TY @autistichoya for discussing transracial and transnational adoption, white supremacy, and ableism in Huxley's story.

Chinese adoptee, Grace Newton provides an excellent article that breaks down the Stauffer/Huxley case so we can better understand how horrific this truly is https://t.co/KYeVhGwb0i

At NPA, we are hurting for George Floyd and his family. We stand with the Black community. Yet again, we all must recognize the anti-Blackness rampant in the United States and take action against it.
