"The State Department does not track how many international #adoptees become naturalized citizens. But, an immigration lawyer scoured records and found that a total of about 200,000 children brought to the U.S. since that year had grown up without U.S. citizenship" https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/us/politics/foreign-adoptees-citizenship-immigration-enforcement.html

#adoptees! This is going to be GREAT.

I was glad to see some national coverage of this important but unfamiliar issue. #adopteesonadoption #adoptees Born Abroad and Fearful of ICE, Adoptees Try to Prove They Belong - The New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/us/politics/foreign-adoptees-citizenship-immigration-enforcement.html

I’m proud of the work #adoptees and birthparents have done over generations to create a systematic critique of our culture’s addiction to adoption & its dependence on a horrifically predatory adoption industry. I praise ther willingness to speak truth, knowing they will earn endless abuse for it. +

if you don’t like the idea that #adoptees are treated as other people’s property—despite there being a $34 billion market in children—then maybe we can agree that adoptees’ legal identities are other people’s property. “I want a child to call my own.” OK, here’s a piece of paper that proves it

If you can, please support VA #adoptees in their effort to regain their rights to their own vital records!

my fellow cis people should shut up and understand the gravity of the situation. adopted people have *also* known for generations that the state will decree whatever it wishes about a person’s identity. Intercountry #adoptees know that caprices with paperwork can lead to seizure and disappearance.

yes I do hope that the ACLU does right by trans people and their control over their own identifying documents, because they sure as fuck don’t stand up for #adoptees in OUR fight.
