Today I received the death certificate for my bio-dad. I wrote about him in my book. He denied his paternity, but shared kin & my deceased bio-mom confirmed he was my bio-dad (and there's the resemblance). Legally I could obtain this record & have more facts. No one could say "no." Very empowering!

ohchr.orgUN expert calls for recognition of surrogacy as system of violence, exploitation and abuse, urges abolitionGENEVA – A UN expert today called for the recognition of surrogacy as a system of violence, exploitation and abuse against women, and called for the practice to be abolished globally.

This will be interesting how the global fertility industry promotes this story. All surrogacy stories involve women, most of whom are exploited before being severed from a child. The voice of women and these kids are always hidden--they are the cogs and merchandize. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

@notalegalrecord.net

The reason why this woman did not know where she was born is familiar to every adopted person: We are given fake (“amended”) birth certificates that legally certify falsehoods about where and by whom we were born. So many of us have died, and will die, never having seen the originals. 🥚

Bony 🦴 Skeletino 💀@notalegalrecord.net

Because this #adoptee did not know the circumstances of her birth until very recently, the US government has charged her with voting illegally. Intercountry adoptees are living on a knife’s edge in this cursed country of ours. apnews.com/article/syra...

Having to take my naturalization document everywhere is tedious and frustrating. Not knowing if they'll accept it as a legit document is downright scary.

To answer the question in the headline: when you remove a child from its kin, culture, and country and profit from that, "stolen" is an appropriate description. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Oh, God, it's getting stupider. One guy was an adoptee who, as far as he knew, was born in the US. He didn't find out he was adopted until he was 51, by which time he had already voted in six elections.
