Indigenous Adoptee Gathering 2014 Ottawa
Indigenous Adoptee Gathering 2014 Ottawa
A few of us
got together and decided it was time to gather and share some knowledge,
learn from each other and support each other. We have so much knowledge
to share but with that knowledge we understand there is pain and
healing that needs to happen. Preperations are happening to make sure
adoptees/survivors spiritual, emotional and physical needs are met so
that that gathering is a safe enironment for all adoptees are in
different places of healing.
It is time to
come together and talk, share and support each other on our journeys.
This event is exclusively for adoptees and foster care survivors and
created by adoptees/foster care survivors.
September 20th
and 21st, 2014 promises to be a weekend of sharing, healing, tears,
hugs, ceremony, talking, listening, eating and laughter!

ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.”
The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
Why tribes do not recommend the DNA swab
Rebecca Tallbear entitled: “DNA, Blood, and Racializing the Tribe”, bearing out what I only inferred:
Detailed discussion of the Bering Strait theory and other scientific theories about the population of the modern-day Americas is beyond the scope of this essay. However, it should be noted that Indian people have expressed suspicion that DNA analysis is a tool that scientists will use to support theories about the origins of tribal people that contradict tribal oral histories and origin stories. Perhaps more important,the alternative origin stories of scientists are seen as intending to weaken tribal land and other legal claims (and even diminish a history of colonialism?) that are supported in U.S. federal and tribal law. As genetic evidence has already been used to resolve land conflicts in Asian and Eastern European countries, this is not an unfounded fear.
