Adoption is not the witness protection program. There is no need to change and conceal a child’s identity — especially from the child.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialAdoption is not the witness protection program. There is no need to change and conceal a child’s identity — especially from the child.
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialStop justifying an adoptee’s need or desire to know their family information and instead name this as abuse that this information was ever taken from them.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialAdoptee birth certificates are modeled from a crime.
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialFor many adoptees our birth certificate is the document that was used to sign away our human rights. #adopteerights #humanrights
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialYou cannot give someone a child because they want to be a parent - that’s not a gift, that’s human trafficking. #childrights #humanrights #adopteerights
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialEveryone is born with a birthright to know who they are. Tragedies happen that cause people to search for their identity and family — in adoption, it’s done to them on purpose. You don’t do this to someone on purpose. It’s cruel.

@thoughtlessdel.bsky.socialI asked AI to run game theory on the adoption industry.
Not “is adoption good or bad?”
Who gets paid? Who has power? Who has information?
The math doesn’t care about intentions. It cares who gets paid — and for what.
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialA child’s need for care can be fully met without hiding and rewriting who that child is.
So there was never a reason to rewrite my identity. There was only a choice to.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialTragedies happen that make people wonder what happened to their family and search for them. This is done to adoptees on purpose. It’s so cruel because the answers we search for are right there but they sealed. You don’t do this to someone on purpose.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialThe state had the right to make sure I was cared for. It did not have the right to erase that little girl who was born, permanently rewrite my life and identity, seal it, and make me beg for my own information.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialThe problem isn’t that adoptees are angry - the problem is that everyone else is not angry that we were erased and our lives permanently altered.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.social“The state didn't just allow the lie — it issued the document that made the lie possible.”

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialA decision was made when I was an infant. A signature severed me from my family. A signature let my birth certificate be falsified. A signature sealed the truth.
There is no signature I can add to take any of it back.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialChildren are taught not to lie. We tell them the truth matters. Many of us were told lying is a sin.
For a lot of adoptees, the first people to lie to us were our own parents. And our own state.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialChild welfare means honoring and respecting the child — not permanently changing their life and identity.
