Adoption is a permanent solution to what is usually a temporary situation. Yet pro adopters will promote adoption as a ‘forever family’. With 50% of marriages ending in divorce. With adopters unable to deal with unrelated children and rehoming them. With the number of abused and murdered adoptees the notion of forever families is just another ploy to tear biological families apart forever!

Friends of Adoption, let’s change rules before tackling attitudes

Adoption is a form of modern day slavery. The fake birth certificate is the deed of ownership held by strangers to attest to the falsity that this child belongs to no one other than them. The child has been commodified and his or her ownership passed on to those who can afford to take possession. Robert Ludbrook, human rights lawyer, gave evidence to the Australian govt back in 1994 stating that adoption law was written like property law

Lynelle Lomg commented about the above article on FB:

Awesome to see one voice in Australian mainstream media who can share the views of many adoptees … it is such a battle in media when you have to compete with those from AdoptChange and their celebrity status with all the power and money they have behind them .. their latest “fundraising initiative” is backed by Australia’s richest woman and tickets are $270 for a seat or $2.6k for a table! If only they would stand up for Child’s Rights instead of Adoption First then they might actually start to represent the true problem behind our vulnerable children crisis. AdoptChange is not supported by most of intercountry adoptive parent orgs in Australia either .. yet their opinions and views are never sought either.

The research I conducted for my thesis revealed that ALL the mothers who had their newborns permanently removed to provide a family for infertile couples had either attempted suicide , suffered suicidal ideation, put themselves in high risk situations, self harmed, got into abusive relationships or knew of mothers who had successfully suicided. A high proportion never went on to have further children. When many adoptees finally gained the right to meet their mothers many were disappointed to find ‭they had died early.

Australia’s Catholic Church has rejected calls for priests to be compelled to report child abuse revealed in confessionals.
