I was a baby that was stolen by the church with the consent of the Government at the Kate Cocks Home. I have no past, and no identity. The Government burnt all of the records in the 1980’s, so I can not ever find out who I am. Who will stand up for the rights of the forced adoptees and their mother’s who had their babies ripped away from them!! Babies that were stolen by Doctors, so that married infertile couples could have children (stolen children).
Adoption is a torture that should not be condoned or encouraged. My life with my adopted parents was a nightmare for me and my adopted brother.
I’ve read the statements from adoptees which I have no experience. I would think that it’s people who have direct experience of adoption should be the ones discussing policies on it. It is clearly a very difficult and traumatic process. As a step-parent with a step-child in kinship care I’d be devastated. With so many child protection issues I’m tired of the secrecy, lack of transparency and accountability that doesn’t serve the public interest.
Adoption is not a child protection policy ! Adoption completely severs all family ties, if you were to listen to let’s say 300 adult adopted persons voices you would find out that adoption has been sold as an amazing fairytale. Suggest read the federal apology March 21st 2013. There are thousands of adopted persons trying to share this information but are being shut down. Why do you only hear good adoption stories when the facts are 8 out of 10 adopted persons have been abused. Children need to be cared for not owned.
1. Difference between foster care and Adoption is in Adoption severs you legally from biological family
2. Absolutely was just talking to a victim, an Adoptee whose adoption failed and found himself rehomed to a catholic institution
3. Suicide rates for Adoptees is up to 4 x the general population – who knows what the rate is for sexually abused persons
As an Adoptee with lived experience I am extremely disappointed that you would so naively advocate for adoption – I have two birth certificates – 0ne real one and one “Fake” Fabricated Birth Certificate that says I was born to Adoptive parents – what a delusional lie, designed to deceive. I have lost all – Loving me to the moon and back would never replace my biological family, my history , my culture, my identity, my vital family medical history – Adoption is a breach of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child – put simply Adoption is child abuse which scars the child then the adult, then inter-generational – my children & grandchildren are affected by my adoption – I cannot believe you could condone stealing a child then adults identity – there are many alternatives to Adoption – I have a foster child who has been in my care for nearly 9 years, I care so much for that child I would never traumatise them by Adoption, they have a biological family, they would never want my surname, they have their own.They would never want to be severed from their siblings and family for life. Adoption is a life sentence. At 62 I am still controlled by the Adoption Act under which I am still defined as a child – rethink this I am happy to discuss this at length if you are really concerned with the known long term effects of adoption
