The Colombian transnational adoptee diaspora is a marginalized subgroup of the Latine community seldom acknowledged yet growing in solidarity. As evidence of the illicit Colombian transnational adoption practices have intensified so have the efforts to support adoptee social justice rights. This article outlines how Liberation Psychology principles serve to facilitate action to address historical injustices promulgated by illicit adoption practices. The mental health consequences impacting adult Colombian transnational adoptees are described. Implications for psychologists and mental health providers are discussed
