Thank you for sharing that! However, the speaker questioned whether adoption is better than foster system. How about not incarcerating them in the first place, especially when the unborn is already experiencing imprisonment? Essentially, #PunishedInUtero.

In Ontario, Canada, pregnant delinquent girls or wards of a Children's Aid Society were incarcerated to maternity homes. The CYFSA and YCJA, however, prevent adoptees from learning the truth about their birth history.

Many countries are indeed investigating, but no one is looking into the adoption of #prisonborn babies who are #punishedinutero.

Imagine finding your ancestor in a prison census at the Mercer Reformatory, charged with 'incorrigible.' You then discover that she had children forcibly taken for adoption, including one born while incarcerated—none of whom she knew.

"Good Shepherd Homes that sprung up in Canada were run by one of the Orders that ran the Magdalen Laundries of Ireland, which were homes for unwed pregnant women, and prostitutes in Ireland."
Unlike Ireland these homes have been overlooked in Canada! Why?

Indigenous children at Catholic-run Good Shepherd Homes had experiences similar to children at residential schools and the homes need further investigation for potential missing children, according to the final report of the Special Interlocutor for Missing Children and Unmarked Graves and Burial Sites Associated with Indian Residential Schools.

Great video on addiction that resonates with those of us(🖐️)adoptees who have struggled with addiction for years. It sheds light on how addiction ties into past traumas, including the impact of being separated from our families.

Very few of us #adoptees ever find out that we were #PrisonBorn. Deborah Jiang Stein is one such adoptee who discovered her birth history and has written a book about it.

Many #adoptees were #PrisonBorn but never knew it. This #HiddenHistory persists, especially if their mother was a juvenile. In Canada a Children's Aid Society can't disclose whether she was incarcerated at the time of their birth.

Alarming are mothers labeled 'juvenile delinquents,' as the YCJA prohibits disclosing this information. While adoption records may be open, knowledge of a delinquent mother is still withheld. Any #Adoptee could be affected and still doesn’t know.
