It
was the early hours of August 3rd, 2001, in Edmonton, Alberta, when
fire crews responded to a dumpster blaze behind a central apartment
building. Once the flames were out, they made a horrifying discovery —
the burned remains of a young woman.
For nearly two
weeks, investigators worked to find out who she was. They canvassed
hundreds of apartments and narrowed their search to a short list of
missing women. Dental records would confirm the victim was 18-year-old
Patricia Calahasen.
What police uncovered next was a
story of trust betrayed, a violent assault, and a desperate attempt to
destroy the evidence. The person responsible was just 17 years old. But
for Patricia’s family, the fight for justice has lasted decades.

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.
