More than you ask for | Holt adoption baby
https://holtsurvivor.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/more-than-you-ask-for
More than you ask for. For a brief time, after I realized I was adopted and that adoption may have no small part in why the world makes no sense to me, I went into a mad frenzy seeking. To find out as much information on adoption as I could. Three years later, and I can’t find shelter from adoption all around me. Case in point, two offenses in the span of a week, and I WAS NOT LOOKING. The theme of the day is birthday for my work with TRACK and because my so-called birthday is coming up. One look and I k...

Older Adoptees | Holt adoption baby
https://holtsurvivor.wordpress.com/2012/05/21/older-adoptees
I was asked to give a speech at GOAL’s Post Adoption Survey final forum on the topic of adoptee identity from an older adoptee’s perspective. I thought I’d share it here. I don’t remember where I got all the images. If you’re an image owner and protest its use, I will gladly take the image down. Here it is, paraphrased (with the odd thing I forgot to add during the speech):. For the first waves of adoptees, we were scattered across America, predominantly to small towns. Growing up, there wasn’t any...

Hope they will search. These days, that’s what unwed mothers giving their babies all seem to say. They give up their babies because they have no options and they hope the babies will grow up, come back, and search for them. Now, what are the odds they will be able to do that? Also, the unwed moms are telling us that the adoption agencies are telling them that they will have a better chance of reuniting with their children if they give up their babies to international adoption. What would Harry Holt Do?

Korean Adoptees for Fair Records Access | Holt adoption baby
https://holtsurvivor.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/korean-adoptees-for-fair-records-access
Korean Adoptees for Fair Records Access. It’s been less than a day since I started this Facebook group, and there are about 5 new members every half hour. Maybe that should tell Holt and the other international adoption agencies something, ya think? Since when was wanting to know missing years, your name, your real birth date, how you came into being, and if you were loved unreasonable? A facebook group for Korean adoptees who have experienced undue difficulty accessing their records. The Hague Conventio...

Be Tenacious – How to get your Identity Back | Holt adoption baby

Be Tenacious – How to get your Identity Back. Holt adoptees in search. We should consider ourselves very lucky because our adoption agency was based in Eugene and by Oregon Law. They must provide access to our records. We should consider ourselves very lucky that it is by Korean Law. That adoption agencies provide Post Adoption Services. However, our luck did not prepare me for the many ways in which Holt frustrates access to our documents! Micro-analyze everything they tell you. After reviewing your fil...

You don’t know me. Written in Dec. of 2010. Dear A.B.,. You don’t know me but your public information says you might be related to the only person in Washington State who has the same birthday as my possible sister. Is S.B. Korean, by any chance? Dear Korean radio station/t.v. station,. Dear Oregon legislature,.

please stop – your saving is killing us | Holt adoption baby
https://holtsurvivor.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/please-stop-your-saving-is-killing-us
Please stop your saving is killing us. Leave a comment ». Copied from one of my other blogs…. Well, a few days ago X showed up on facebook adoptee groups putting his opinion out there again, not really discussing, again., and giving the same old story that not only were mixed-race adoptees saved, but that racism is still a problem and stigmatizing is still a problem and that Koreans don’t want to adopt these problem children so international adoption is still necessary.
