Adoption and human trafficking (hexbear.net)

I watched a video by an adoptee who advocates against the adoption industry, claiming it is akin to human trafficking, and generally arguing that adoption is immoral.

This surprised me as something that I’ve never thought much about. Are there hexbears with thoughts or feelings on this view of adoption? Preferably people with direct experience? Any reading from a left/Marxist perspective would also be appreciated.

I'm assuming we're talking specifically about the adoption industry and not adoption as a concept, right?
