This page outlines the legal terms and conditions governing access to and use of this website, which presents the personal medical archive, guardian/adoption archives, and creative works of D. Bear.
1. Ownership and Authorship
All documents, records, images, artwork, and writings presented on this website are the personal medical records, creative works, and personal writings of the site owner.
These materials were lawfully obtained through authorized record-release processes and are displayed solely for documentation, education, historical research, and public transparency.
All records relate to the site owner, who publishes under the name D. Bear for privacy.
These records and creative materials are published under the doctrines of fair use, educational exception, and personal-record disclosure rights applicable under U.S. and international law.
2. Purpose of Disclosure
All content is provided in good faith for legitimate public-interest purposes. It is not intended—and shall not be construed—as defamatory, slanderous, accusatory, or otherwise injurious toward any individual, organization, or institution.
Commentary and interpretation represent the Owner’s personal understanding, lived experience, and opinion based on contemporaneous records, memories, and corroborating recollections shared by witnesses or family members.
3. Accuracy, Interpretation, and Lived Experience
Every effort has been made to ensure faithful transcription and contextual accuracy for the reproduced records. Some originals contain handwriting or text that is partially illegible or ambiguous; such passages are clearly marked Illegible.
Where interpretation was required, the Owner made reasonable, good-faith efforts to infer meaning consistent with the surrounding context.
The materials reflect a combination of documentary evidence, lived experience, and remembered or reported recollections.
The Owner attests that these materials are presented truthfully and responsibly, without intent to mislead or cause harm. No representation or warranty—express or implied—is made as to the absolute accuracy or completeness of any transcription, interpretation, or recollection.
4. No Legal or Medical Advice
Nothing on this website constitutes legal, medical, or professional advice. Visitors should not rely upon any statement herein as a substitute for consultation with licensed professionals.
5. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Owner disclaims all liability for loss, damage, or injury of any kind arising from reliance upon or use of the materials presented.
By accessing this site, visitors agree to release, indemnify, and hold the Owner harmless from all claims, demands, or actions arising out of such access or reliance.
This limitation applies to all jurisdictions, including without limitation the United States, the European Union, and international visitors.
6. Privacy and Confidentiality
All identifiable information relating to third parties has been redacted wherever possible.
Any remaining institutional or professional names appear only as they exist in official documents, for the purpose of accurate citation and historical record.
Signatures on archival documents appear only to verify authenticity within the historical record. They are not used for endorsement or identification purposes.
7. Copyright and Permitted Use
All original writings, analyses, artwork, transcriptions, videos, and compilations on this site are protected under applicable copyright laws.
No material may be reproduced, distributed, or quoted out of context without prior written authorization from the Owner.
Original medical records remain the property of their respective institutions.
8. Acceptance of Terms
By continuing to access or view this website, visitors acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms of Use.
Anyone who does not accept these terms is respectfully asked to discontinue access.
9. Statement of Intent
All materials, commentary, and recollections are shared in good faith, without malice or intent to harm, defame, or injure any person or institution.
The sole purpose of this archive is to preserve historical accuracy, document lived experiences, and uncover factual history that remains unclear to the Owner, who was an orphaned child at the time of many of these events.
The archive concerns events that took place decades ago, and many of the individuals involved are of advanced age or deceased. The materials are therefore presented in the spirit of historical reconstruction and personal truth-seeking, not accusation.
The Owner expressly disavows any malicious or reckless disregard for truth and welcomes verified corrections or documentary evidence from credible sources.
The Owner’s objective is understanding, transparency, and recovery of a history that was once lost—not the assignment of blame.
10. Work in Progress Notice
This archive is an ongoing documentation project.
Records and narratives may be updated or clarified as additional materials are reviewed or verified.
All information is presented in good faith based on the best available evidence at the time of publication.
© 2025 D. Bear's Personal writings, transcriptions, artwork, video, and website design are protected under copyright. Original medical records remain the property of their respective institutions.
