Overseas AdoptionDoes Not Protect Children.
We call for all governments to declare a halt to the multi-billion-dollar child market, recognizing all the human rights violations and advocating for the protection of families and children for generations to come.
우리는 모든 정부가 수십억 달러 규모의 아동 시장을 중단하고, 모든 인권 침해를 인정하며, 미래 세대를 위해 가족과 아동을 보호하기 위해 옹호할 것을 촉구합니다.
"This is a powerful and important read for all. The adoptee's voice is all too often silenced, and it can literally be life or death for some to be heard and seen."
