Thankyou DMC and Zara Phillips!

for helping to expose how mistreated we Adoptees are by the government and for helping to banish the myths spewed out by the Adoption Industry that buy and sell children like we are sacks of potatoes. If you have not read the heart wrenching lyrics composed by these two very talented Adoptees, then take a look at what follows:
"Tell me do you remember
When you’re on the streets
Do you look for me,
The way I look for you,
how I wish I knew, I wish I knew,
as Darryl raps,
At night I can't sleep, I toss and turn My true reality is what I wanna learn
But they are tellin me I can't see the proof On a little piece of paper that holds the truth
Of who I am and what I be Yeah I’m living but I’m missin a part of me
I have a right to know where I come from"

"At night I can't sleep
I toss and turn
My true reality is what I wanna learn
But they are tellin’ me I can't see the proof
On a little piece of paper that holds the truth
Of who I am and what I be
Yeah I'm living but I'm missin’ a part of me
I have a right to know where I come from
Cause it’s my human right like everyone.”

We Adoptees all know we feel these lyrics in our souls every day and can as well further appreciate the words of Zara Phillips herself concerning being denied our Civil Rights in this country:
“Growing up in England, I always saw the United States as being so far ahead, but with this, America is really behind. When I heard how backward things are here, all I could think was, ‘Are you kidding?’”
DMC has made equally important and poignant statements concerning how unfairly we "Illegitimates" are treated in America:
“Knowing who you are is about health, happiness — a human right",
"People who aren’t part of the adoption community don’t know about the issues, the pain, the emotions that can come from not knowing where you come from.”
I am hoping like everyone else, that this much needed musical testament to all we have lost, that also shines a light on the unjust emotional torture sealed files have caused us throughout our lives, will help win New Jersey Adoptees legal access to the little peice of paper that will let them be legit human beings in the USA once and for all, and will eventually help all of us Adoptees have access to our true idenities, our heritage, and our medical records by being granted the right to possess our orginal birth certificates as well. I agree with other Adoptees that "I'm Legit" would be an incredible theme song for this year's Adoptees Rights Protest in July, and I hope DMC and Zara win a Grammy for it! No one deserves that award more than you two! You both rock and will always be heros to all of us....so again, thankyou!

Celebrities Speak Out Against CPS

"The foster care system is totally obsolete. Kids are being killed, abused and even experimented on.At age 18, they are aged out of the system, they give them $5 and a bag of lunch and say go live your life. Most of these kids end up in trouble, jail, or a mental institution. All the kids in the group homes, juvenile detention centers and over half of the people in prison overall come from the foster care system."
Darryl "DMC" McDaniels

"When you look at the number of African American children in foster care around the country and you look at the woe that has befallen the children, it breaks your heart. A lady said to me in Oakland, Ca., "Mr. Cosby, you should see them when they get out of the van and they're being transferred from one house to another and they have everything they own in the world in a black Hefty bag that they're carrying. They look like refugees." She said that you look at the children's faces and there's neither happiness nor anger. There's nothing left. If by age 18, you've been in over 20 homes, how do you trust anybody anymore? Our people need to feel these things and hear these things. They need to feel it like when you rip a Band-Aid off. We need to feel the sting. Otherwise, it becomes as ordinary as saying, "Pass the salt." How many more stories do we have to hear? Come on people, it's time for change".
Bill Cosby

"I am tired of children being removed from parents who love them.I know personally of a similar case.... I and several young actors will start talking about this case and highlight this issue in the international press if this will not stop."
Q'orianka Kilcher

"To be honest with you, I hold what I call a flawed culture in the Department of Child Safety responsible.They struck me as people with no morals, no ethics and they are only there for careers and not for a concern about the people who they are taxpayer-funded to serve.I find it evil and I think the taxpayer needs to know.It would seem the care of children has been lost in bureaucratic games."
Don Greene

"The safety I fear was the abuse in foster homes, because I wasn't abused and raped on the streets the message I got was that the streets were safer in my mind; when your young you think that your immortal."
Cupcake Brown, Author of "A Peice Of Cake"
