The Baby Trade : Where There is Crushing Poverty in the Third World and a Baby Shortage in the First, Children Become a Commodity SUZANNE LIPPS, slim and striking in a strapless blue swimsuit, raises her new baby high in joy against a fiery opal sky.

From 1990.
The story and language used by adopters/kidnappers is so disturbing.

Oh you mean a well funded foster system that doesn't require a child to call strangers mom & dad. Cool. Let's do that. 🥚

#AbolishAdoption

Adoption leaves trafficked children to indefinitely cosplay family for the emotional benefit of their purchasers.
All the while demanding gratitude from said adoptees for the trauma of motherloss and identity erasure. 🥚

I'm so sorry that happened to your friend, and it's terrible that this is not uncommon. #AbolishAdoption

This 100%.

Adoption is human trafficking. The family policing system takes kids from struggling families and gives them to rich folx who feel like they have a right to buy other people's children, and makes billions of dollars for the adoption industry traffickers along the way. #AbolishAdoption 🥚

Just got blocked for saying adoption is human trafficking. Troubling when the oppressed wish to emulate their oppressors in the exploitation of infants and children instead of standing up for human rights. 🥚

Nuance? Adoption is the privileged purchasing real people (kids of the marginalized) & legally erasing their identity in order to cosplay family. Perhaps oppose trafficking over "homophobia is restricting my ability to buy people"? 🥚 #AbolishAdoption #AdoptionIsHumanTrafficking

Book | Alan J. Dettlaff Confronting the Racist Legacy of the American Child Welfare System: The Case for Abolition by Alan J. Dettlaff, author and abolitionist

Adoption is human trafficking based in colonial racism and classism. Child Protection Services (Family Policing) disproportionately removes BIPOC children per the same classist, racist ideology. 🥚

Blocked for speaking out against human trafficking! I regret I didn't screenshot the exchange.

Extracted? The point of the article is that Brown and Bongiovi adopted an infant. Adoption is human trafficking. 🥚 #AdoptionIsTrauma #AbolishAdoption #adopteesky

These are great ideas that will help people keep their babies & afford life in general 🥚 #abolishadoption

I hate all of it. 🥚💔

I’m struggling. I want to make rage against the system content about adoption but I don’t want to talk about it after I post except with fellow adoptees. That feels unfair and wrong. Mostly I want to get a job at Gofundme so I can nix the adoption begging. #abolishadoption #adoptioniswrong

Tweet: whenever I'm with my kids in a social situation, I'm amazed at how similarly wired we are. The novelty of being around genetic mirrors has still not worn off.

This post from the other place by @notalegalrecord.net put words to my precise feelings for my daughters. Raised without any genetic mirrors, this realization hit hard enough for a screenshot. 🥚

I'm only halfway through episode one. Respect (or disrespect?) to production choices - international adoptee narrator, ww vlogger in her flat brim hat crying about infertility through lip filler. A chef's kiss of exploitative documentary film making. 🥚

MONSTROUS by @smyercomics.bsky.social has arrived! I'm excited to give it a read. 🥚

ASYMMETRY IS HEREDITARY.
I grew up thinking it was a problem but it’s completely normal. I thought that something was deeply wrong with me because of a lack of genetic mirroring and conversations around these topics.

This is offensive & unethical. With the comment section fully of praise for these human traffickers. Yuck. 🥚

I'm kinda tired of posting "adoption is human trafficking," over & over, and then I read crap like this... Ugh 🙄 🥚
