Brainstorming this morning about how a bunch of disparate parties, following their own self-interests, come together to perpetuate tragedy-for-profit in adoption.
Meme: High-ceilinged room like a castle or basilica. People in medieval-style metal armor, standing around a large circular table, swords drawn and touching the table, sword-tips pointed inward toward the table’s center. Three of the people are visible and labeled, and all of the swords carry labels. From top left to top right, and proceeding around the circle clockwise, the labels read: Top-left: for-profit agencies Their sword: “I want money” Center: religious bystanders Their sword: “I don’t want pregnant people to have abortions” Top-right: childless people Their sword: “I want a baby” The other, nameless swords are labeled thusly: 1. “not my problem” 2. “a thriving for-profit adoption industry lowers our taxes” 3. “my friend’s adoption worked out fine” 4. “but what else could we possibly try?” <proceeds to ignore own question> 5. “I want to ‘save’ children from other countries/communities” 6. “our adoption worked out fine” At table’s center: “PERPETUATING ADOPTEE TRAUMA”
