In 1975, thousands of babies were daringly airlifted from the Vietnam war
Some of those involved in ‘Operation Babylift’ recall the events – and what happened to the children after.

It's more like "listen to some adoptee voices but not others." I am literally amplifying the voices of infant and child adoptees who are being killed and I'm silenced for it. Silencing me is silencing them. How sick is it there are adoptees advocating for an industry that kills infant adoptees.

🥚 Deeply needed publication by my friend Chiền Binh Nhỏ Sơn on the therapeutic needs of queer transracial adoptees. Brava!
“Transracial adoptees raised by Christian adoptive parents who hold homophobic beliefs may experience heterosexism and/or cissexism from their parents, in addition to racism.”

We are now less than 2700 signatures away from a badly needed Westminster debate on decriminalising abortion. We could hit the threshold today! There are more court hearings coming NEXT MONTH. No more punishment for pregnancy outcomes petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...
Petition: Decriminalise Abortion
I am calling on the UK government to remove abortion from criminal law so that no pregnant person can be criminalised for procuring their own abortion.

Let's rally around this fellow adoptee and remind Jonah that he's not alone.
Let's affirm to him that his life matters.

I speak up on behalf of these victims. I've come to understand what they have been through. It's wrong and needs to stop. No more victims. No more deaths. The truth may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for many, but it cannot be suppressed or denied forever, it must be acknowledged. #adoptees

🧾 And here's some trivia for us: "Many orphan train children went to live with families that placed orders specifying age, gender, and hair and eye color. Others were paraded from the depot into a local playhouse, where they were put up on stage, thus the origin of the term 'up for adoption.'"
The Adoption History Project is a good source. Wikipedia looks good too: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphan_...

The human trafficking industry has used adoption propaganda to commit war crimes, genocides, and other crimes against humanity, yet people still want to keep it going. Its as if they are oblivious to the reality of just how devastating this industry has been on human history, even now.
