We honor those adoptees we've lost too soon. We remember those who died by suicide, those killed or harmed by their adoptive parents or caretakers, those adoptees without citizenship who have been deported to their birth countries and are trying to survive...and those who didn't.
Late discovery Michigan adoptee learns he is the son of rock and roll hall of fame legend Dennis Thompson of MC5. Adoptees deserve to know where they come from, a right denied to many in Michigan. freep.com/story/entertai…
Watch @60Minutes, Oct. 13th for, The Vatican's Orphans. How the Vatican got into the orphan business is the subject of a new book, "The Price of Children". Bill Whitaker speaks to author Maria Laurino on adoptees still struggling with the separation from their birth families. 💔
Board members of AAOM were interviewed about what Michigan adoptees are working on collectively. Thanks to Ande Stanley of 'The Adoption Files' for providing us with the opportunity. #adopteerights podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ado…
Even though an adopted person may not look like they’re searching, they are always searching. @SuzanneBachner tackles this in her talk, “Searching Through Story: Freedom, Fantasy & The Adoptee Imagination” on 11/8 at 1:15pm CST for the @aka_tx Conference! Register at link in bio.
In July I talked with @jkwondobbs and @RyanGustafsson about their work and the cases they and more than 350 others have pursued with the Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Here's the just released podcast episode. adopteesunited.org/podcast-truth-…
