Despite being raised by U.S. citizen parents and having no memories of her country of birth, the woman is in active immigration removal proceedings that threaten to deport her to Iran, where the U.S. has not held diplomatic ties since 1980. Her father, a decorated WWII U.S. Air Force veteran, survived a German POW camp and death march before bringing her home to the U.S.

Jean Uhrich, January 23, 1957 – June 17, 2025. A Memorial and Memoir

As I said, Jean Uhrich was a force of nature. Maddeningly so. She could be opinionated en extremis. There were times when I wanted to scream “just shut up,” but didn't. And, she could be kind and generous. She loved Bastards and loved the fight. She stood for something. Jean's work will not go to waste. One of these days California WILL fall. Jean was a warrior. She stood on the shoulders of Bastard Elders and others will stand on her shoulders. Jean will be missed. Is missed.

Bastard Nation Comments on the Uniform Law Commission’s “Unregulated Transfer of Adopted Children Act draft, September 24, 2020

Marley Greiner — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 14:13:04 +0000

A statute outlawing unregulated child transfer of adoptees is not an over-reaction as some say, to a handful of cases. It is a reasonable and long-time-coming response to a decades-long pattern of child abuse, bad adoption practice, and ultimately child trafficking that has harmed thousands of adopted people both inter-country and domestic.

Use our timeline for amusement and education. Imagine the fun you'll have telling your state legislators that your records were sealed before Pearl Harbor was bombed; Babe Ruth retired and Jackie Robinson broke the color line; school segregation was illegal; Social Security and the CIA existed; Watergate, Elizabeth was Queen; Malcolm X and Martin Luther King were assassinated....and before most of those lawmakers were born.
