capobiancos paid money for Veronica Brown...It's a disgrace on humanity. Trace


OKLAHOMA CITY — The selling of children is masquerading as adoption in Oklahoma, a House panel was told Wednesday.

Many of the children are placed out of state, making them difficult to track, said Holly Towers, president of the Oklahoma Adoption Coalition and executive director of Lilyfield Christian Adoption and Foster Care in Edmond.
She was one of the presenters during an interim study on human trafficking by the House Public Safety Committee.
“We get calls from women who say they placed a child for adoption with an attorney,” Towers said. “The adoptive parents have paid rent, refurnished the apartment and given her a car. Now the payments have stopped.”
The women are facing eviction and want to know what they can do, Towers said.
“The answer is nothing,” she said. “These women have been set up to be homeless.”
Some fees are allowed, such as those for living and medical expenses, she said.
But in some cases, women expecting are offered outright cash for their children, which is illegal, Towers said.
Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics Director Darrell Weaver said that several years ago, his agency began monitoring human trafficking.
A significant portion of those involved in human trafficking have been involved in drug trafficking, Weaver said.
His agency has seen an increase in the number of heroin addicts who become trafficking victims, Weaver said.
The problem is not isolated to Oklahoma City or the metropolitan areas, Weaver said.
“Drug traffickers are shifting from drugs to human trafficking,” he said. “The profit margins are so much higher.”
If the state can save one person from trafficking, it will be worth it, Weaver said.
“The one may just be somebody you love,” he said.
Sen. Sean Roberts, R-Hominy, requested the study and said some good ideas came out of the information gathered.

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.

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.

GOOGLE

In some cases, companies may even take it upon themselves to control the narrative according to their own politics and professed values, with no need for government intervention. For example: Google, the most powerful information company in the world, has been reported to fix its algorithms to promote, demote, and disappear content according to undisclosed internal “fairness” guidelines. This was revealed by a whistleblower named Zach Vorhies in his almost completely ignored book, Google Leaks, and by Project Veritas, in a sting operation against Jen Gennai, Google’s Head of Responsible Innovation. In their benevolent desire to protect us from hate speech and disinformation, Google/YouTube immediately removed the original Project Veritas video from the Internet. - https://desultoryheroics.com/2023/11/12/internet-censorship-everywhere-all-at-once
