Indigenous Children Forced Adoption: 2021 | Even More Children Than In The Residential School System

Remember it was expensive to run the residential schools, so their next plan was (closed) adoptions that were cheaper and more permanent.  Our records were sealed.  We disappear... The Indian Adoption Projects and ARENA (Adoption Resource Exchange of America and Canada) were cultural genocide... intentional moving children from the Canada to the US and vice versa.

Did you know Indigenous children in Canada endured more than just Indian residential schools during the stolen children era? Indeed, they did.  In fact, for over a century, the Canadian government used several school models to try to assimilate Indigenous children.

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.
