Human Trafficking
Over the last 4-5 years I joined the efforts of those who want to abolish the industry, its practices, the entire ethos that has allowed it to become a global market. As a therapist, my entry began in identifying adoption trauma. I spoke up about our lived experiences, the lifelong effects of separation and loss. I developed an adoption trauma factsheet that I felt captured the core issues. However, I kept learning more about the industry. I realized that there was more and that my thoughts and language were no longer adequate or even accurate. It continues to be a humbling experience.
As a big picture thinker, combined with my training, I'm able to see systems, patterns, and dynamics. I think outside the box, challenge conventions, conformity, and indoctrination. A few years ago, I started an anti-adoption trafficking initiative. I continued to refer to the human trafficking industry as the "adoption industry." I helped and supported victims, gathered evidence of the crimes, and raised awareness to call out the industry for what it is. I was embraced by many and rejected by others. As a victim, the path of recovery for me has been both in community and in self-reflection. Each time I reemerge it's with greater knowledge and deeper understanding of the truth. I have used social media to share my process publicly.
December 2024, I published my article, The Illusion of Adoption is Over. It was my way of bridging current perspectives about adoption with the truth hidden behind the word. The various schools of thought became clear to me, many driven by self-interests and motives. We live in a capitalist society, which has made me question where does the truth fit in. With this kind of society, how important is the truth? Everything seems to be driven by the "bottom line." This concerns me greatly.
What has brought me to this point in my pursuit of the truth, comes from the work in anti-human trafficking, the language they use, the brainwashing and deprogramming applied primarily to dismantling cults. The human trafficking industry uses such tactics to groom, coerce, and dehumanize its victims. Let's unpack what I call objective truths, evidential and factual, thus undeniable and irrefutable:
• Human trafficking is the crime of buying and selling people.
• Adoption is defined as taking a child and owning "it."
• Taking something that isn't yours is wrong.
• The word "Adoption" is used by the industry to commodify people to be bought and sold without facing criminal consequences.
• The human trafficking industry has developed propaganda to cover up its crimes and brainwash society to believe they aren't crimes at all.
• The term "Adoption" has been so effective, the industry no longer needs to use it and has moved onto other terms to create new markets.
This is what all of us are up against at this point. The more I learned about the crimes against humanity this industry has committed, the mass loss of human lives, of infants and children, my goal has been to criminalize the whole industry and future-proof humanity from it. I have witnessed governments issuing their apologies, the shut downs of their child supply markets... and then reopen them. I want to ensure any future attempt to create child supply markets will automatically be identified and treated as a crime.
This is no longer just about "adoption." In pure capitalist fashion, the industry is expanding its target market towards the entire human race. It's no longer looking to solve child placement issues, but is positioning itself to be the solution to human extinction at the cost of enslaving the entire human population.
This is the truth I've come to see. This is the future I'm warning everyone about while we can still do something to stop it. As a victim, having lost loved ones, witnessed their deaths, and suffered and survived the pain of this life, I will keep speaking up and hope and encourage others to join this effort to stop this industry from enslaving all of us.
