1st Annual BIPOC Adoptees VOICES Multi-Day Conference | July 26-28, 2024 at Portland State University
BIPOC adoptees have suffered from family separation and ethnic displacement. Many of us are immigrants who have also been separated from our homelands from injustices stemming from imperialism and colonialism. Many of us are Native adoptees who experience an acute kind of loss from the history of violent settler colonialism on Turtle Island that has resulted in familial and cultural loss, the degradation of the Earth, and the continued oppression Native peoples. We stand in solidarity with our Native siblings. Our organization occupies the unceded ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, Molalla, and other tribes whose homes ran along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers. We offer our deep respect and solidarity to these communities.
