S3-#25 First Father ~ CJ
from Conversations About Adoption Hosted by Jenn Adoptee
An activist, comedian, director, and middle school theatre teacher, CJ Miller aspires to do everything he can to change the world for the better. A holder of degrees in both Theatre and Aerospace Technology, CJ is also a military veteran, an actor, and an outstanding dramaturg (even though no one knows what that is). CJ can be found on Tiktok as @childlessparent speaking out against the legalized human trafficking system in the United States known as “adoption” in creative and entertaining ways. Speaking of adoption, eight years ago CJ’s daughter was adopted away from him against his wishes. A traumatic story steeped in racism and white supremacy, the ex-girlfriend and mother of CJ’s child, a white Southern debutante, reached out to an adoption agency to help conceal her pregnancy and have the baby adopted out of the country. Why? Because she was afraid of losing her inheritance and being disowned by certain members of her family if they found out she had a child with a black man even though she had no problem letting her family know she was dating that black man. . . . . White women are weird. The adoption agency was more than willing to assist in separating a black man from his child for the sake of one white woman’s selfishness and another one’s infertility issues. And despite what feels like the entire country choosing not to acknowledge the cultural genocide of adoption, CJ is on a mission to be reunited with his daughter just like his heroes Bryan Mills and Bebe Chow.
