“These children need a different kind of love — the type that forces them to love others[…] it is the therapist’s job to disturb the disturbed.”

Jesus.
Our whole adoption complex is so fucked. Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of only adopting a kid so you can love/support them and let them grow into their own person? If I had been adopted rather than raised by my biological parents, I would have been diagnosed with some bullshit attachment disorder (because it just wasn’t my style to attach to anyone as a kid) and probably killed or at the very least traumatized by some bullshit corrective therapy.
If you were adopted rather than bio spawned, you’d be diagnosed with attachment disorder REGARDLESS of your real behavior and/or “style.”
All adoptees are stigmatized from the get go. This is why even East Asian adoptees (widely branded as the most docile variety) are automatically likened to Lord Voldemort.
Attachment Disorder’s “symptoms” are purposefully catch-all inclusive. Are you quiet and withdrawn? Then you’re “empty-eyed” and “not affectionate on parent’s terms.” Are you affectionate and playful? Then you’re “superficially engaging and charming” and just waiting for an opportunity to poison your family’s water supply with strychnine or some shit.
Oh, and then there’s our supposed “inability to feel pain” whilst being “overly sensitive to touch.”
I can’t even begin to go into detail on what happens when disability enters the picture, or when we come from different cultures than the oppressive one we’re adopted into.
Attachment theory worships eye contact as a bonding benchmark, utterly failing to realize that many of the non-Eurocentric (and far less violent) cultures that comprise the adoption industry’s “supply regions” traditionally teach children to avoid directly looking at adults as a SIGN OF RESPECT.
I’ve worked on a lawsuit with another adoptee who is congenitally blind. She was diagnosed as dangerously attachment disordered by one of the leading adoption experts in all of Europe for failing to memorize Braille characters that she had not yet been taught.

Oh, that sounds interesting.
*plot twist*
Nothing about the person being adopted.
Shocking!

Yup.
And I gotta add that even when there’s any substantive critique of the adoption industry, it’s always about the oppression and loss for our birth families, NEVER for us.
Non-adopted POC can talk a blue streak about the inherent fuckery of transracial adoption, but only insofar as birth parents and communities go. We’re a living, breathing reminder of their vulnerability and victimization through no goddamn fault of our own.
S2G bio spawn in general are incapable of comprehending or even considering those whom adoption affects the most by far: children who are actually adopted.

so much claptrap festering in my inbox by shit for brains white bio spawn who hand to god claim that having light skin/white privilege is totes comparable to the transracial adoptees experience
[blink.gif]
gotta address this and some lethally ableist shit in the international transracial Class Bastard domain being propagated by neurotypical, light-skinned adoptees especially
cutting down my dash to focus on fellow adoptees & foster care survivors to accomplish aforementioned. will refollow later. X

posting bc FU to white savior bio spawn continually greasing up my inbox with tears of mayo “well if the current system of outright kidnapping child trafficking war-mongering womb-farming woman-raping literally genocidal fuckery that comprises the adoption industry than WHAT IS tell meeee how can i adopt”
Not my job to take time out from my invaluable resistance and survival to educate your oppressive, clueless asses
much less help procure for you an ACTUAL HUMAN BEING.

“Grateful though we should be, adoptive parents are not always. I was anything but grateful one night when my son was two. It had been a three-tantrum day, and there he was in his high chair, throwing spaghetti directly at my face. I…In all fairness, though, I know biological parents who’ve said pretty much the exact same thing about returning their child to sender mid-tantrum. Momentary resentment of one’s child isn’t exactly abnormal. Talk to literally any parent and they’ll admit to having thought the same thing at one poing or another.
No what got me was not the fact that they were saying these things but the fact that the parent was not recognizing the very simple fact that that child is doing what any child is doing but somehow attributing it to the fact that he was adopted. For example, lines like
“Would my biological child have flung spaghetti at me”
that
thank you, LiTL, for pointing out part of why “momentary resentment” of biological children is completely inapplicable to transracial adoptees (especially ones adopted by Jana Wolff).
As to Notablyindigo, why you had to interject your dumbshit devil’s advocacy about oppression you obvsly remain in abject ignorance of is beyond me, idgaf to speculate. Sit back down, bio spawn.

