NEW: An Atlanta-area crisis pregnancy center has raked in more than $1 million from an unusual source: the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CPC is opening a maternity home, worrying advocates that residents may be coerced into relinquishing children for adoption.

Heute Vormittag kamen Nachrichten aus dem Iran und in den Iran durch, teilweise waren Video-Anrufe möglich.
Eine Freundin schrieb mir nur kurz: Sie sei bei den Protesten gewesen, viele ihrer Freund:innen seien getötet worden. Sie sei tagelang blutgeschmiert gewesen. „Überall Blut“. Sie sei okay.

If I say I no longer want adoption to exist and that causes you to froth at the mouth and bare your tiger teeth, I respectfully ask you to question your response to my statement rather than attack me.

Seriously. Why are you so angry? Examine your defensiveness before you "try to understand."

"Sweden should ban international adoption and apologise after thousands of children were illegally and unethically taken from their home countries including South Korea, Colombia, China and Sri Lanka over several decades, a government inquiry has found."

She grew up believing she was a U.S. citizen. Then she applied for a passport
Among those fearful of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown are adoptees who grew up thinking they were U.S. citizens — only to find out years later, in adulthood, they're not.

history shows that stealing children and handing them out as gifts to adopters is what autocrats, despots, and juntas do. naturally, the fascists who rule us choose to be complicit. 🥚

all #adopted people were forced as children, with no guidance from anyone, to write parts for themselves in other people’s plays.

Wichtige Recherche von Exif: Der Täter von #Mannheim war offenbar Teil der von Neonazis angeführten Reichsbürger-Gruppe "Ring Bund". Eine rechtsextreme Tatmotivation MUSS im jetzt Fokus der Ermittlungen stehen! Erneut wurde es frühzeitig ausgeschlossen. Ein Skandal.

Hey #adopteesky

Let's rally around this fellow adoptee and remind Jonah that he's not alone.

Let's affirm to him that his life matters.

Let's show him that the adoptee community supports him!
