About Me


I am a domestic private infant adoptee, who was adopted transracially by white parents in 1976, in Utah.

I was given up at birth, and left in a hospital by my biological maternal family. This was done because they believed their Mormon faith could not sustain a Black child within the home. My biological mother had been dating my father for many years, even living with him, yet she chose to leave her firstborn daughter in a hospital alone. My biological mother went on to become pregnant six months later with my all-white half sister, who was kept and raised by the very family that exiled me from it.
My mission now is to bring awareness to the corrupt private adoption system that profits billions off of selling babies, and children. 


Why the name Outspoken?


Growing up in my white adoptive family I was taught “children are seen not heard.” Due to this ingrained belief system I didn’t see value in my own voice. This allowed for me to be put in horrible situations, because I felt as if I would never be heard, believed, or seen. Now I know that was all part of the abuse via my adoptive parents, and family. I DO have a voice, and what I have to say absolutely DOES matter!