People who are so sheltered and privileged that they go out on the Internet, see “minorities”, and think the Internet invented them
Welcome to the world, please stop living under a rock and you might notice us more.

Just because you’re a fellow POC doesn’t mean you know ANYTHING about adoption or foster care
More on this later, just had to get this off my chest because adoption’s become something of a ‘hot’ issue on tumblr and bio spawn are fucking up left and right trying to interject, spewing horrendously fucked up propaganda while ignoring adoptees and the glaring truths we’ve spoken out about time and time again.
People of Color: this includes yous. Yall are by no means guiltless of this fuckery, and the complacent belief that you don’t really have anything to learn by virtue of also lacking white privilege is completely wrong. I’ve witnessed far too many examples of this shit, but the two that spring to mind are
1) espousing domestic adoption over international when Class Bastards have posted 375289338+ articles about the ethnocidal decimation of Black and Native communities in North America especially and systemic abduction/trafficking of young single women’s children
2) propagating “Reactive Attachment Disorder” ableist pseudoscience (which btw tortures thousands of adoptees/foster kids and frequently ends in murder, Cassandra Killpack being just one of the fellow victims I could bring myself to post about) as your citations and educational sources as opposed to content by actual adoptees and foster care survivors.
STFU plz & thank you. X

4-Year Old U.S. Adoptee Killed by “Water Therapy”
[TRIGGER WARNING: child abuse, death] As his 4-year-old adopted daughter Cassandra lay dying, Richard Killpack blamed her condition on “emotional problems” and “a really bad case of RAD [Reactive Attachment Disorder]” in his 911 call.
Killpack and his wife Jenette had punished the child for sneaking sips of her sister’s drink by sitting her on a bar stool, tying her hands behind her back with the help of their biological daughter, and forcing her to drink a lethal amount of water.
EMTs found the child unconscious with distended belly and pink foam from her mouth. Medical examiners declared cause of death water intoxication, a condition in which over-abundance of water causes sodium levels in the body to drop, resulting in fatal swelling of the brain.
“I said, ‘You’ll have to go to Mom and do the drinking-water thing,’” the Killpacks’ biological daughter Heather said in a police interview. ”She makes her drink ‘til she pukes.”
The Killpacks insist they were using “water therapy” to cure their adopted child’s disorder, stating in TV appearances that under the rules set by attachment therapists, Cassandra had to ask for everything, including food and water, “to help her understand dependency, that her mom and dad loved her.”

LE WHAT THE FUCK
i hope these people get burned alive.
This poor baby. :(
oh god. That poor little baby. There are no words. I am no expert, but I do know some of the techniques used for RAD treatment. NONE of them violate or abuse the child. None that I know of. That hurts so bad to read. This is unacceptable.
OP here, and of all the oppressively shit-brained commentary that’s floating around this posting of mine, you white bio spawn who claim to know something about RAD yet refuse to actually read the damn article in full are the worst.
Seriously, one boggles at the mindless privilege of you folks WHO CAN’T EVEN BE BOTHERED TO SKIM THE DIRECTLY HYPERLINKED SOURCES BEFORE SHOOTING OFF YOUR IGNORANT MOUTHS ABOUT THE SYSTEMIC CHILD ABUSE AND MURDER THAT IN YOUR COMPLETE FUCKING IGNORANCE YOU HELP PROPAGATE.
“NONE of them violate or abuse the child. None that I know of.” And there we have the nature of privilege in a nutshell.
(Yes peeps I know I’m going all caps!lock Harry, but a) I am actually a magical freaking orphan, and b) that ass started it.)
I refuse to repeat myself, there aren’t enough spoons in the world. I’ll only deign to say that it’s not just Third World transracial war “orphans” like myself you’ve just made a foolish asshole of yourself in front of, it’s also my fellow Class Bastards who are white domestic adoptees invariably diagnosed with this Eurocentric pseudoscientific “RAD” bullshit and then tortured accordingly, ESPECIALLY if they happen to be queer (read the damn linked sources, fool).
