Adopters want themself to be shown as victims of Haiti

Childish behaviour of adopters irritate Adoptees



Now again another international 'babylift' operation has been conducted Adoptees from over the world criticise the swift decisions the 'forced' adoptions due to the fast track procedure which is suddenly no problem. Even when governments as in the Netherlands say that they act in good and sensible manner.



But it seems, that none of the governments has been studying the history of adoption and are not willing to listen to Adoptees, NGO's and professional relief organisations to put an halt to these kind of adoptions.



Now criticasters, and among them adult Adoptees, are reporting about the forceful pressure by adoption agencies and prospective adopters to get the children, worldwide the adoptionlobby launched a campaign to present the prospective adopters as the victims of the situation.



The international media show them as the awaiting good parents who wanted to rescue the children and are been criticised by doing so. It seems that the world is put upside down.



And of course no one was really interested about the comments from adult Adoptees. But the UAI would not be the UAI if it would not give attention to fellow Adoptees:

“Heart-wrenching,” “excruciating,” “tragic,” “anxious,” and “fearful.” These are the terms used to frame white adoptive couples’ emotional experience of the disaster.

The children are always “safe” and “unharmed” in these stories. The economic and political origins of the children’s availability to the adoption market are erased as the individualized and apolitical personal crises of privileged white couples command center stage. The verbal violence and erasure continue in adoptive parents’ testimony about “their” Haitian children’s current situation. The children are only “living” in Haiti. Their “forever families” are waiting for them to be sent “home” to Kansas or Illinois, Indiana or Montana...<read more at her blog>
