According to an investigation by the BBC, a secret church in the United States allegedly abused and forced women to release children to adopt. The church, known as The Truth or The to the Twos, forced hundreds of unmarried mothers to leave their children – without seeing them – to adopt between 1950 and 1990s.
At least four unmarried women have shared their harsh stories of pressurizing their children to leave. Three of them were feared to be expelled from the church and sent hell if they refused.
A woman, who was just 17 years old in raping her in 1988, alleged that she was pressurized to give her child to a married couple in the church. “My fear of going to hell was so great that it forced me to make my mind to leave the child in the church,” she told the BBC. Another claimed that he was not allowed to see his daughter daughter before the child was permanently snatched away.
Not only this, some church-adopted children have said that they were abused and neglected by their adopted families. The FBI has initiated an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse within the church, with 100,000 members worldwide.
The BBC reported that six people, who were adopted as children between the 1960s and 1980s, included a woman, alleging that she was physically and emotionally abused in her first adopted family. She used to do and sexually abuse the other.
Adopted children were referred to as “Baldwin infants”, as the adoption looked after Dr. Valley was performed by Baldwin, who died in 2004. Dr. According to a minister working with Baldwin, some women stayed at their home during Oregon. Their pregnancy.
The actual number of Baldwin infants is unknown, but Dr. Baldwin’s adopted son, Gary Baldwin speculated that it is “less than 200.” Gary admitted that the mistakes were made in the veating process, but claimed that his father’s intentions were good, while others also said that he remembers that he remembers him. However, the former members of the sect believe that the church and its ministers, known as workers, should take responsibility for the trauma caused by adoption.
The British Broadcaster approached six senior officials of the truth, known as “overseer” for comment. Only one replied, stating that he knew about any adoption that was “done through legal channels” and he had “heard some beautiful stories.”
