  354. Many adult adoptees are concerned about the new push to bring back adoption. Any child in care is a concern, but using inflated figures that don't reflect reality is also problematic. Oliver Jacques stated in his article on November 20 that there were 46,000 children living in foster care in Australia in 2016. Although the accurate figure from the AIHW is 46,500, almost half of that number are living with extended family in relative/kinship care. Why do children who are already living with their families have to be included to bolster the argument for increased adoption?

  381. Many adult adoptees are concerned about the new push to bring back adoption.
  382.  
  383. Any child in care is a concern, but using inflated figures that don't reflect reality is also problematic.
  384.  
  385. Oliver Jacques stated in his article on November 20 that there were 46,000 children living in foster care in Australia in 2016.
  386.  
  387. Although the accurate figure from the AIHW is 46,500, almost half of that number are living with extended family in relative/kinship care.
  388.  
  389. Why do children who are already living with their families have to be included to bolster the argument for increased adoption?
  390.  
  391. Adult adoptees are calling for studies to be done on the long-term effects of adoption over the lifespan, and asking that a real justification and genuine evidence-base be presented before applying this practice to more generations of Australians, rather than emotive articles with inflated figures.
  392.  
  393. And any argument about the permanence of adoption over guardianship needs to be countered by the fact that in every state/territory in Australia, except the Northern Territory and Western Australia, the adopter is able to apply to discharge the adoption.
  394.  
  395. The actual difference between 'closed' and 'open' adoption was not explained by Oliver Jacques.
  396.  
  397. 'Open' adoption still means the ancestry and kin ties are severed.
  398.  
  399. The child then adult still becomes "as if born to" the adopters with a false birth certificate produced and their true birth certificate cancelled.
  400.  
  401. 'Open' adoption just means there is some kind of undertaking that the child will see their family, or at least have information about them prior to turning 18.
  402.  
  403. Since the 1980s and 1990s most Australian adoptees have been able to see their original birth certificates when they turn 18, and Open Adoptions have been mandated in Victoria since 1984.
  404.  
  405. Variations around access to information is not new and doesn't change the reality of adoption itself.
  406.  
  407. Whether or not the adoptee sees their family (open adoptions often close due to jealousy and the power imbalances), they are not considered to be related to them anymore.
  408.  
  409. This, in the same way as closed adoptions, means that any possible future generations are also severed from their ancestry and remain supposedly related to the adopter's family tree.
  410.  
  411. And from reports from adult adoptees who were in open adoptions in the US, even a 'best-case scenario' open adoption with regular visits means the trauma and grief of closed adoption is just varied, not fixed.
  412.  
  413. The severing of ancestry and kin and the replacement of their birth certificate still occurs, and the child has to watch their family leaving them over and over again, feels torn and silenced, and doesn't feel truly part of either family.
  414.  
  415. Long-term guardianship needs to be improved as the only last resort if a child can't grow up with their family.
  416.  
  417. Obliterating ancestry is an extreme and unnecessary response to the problem of being able to make day to day decisions about children.
  418.  
  419. Adoption as is practiced in Australia today was developed to be about the adopter and their security and needs.
  420.  
  421. If this was really about the child, we wouldn't still be obliterating their ancestry and identity in the name of care.
