What is Adoption Truth and Transparency Worldwide Network?
Because it was the first time adoption was publicly discussed, issues that had never been thought about by the system's creators, adoptive parents, or special interest groups were brought up. The group was directly hit and attacked by the public, who hadn't heard of the human rights violations adopted people are forced to contend with. This is because, for the past four centuries, religious entities have had a monopoly on the narrative.
Today processing children for adoption has become a worldwide crisis dressed up as a charity. A sort of religious status for the elite; a Christian with a child of color is assumed to be an absolute Christian. No mother can fight the child market alone, no matter how strong she is. No father has been able to fight what has become a glorified, socialized, and normalized child welfare system.
Many of us feel unsafe speaking truth to power, especially since the churches gained the upper hand and authority on the narrative since the industry was organized and built in the 1600s by the Catholic Church. Very few in the United States present a realistic, insightful perspective without being humiliated and labeled with sweeping accusations of being ungrateful, unable to bond, mentally unstable, angry for no reason or given sweeping generalizations that just because we question the practice of adoption or searching for our biological siblings and relatives, we're somehow bad or wrong.
Today we are proud to say that because of the public discourse in 2011, we are better aware of our human rights. Many have branched out to form their own discussions, a step closer to protecting families from exploitation. But there is much work to be done. There is a ton of information that needs to be shared, which will provide evidence that adoption violates the inherent God-given right to our family and has, since its formation, devastated mothers, unnecessarily and permanently separated children from their biological roots, and divided and conquered the spirit of the family.
People with their own agenda have, since the dawn of mankind, tried to snuff us out, our voices who know the truth and attempt to speak it. One of the biggest enemies of the truth is the adoption special interest groups, particularly those who sell adoption. Our ancestors have only us to investigate and speak the truth regarding the crimes committed against our family and community.
One of the market's global promotional campaigns is "every child deserves a family"; such a campaign totally disregards the family—a family each and every child is born into.
Each child comes from an entire bloodline of immediate and extended relatives from generations past to generations future. Adoption abruptly cuts off the child from their long bloodline of ascendants to their descendants. International adoption actually manufactures orphans and pretends children are lone units to be matched with others under the veneer of providing a "service" so the matchmaker won't be seen as child traffickers.
Since the Catholic Church organized the idea into a profitable system in the 1600s, the Protestant church started competing with them during the formation of America, and then the evangelical church flew with it (literally) over Asia. After Korea made attempts at's doors, the missionaries scoured Africa, and the special interest marketed to stars so that the act would be glamorized during the season of the AIDS pandemic. For those reasons, adoption does not deserve the respect it has today.
FFour Main Reasons Many Adult Adoptees in Adoption Truth and Transparency Worldwide Information Network No Longer Approve of Adoption:
1. We didn't sign the contract
2. No one told us about the contract
3. We don't get a copy of the contract

Ever wondered what adopted people are saying right now about adoption?
Adoptionland begins with personal accounts and then shifts to a bird’s eye view of adoption from domestic, intercountry, and transracial adoptees who are now adoptee rights activists. For many years, adopted people have just dealt with such matters alone, not knowing that all of us—as a community—have a great deal in common.
