Journee Bradshaw was already 13 and came from a large, middle-class Ethiopian family when she arrived in the US. She thought she was going on a trip abroad whilst her adoptive parents had been told she was only 9 and destitute. But it was all a lie. The realisation that she was not going home was a terrible trauma: "Her world was ripped away from her and we can t replace that," says her adoptive grandmother. Her case is not an isolated one. Adoption agencies in the US are reluctant to allow more transparency in what has become a thriving business, which means abuses are easy and commonplace. For Journee and her adoptive family, it s been a disaster: "It s like selling. I feel like I ve been sold".
