The Adoption Files

Forever is not a guarantee


Listen Later

Basically, this is me, ranting about how ludicrous the idea of forever homes and forever family is in a system that devalues the child and places all the value in the narrative clung to by prospective and adoptive parents. The sound quality is not great, but I am putting this out there, anyway. My opinions are my own. The laws are on the books that allow unsupervised exchange of children on shady websites like Second Chance Adoption and rehomimg sites on places like Facebook and LinkedIn. The language of forever is easily found on adoption agency websites and in pro adoption literature. Academic papers and books on the trauma of abandonment, rejection and displacement can be found in university libraries, public libraries and online. My opinions are my own, but the information is out there and accessible. Thanks for listening!
