U.S. Catholic and Protestant denominations operated more than 150
boarding schools between the 19th and 20th centuries. Some U.S. churches have been reckoning with this activity for years
through ceremonies, apologies and archival investigations, while others
are just getting started. Some advocates say churches have more work to
do in opening their archives, educating the public about what was done
in the name of their faith and helping former students and their
relatives tell their stories of family trauma.
“We all need to work together on this,” said the Rev. Bradley Hauff, a
Minnesota-based Episcopal priest and missioner for Indigenous Ministries
with the Episcopal Church. “What’s happening in Canada, that’s a wakeup call to us,” said Hauff, who is enrolled with the Oglala Sioux Tribe.

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.
