Did you know that “Adoption and Child Welfare” services now gross $20+ billion annually in the United States? Some adoption agencies use the advantages of charitable status to gross several tens of millions of dollars, while others even significantly more. But very few adoptees are permitted access to their birth certificates or adoption documents due to the stigma and human rights violations against them even after adulthood. Profiteers wish for adult adoptees to believe that the transaction was endorsed by God or even a work of God – – typically, this is the lesson we (“adoptees”) are taught in early childhood through tools like children’s books. For this reason, VANCE, a historian and researcher, curated adoption books for adults . According to Adoption Truth & Transparency Worldwide Information Network (ATTWIN), a forum she co-founded with her twin consisting of domestic, late-discovery, transracial, and overseas adoptees, families separated by adoption, and parents of loss, 99% of adult adoptees surveyed believe that their “placement” was a work of man – – and fallible and sinful man at that. Adult adoptees, adopted between the 1940s and 2000s, no longer believe God arranged their adoption. Adoption History is more than just a textbook. It reveals what you should know before spending up to $75,000 in expensive and often hidden agency fees. Once they hook you in with the face of a child, and after you fill out the application form that states you’re already the parent and invested emotionally and financially to the facilitator, it is almost impossible to free yourself from obligation. Most importantly, the contents within this book will protect you from falling victim to adopting a trafficked child.
This textbook reveals adoption as you’ve probably never known; it’s a history book that offers a birdseye view of the industry.
Adoption History: An Adoptee's Research Into Child Trafficking Reviews
-
It was because of this book that I attended Against Child Trafficking's adoptin trafficking awareness symposium at the WA History Museum with my long lost grandson. It was the most impactful emotional event ever. I was moved by the private stories of the parents who lost children to adoption and the experiences from the overseas adoptees. Everyone in the auditorium from all walks of life were united by the ambiance of unity. I hope Janine plans another symposium based on this book. It's not just for university students, but for anyone. Symposiums outside of the adoptive parent control really need to be a yearly wordwide event.

As a mental health professional, and a first parent, I'm constantly reading adoption literature from all perspectives. This book in particular needs to be on the reading list of every single mental health professional who ever has contact with adoptees
-
is a very informative learning tool, we use it at our university

Adoption can be a heartbreaking event for some, but many benefit from it as our family has. However, it is good to have all perspectives and I so appreciate this book.
