For every adoption there are 13 people who suffer the loss & life-long effects of the separation.

Did You Know That

Babies are stolen and sold into adoption every day.

A healthy white baby can bring $100,000 to the baby broker.

Women have been killed in this country for their babies in order to sell them in adoption.

Adoption was created as a means of finding homes for children who needed them.

Adoption is now being used to find children for infertile couples.

1.53 Billion Dollars is spent annually on fees to adopt children in the U..S. each year.

 51,000 babies x $30,000 average.

1 out of every 7 white couples are infertile. There are 100 white couples per white baby available.

Adoption is a Billion Dollar Industry. Babies are now a commodity in this country.

Adopted people are not allowed their ancestry because it might upset someone and the "someones" who might be upset are those who sell babies; who exist and are flourishing today and are afraid that women will not give up their children if adoptees are allowed to know their original families.

Confidentiality is a myth created to insure that women surrender babies.

Women who surrendered children to adoption most often have great difficulties in getting on with their lives and endure a vast array of psychological problems stemming from the separation such as: relationship difficulties, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Secondary Infertility.

Adoptees most often have great difficulties in getting on with their lives and endure a vast array of psychological problems stemming from the separationsuch as: relationship difficulties, General Anxiety Disorder, Low Self Esteem and fear of intimacy.

The most sacred event in the world (birth) and the most sacred relationship in the world (mother and child) is totally disrespected. And then everyone is told that everything is okay and the losses are treated as non-existent.

It is obvious that something is wrong with this picture!

  Adoption Crossroads is spearheading the effort to make changes in the law to help preserve families and legalize reunions between those already separated and in pain.
