Are you missing a child because of adoption?

Call for Submissions: Adoptionland II

How to write about your adoption-loss for Adoptionland II.
*Need additional writing guidance? Give yourself a writing chance.
If you are a parent of an adoption loss, watch the special one-hour informational video session shown above explaining the PowerPoint.

We are excited to announce a call for submissions for a new collection of stories that delve into the experiences of families separated by adoption. This initiative aims to challenge the stigmas and sweeping generalizations that often surround mothers and fathers who have experienced loss. We encourage you to share your heartfelt narratives, as your unique perspectives contribute significantly to a broader understanding of the complexities involved in adoption. Together, can foster a powerful dialogue that honors every story and amplifies every voice, creating a compassionate space for reflection and connection. Join us in this meaningful endeavor!

​

We invite you to share your unique perspective in our upcoming collection, "Adoptionland II: Adopted? or Abducted? What's Your Story?" This is a powerful opportunity for those most impacted by adoption to contribute their voices and stories. We welcome submissions of up to 3000 words, with 1500 words being the ideal lengthapproximately 5-6 pages double-spaced or 2.5-3 pages single-spaced, 12 pt font). 

​

Join us in creating a meaningful dialogue about the complexities of adoption. Your story matters, and we can't wait to hear it! If you are a parent of adoption-loss, a special informational session on writing your life story can be found here.

AdoptionHistory.org’s Stance Against Child Commodification, Trafficking, and Exploitation: As advocates for the rights and well-being of local and global families, AdoptionHistory.org vehemently opposes child trafficking and the commodification of children within the multi-billion-dollar adoption industry. We strive to set a moral example for industry stakeholders. We do not promote adoption or accept funding from the child market, a demand-driven industry. The acceptance of and receipt of adoption fees commodifies children, permanently separating them from their families, communities, cultures, and countries of birth. We prioritize the inherent, natural, and God-given rights enshrined in universal, international, and state constitutions and declarations. We remain steadfast in upholding children's and families' innate rights and well-being. Thank you for supporting our mission. NOTE: While Billy Graham was not directly involved in the activities of Harry Holt, the intention to proselytize to the world inadvertently contributed to the cultural acceptance of what has become a global child market, contributing to the demand side of a multi-billion-dollar industry.
