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.

I think I may have posted this link before, I don't recall:http://www.politicalresearch.org/2014/02/23/the-adoption-crunch-the-christian-right-and-the-challenge-to-indian-sovereignty/#sthash.an9vnIyW.dpbs
ReplyDeleteThe article from 2 years ago talks about adoption and the political alignment of some right wing Christian groups & other conservatives to destroy ICWA - apparently to both get more babies for hte adoption industry as well as break tribal sovereignty. I think the Pages have become aligned with these groups too. Their church pushes some sort of 'adoption ministry' (raise orphans for our version of the baby Jesus!) and they slam ICWA on their websites.
Thank you - you are correct. It's been going on a long time.
