Adoption is Not A Part Of God’s Plan


People who adopt say it’s God’s plan for them to adopt. But, they almost never say that God’s plan is for them NOT to have children. This is just one of the many ways people use religion to justify human trafficking. 


I found out, through an archived article, that I was trafficked by the Church through the One Church, One Child movement which operates in 32 states. 

What we discussed 


(00:22) Is adoption God’s plan? 

(04:23) Forcing adoptees to go to church OR “Go to church or leave”

(11:53) Making adoptees mini versions of them  

(13:04) Telling my adoptive parents I’m stepping away from the church  

(14:51) One Church, One Child business 

(20:36) The church trafficked me

(28:39) Orphan sundays 

(30:07) Church preaches family separation (hypocritical?)

(34:24) Forced assimilation 

(36:13) Adoption is not God’s plan
