Plenty of parents have decided to do many harmful things to their children. Many people decide that it is perfectly fine to indoctrinate their children into Sharia Law and even have honor killings – are they afforded this right because they happen to be a legal guardian? Other parents deny their children doctors because of faith based reasons… Here's a tip – not all adoptive parents are nice people.

My point is simple – daddy doesn't always know best. To deny a child their heritage, their family and their ancestral knowledge is an atrocity and one that should be stopped. People have the right to know where they came from. Perhaps the adoptive/biological parents will have issues, so what – it's par for the course.

*knock-knock-knock- wake up, it's reality calling*

To deny a child, and later an adult, their rights because it might upset the apple cart is insane. Where does the voice of the child come into play? After-all, they were the one passed around like cattle and given from one person to the next – why does their voice not count for anything?

While adoption may be a beautiful gift for those who adopt the children, and even the child as we are not murdered by abortion – it is a nightmare full of questions and angst for those us of us who have been denied our culture, our heritage, and our family.

Do you have any idea what it's like to not know who you laugh like? Who you smile like? Where your mannerisms come from? Or what about your intellect, whit and charm? Do you have any idea what it's like to wonder what your parents look like? What they do for a living? Wondering if, "hey maybe that's them" as you pass people on the street? Or siblings – do you know what it's like to wonder if you have brothers or sisters and whether or not they even know of your very existence? What about love; do you know how hard it is to trust someone after being abandoned by your parents?

Good God, you non-adoptees are absolutely clueless as to what adoptees go through! Yet you are always there with your judgement and your oppressive laws! Like somehow you have the right to dictate my future when plenty of people have already dictated my past! Step off my rights!
