Lost Daughters : ROUND TABLE: Lost Daughters #FlipTheScript on Crowdfunding and the \"Orphan Crisis\"

I agree with the comments here very much. There is a huge population of adult adoptees called the STOLEN GENERATION, accomplished by government programs called the Indian Adoption Projects and ARENA (using more than one project.) In this instance, adoption was a method of warfare. Removing children had a purpose: assimilation and loss of tribal identity and sovereignty. So for anyone to raise money to adopt is complicit in this genocide. My recent post Conversations about Historical Trauma

You have spared me tearing my hair out at yet another fiction with an adoption theme. And I wouldn't pay a dime to see this trash... Your post is brilliant!
