      This thing adoptive parents do where they associate the kid permanently with their "origin story" and use it constantly to market themselves as rescuers and heroes is fucked up!https://twitter.com/HowardMortman/status/1315633288673886213 …

      People criticizing international adoption are not making new or fringe or partisan accusations! International adoptions have receded 72 percent since their highwater mark in 2005 because of country after country banning them due to high-profile abuse scandals!

          I'd also like to say that the this makes kids a commodity object, since most of the internat I've encountered have a focus on the adopter picking which child to buy. I remember a coworker who's parents adopted by giving the agency an exam to see which was good enough to be bought

          So it's not just abuse by families, but agencies who benefit from having kids that fulfill roles that the buyer would want them to. So outside of banning it, there's no real way to have it not turn kids into objects and treat them as such, or to abandon other kids who don't sell.
