Okay, not really, but we did write an article for this website:
Abductees Speak: Transracial Adoptees Take on the Adoption Industry

Hey, check out this interesting article Sam-dol/Tobias told us about. It's from, like, '88.

Tune in to 90.7FM KBOO this Saturday at 7pm to listen to Transracial Abductees talk about women, poverty, and transracial abduction.

Check this out: "Multi-Ethnic Placement Act and Amendments: Potential Impacts on Indian Children" on the National Indian Child Welfare Association webpage.

Check out this supergood paper by Sunny Jo: The Creation and Rise of KAD as a Separate Identity and Nation My favorite is the part about "Kadpropriation."

Transracial Abductees is doing a workshop this weekend at the Oregon Students of Color Coalition conference in Corvallis, OR. We think our workshop will be on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2003, at least, that's the day we're going. Read our workshop description . . . (more...)

Policymakers, adoption agencies, scholars and media in the U.S. tend to discuss "transracial" and "international" adoption in mutually exclusive terms, and both of these adoption worlds have the habit of ignoring each other. Applying a people of color-centered analysis, however, reveals the shared set of assumptions about race and "the best interests of the child" that underpin policy and practice in both domestic and international transracial adoption.

Korean adoptees, long ignored in studies of Korean immigration and community, earn mention in a recent Washington Post article entitled "For Koreans, Changes in Store." 2003 marks the centennial of Korean immigration to the United States, and staff writer David Cho hypes Koreans as a "changing, assimilating community."

Yes, the rumors are true, my long-awaited 'zine, "I Was Abducted By White People" is now available. Click here to view and order online. The 'zine includes my abduction scrapbook, plus a new article on the foster care debate. It's a great holiday gift idea!

This is from an abductee living in Indiana.....so many Korean alien abductees in the world..... (more...)

So I just reread Sherman Alexie's Indian Killer, and it was kind of strange to realize how much it helped reinforce my thinking about transracial abduction the first time I read it. I didn't feel, like, so bad about being critical of my white parents after reading this. (more...)

There are lots of books out there about transracial abduction. They're usually called something like "Inside Transracial Abduction" or "Love Makes A Family." I thought I should try to read one all the way through, so I checked out this book called Birthmarks: Transracial Adoption in Contemporary America. It's by Sandra Patton, who at the time she turned her dissertation into this book was a visiting professor of women's studies at the University of Minnesota.

So, I'm continuing my futile search for some other website about transracial abduction that doesn't completely suck and I find this most upsetting web page for "The Multiracial Activist," a "libertarian oriented activist journal covering social and civil liberties issues of interest to individuals who perceive themselves to be 'biracial' or 'multiracial,' 'interracial' couples/families and 'transracial' adoptees." Whatever. The important thing is that they include the National Association of Black Social Workers in their Hall of Shame!! (more...)

I recently found this website for the National Adoption Information Clearinghouse (NAIC). They have a section on transracial abduction. It's basically as messed up as anything else on the web, but I thought it was kinda funny how they tell abductors to deal with "racially or ethnically biased remarks" (they never ever say racism). One example: "I find your remark offensive. Please don't say that type of thing again." (more...)

Article "Conscientious Abductors: White Feminist Justifications for Transracist Abduction" has been added to Abduction Politics section.

Article "Abducting on a Budget: Agency Policies on 'Minority' Children" has been added to Abduction Politics section.

On February 27, 2001, the "Child Citizenship Act of 2000" went into effect. The U.S. Department of State issued a press release stating that the new law "greatly streamlines the process by which foreign-born children of U.S. citizen parents can become U.S. citizens." (more...)
