In Indian School Road, journalist Chris Benjamin tackles the
controversial and tragic history of the Shubenacadie Indian Residential
School, its predecessors, and its lasting effects, giving voice to
multiple perspectives for the first time. Benjamin integrates research,
interviews, and testimonies to guide readers through the varied
experiences of students, principals, and teachers over the school’s
nearly forty years of operation (1930–1967) and beyond. Exposing the raw
wounds of Truth and Reconciliation as well as the struggle for an
inclusive Mi’kmaw education system, Indian School Road is a
comprehensive and compassionate narrative history of the school that
uneducated hundreds of Aboriginal children.

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.
Diane Tells His Name
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

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.
