Today is World Adoption Day. In The History Of Foster Care, we traced the origins of The Orphan Train Movement as the creation of a national foster care and adoption system that continues to affect adoptees to this day. Read the full story in TrooRa’s The Womb Issue 2026.We also feel it’s important to acknowledge that November is National Adoptee Awareness Month, and that adoption has lifelong impact on adoptees. To learn more about the systemic and cultural impact of adoption from adoptees themselves, visit AdopteesUnited.org.@adopteesunitedinc @adoptees4justice#WorldAdoptionDay #FosterCareHistory #OrphanTrainMovement #NationalAdopteeAwarenessMonth #LifelongImpactOfAdoption #CulturalImpactOfAdoption #TrooRaTheWombIssue2026 #SupportForAdoptees

This week, Americans clearly rejected the recent increase in hate, fear, and destruction at the ballot box, showing that when we organize, we really do achieve the impossible. Despite these unprecedented wins, representation and voting alone aren’t enough. We’re celebrating for a moment, but beyond our duty as citizens to vote, our focus is on what’s next.As the winning candidates propose policies on regaining progress through restoring reproductive rights, ending U.S. participation in overseas atrocities via defense spending, meal programs for children, reining in AI data centers, criminal prosecution for unlawful and lethal immigration crackdowns, affordable healthcare, and many other areas, we encourage you to get involved in making sure these life-changing policies make it through.
