Everyone talking about adopting Palestinian kids needs to read Scott Carney’s The Red Market and a brief definition of genocide outside of the physical destruction of lives.
#ra speaks#personal#adoption#palestine#the red market#it’s been years since I read that book#but the sections about the trafficked kids has always stuck with me#about the family who had their son stolen. who tracked him down in America. who asked the family to see him#not to take him home not to be a part of his life but simply to speak with a now young teenager#and tell him how much they loved him and missed him and were happy he was safe#only for the family to deny them.#like Jesus fucking Christ man that shit has fucked me up#idk maybe it’s just cause my countin died recently#and she was adopted and her graduate psychology work was with adopted kids because she was passionate#about the flaws and dangers of the system she grew up in#but every person who talks about saving the children when they mean taking them away from everything and everyone they’ve ever known#it makes my skin crawl#we should be putting effort into keeping track of families. of finding family friends and connections for these kids.#not throwing them into a new country full of racists who will give them shit for where they were born no matter how American they’re raised
