This is a detailed and impassioned plea for the recognition and rights of adoptees, particularly those who have experienced forced adoption. It addresses the systemic suppression of adoptee voices and the dichotomies in adoption practices and presents hypothetical writs from adoptees to governance, society, and family, outlining their demands for acknowledgment, legislative action, breaking stigmas, inclusive language and representation, supportive family structures, and recognition of identity. The text emphasizes the need for comprehensive support services, legislative reforms, and a national commitment to truth and reconciliation regarding forced adoptions. It also highlights the complex and deeply rooted issues that contribute to the suppression of adoptee voices, including social stigma and shame, power dynamics and authority, lack of education and awareness, legal and institutional barriers, institutional practices, global power dynamics, cultural taboos, lack of support networks, generational impact, and societal expectations. The last question is: "Can your family and close friends talk openly and freely about adoption?" #Adoption #HumanRights #Family #systemicchange #changethestory #adopteevoices #USA #AMERICA #australia #auspol Australian Human Rights Commission Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care HumanAbility Ltd Anthony Albanese
