Hello Trackers International!

TI’s website is to be applauded. It is refreshingly honest, comprehensive and wonderfully educational.

OriginsUSA (OUSA) in America is internationally affiliated with Origins, Inc. NSW, http://www.angelfire.com/or/originsnsw, and OriginsCanada, www.originscanada.org. OUSA is demanding a government inquiry into illegal and unethical adoption practices. It supports all people separated by adoption.

OUSA’s website contains a great deal of historical research, recommended books, a comprehensive Questionnaire, interesting articles, “Voices From Exile” (a monthly column by Joss Shawyer), and many informative links. OUSA’s online support group forum can be found at http://forums.delphiforums.com/originsna/messages

Over the last seven years, I have read and catalogued over 125 out-of-print books written by social workers, historians and sociologists. It is astounding to read about the methods and means social workers used (brainwashing, thought reform and persuasive coercion) to remove our children from us through their punitive attitudes and with the blessings of society. Our legal and civil rights were ignored and abused. Unfortunately, adoption coercion is still alive and thriving in America today. "Open adoption" is the new means of emotional manipulation of vulnerable, unprotected and unsuspecting new mothers. “Open adoption” agreements are not legally enforceable by surrendering mothers once they have signed formal papers believing they will have lifelong contact with their child.

We would like to introduce an exciting online, educational video by Suzie Kidnap entitled, “Out Of the Fog, Mothers Speak About Adoption” at www.suziekidnap.com/fog or www.socialwreckers.com/fog

OUSA is very happy to be affiliated with Trackers International!

Best regards,

Karen Wilson Buterbaugh, Co-Founder of OriginsUSA & Co-author of “Adoption Healing, a path to recovery for mothers who lost children to adoption,”
