Global Adoptee Survey

Adoptee Watch has a critical selective (user democratic) lens on all things adoption related. The whole system worldwide is flawed and rests on fictional identity for which no consent or contract is given or made with the person displaced. Neither is the right given to leave it at 18+ and resume birthright identity without further claims (for ease of simplicity). We are reminding the adoption entranced world we are not slaves but birth born free people when we choose "no consent" and free ourselves.

Throughout my childhood, my family would take annual trips from our home in Indianapolis down to Gatlinburg, TN and the Smoky Mountains. After a long break, we’ve started this tradition anew. This photo was shot while my son (in white) and two of my nephews took off into a Cades Cove meadow at full sprint. It was a completely spontaneous moment that turned into an unforgettable image.

Whilst walking down the harbour in one of Ireland’s prettiest fishing villages Dunmore East, my two-year-old son caught his shadow in the late afternoon sun. We’ve played with torches and shadows lots at home, but he rarely gets to see his whole form played onto stark concrete like this. He was rapt, and I don’t really know what he was thinking but we had a lot of fun. Another magical discovery in the journey of toddlerhood.

I appreciate the critical lens Adoptee-Watch-UK provides on adoption-related topics. Their work raises important awareness and supports the voices of adoptees effectively.

Adoptee-Watch-UK offers an insightful and compassionate perspective on adoption identity when it is a painful change to become and when people need to leave it at the very least by Name Deed , even perhaps by more means as discussions develop inside activism around this strange fictional capture of people's identities by various States

<h3>Adoptee and Other Activism To Expose Trafficking And Mind Slavery By Design: Is a Child A Dog ? Property to be owned? It's a powerful question for people across the world who advocate for ownership of children by Adoption processes because children being treated as property of adults by Adoption is common. Adoptee-Watch argues this is an "Article Of Slavery" .. </h3><h3>A key pointer Adoption Law as form of property law mixed up with child care is the lack of means for any Adoptee to easily leave the legal fictional identity behind and resume an original birth born one purely claiming that as a natural human right. Adoptees have no framed right to "not consent" to Adoption beyond 18+ even though they never signed up to a contractuality that Adopters entered into and the State did while altering their native identities and hiding them often on the basis of the popularised claims of birth family abuses. Adoptee-Watch finds this unacceptable and illogical and aims to prove the right to self-identify back can happen and there is no compulsion in law not to self identify back to original kin named identity and state it by letter and Deed. That is a matter of self ownership not State ownership and since there is no compulsion to be a brand of any stranger's property it's clearly something that can be done and is not fraudulent but true in nature.</h3>

It evolved from pro bono work two of us as adoptees in the UK did in 2021 to test whether or not (97) UK adoptees were happy with adoption experience or the opposite. We were already aware though of child abuses inside adoption experienced by adoptees. We heard about them on Groups on Facebook. We heard this voice was being socially repressed in often socially expressed terms like: “forget the past”, or adoptees felt they were just socially invisible. The question became for us : Is adoption a good social design of alternative child care for adoptees, or is it creating in many, forms of long lasting hurt, even a divided-self neuroses, which is socially constructed? Do some adoptees want out of adoption? Eased revocation rights after 18+? You have to hear the voice of adoptees for that to be tested. We thought that is a bottom-up exercise of democracy because we later have to engage the systems politically for changes and argument. What is placed above here is a link to the 2022 survey to download and those of us involved had hoped to spur later co-production with universities because there is a large number of damaged people globally who are injured by the adoption-design and its social process over years .. We are aware too that other lay survey work has been done (2024-25 re: 600 Adoptees and 1st parents) it was not peer reviewed has been done showing up distresses and pain as problems as a large factor in adoptees : "Dr Lynn Zubov shares that adoptees in this sample reported higher rates of mental health challenges compared to the general population. In terms of emotional distress, 82.7% of the respondents answered "yes, definitely" to the question of whether they experience pain and loss, and 55.7% reported a pervasive lack of belonging. Approximately 80% of adoptees reported using "unhealthy coping mechanisms" to manage complicated feelings." <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j1k4725ljchzmlitijrac/First-Summary-Reportback-1-Global-Anon-Adoptee-Survey-2022.pdf?e=1&amp;fbclid=IwY2xjawMhZMlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETBkdnhhQ3BnTmtneW05TkQxAR5YCQaJCIwfS-MELea7EWyAT661mvhAo-GSB62ORw5bJYBd6QP5S96xavPQ3Q_aem_k32yzbBdk7lI2EtsS3Jd8A&amp;rlkey=0r317y86kwekup783bl1s11ml&amp;dl=0">LINK TO OUR 304 Adoptee Only Survey </a>
