When you find out you were adopted life is like a bridge missing planks. You still have to cross it but it will be a difficult path with hazzards.
Bridges to Healing aims to open the discussion about adoption practices in Australia. It is our hope that adoptees are empowered to share their stories, without fear, judgement, or expectations. Through sharing, we heal. We hope to increase community and professional awareness about the issues surrounding adoption, and improve support for adoptees in Australia.

Baby bounty plan
LEGALISED child stealing - that is how Imbil family campaigner Kerri Saint sees new moves to re-introduce forced adoption in Australia.
Only months after parliaments around the country apologised to Australia's stolen white generation for the cruel injustices of a corrupt adoption system, Ms Saint says conservative governments are heading back to the bad old days.
Worst of all is a New South Wales proposal to enact a "bounty" system of paying adoption agencies up to $37,000 for every child they can produce for adoption. For the full story, see:http://www.gympietimes.com.au/news/baby-bounty-plan-outrage-imbil-mums-fight-on-legal/2129398/#comments
