Our work centers on children abandoned after adoption, many of whom are sent to unlicensed, abusive facilities or left to fend for themselves on the streets.
Agreed, Louise! Thank you to Pamela for posting this, and Themis Youth Law & Advocacy (and Dawn) for bringing attention to the dire need for adoptee justice.
The stories shared in Adoptee Moxie reflect what we see every day at Themis Youth Law & Advocacy. Adoptees, especially transracial and LGBTQ adoptees, are being abandoned, institutionalized, or left legally and emotionally unsupported after adoption breaks down.
These young people are often labeled, silenced, and forgotten, while adoptive families may continue receiving subsidies, and the systems that failed them face no accountability.
If this issue moves you, I invite you to support our work at Themis. We provide legal representation, emergency advocacy, and policy reform efforts to fight for these youth. And we can't do it without a strong community behind us.
This is so important and extremely upsetting. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you for standing with us and helping bring visibility to the truths so many adoptees have carried alone.
