Alarm Bells are going off 🔔🔔🔔

🔔🔔🔔

By Trace L Hentz, blog editor

Have you done an internet search? 

Do you use a personal computer or a phone?

To find you updates, I do use google search and firefox duck-duck go, etc.  But I noticed stories (using keywords) are not there anymore, and I do wonder how much longer this website/blog can exist...

I do research all the time, but keywords are disappearing, and it's happening so fast I hear alarm bells going off.

The internet was FREE (to get us addicted) - so NOW maybe the inventors (like Google) got what they wanted from us to train their AI, so now they don't want the internet to be free anymore - news we need to read will be behind paywalls... 

Do a google search like "adoptees" and see what you find....

I try to keep you current on all kinds of news and topics, but it's getting weird... I started this as a blog in late 2009, the internet was just starting to become a treasure trove.

Putting original writing on the internet may not exist much longer.  I KNOW that books, on paper, cannot be altered, but online, content can and does and will disappear... I have seen it with a free book I put on its own website in 2022:  https://www.findingtheinvisibles.com -  Get this: Images started to disappear.  I noticed that chapters were out of order, though I uploaded everything in order.  One chapter three disappeared! (Now it is there. I reloaded it...)

👉👇I had a thought I'd do an old-fashioned printed newsletter instead of this website if the internet does blow up and disappear.  I'd mail it out to you, if necessary. 

But that costs money to print and mail, right?  I'd have to charge you for a subscription! I never wanted to do that...

Are we going backwards? Will we have to get newsletters by mail? But the post office has issues, too.

Why is this happening?  

Information is needed to counter the chaos! (and outright lies and panic and craziness)

We know the adoption industry makes billions every year and their propaganda was all you'd see about ADOPTION... but adoptees (you and me) changed that... we fought back with our voices... and I think we WON!

I just wanted you to be aware that this information, years and years of articles, will remain free, as long as I can keep it up and running. (I do pay $$ for domain names.) (I do not run ads or make any money off this website.) (If you buy a book through bookshop or amazon I will see a small payment as a royalty.)

UPDATE:  The COUNT 2024 (of adoptees) didn't work. Not enough adoptees took the survey and mailed it back to me.  So that failure is on me... it didn't work.  I just wanted you to know...

So a huge thanks for reading, thanks for making comments and most of all, thank you for your emails to me.

Just keep my email if this website disappears: tracelara@pm.me.

We will work this out and build our future together... as a community
