To my #AdopteeRights friends, if you want to support good causes, I can recommend many. I would strongly urge you to NEVER give a dime again, EVER, to any branch of the ACLU until the group formally apologizes for the harm it promotes in legislative settings to "class adoptee."
ADOPTION MYTH: SO MANY BABIES NEED HOMES "We have btwn 10 & 45 waiting families for every infant available. There's a huge demand for infants & almost no supply." - @gesisson, Research Sociologist braaainspodcast.com/episodes/adopt…
Some adoptees are fine with what they have and don't want to dig deeper or find more. Some of us have never been fine. Some of us discover we've never been fine later on in life. Non-adopted people, however, have no idea how we really feel and shld stay in their own lane.

@kidcancermom I suspect this is why so many people insist that adoption is an individual rather than collective experience. When you start looking at it as a system rather than individual experience, the harms become much more obvious.
The truth about California birth records---and many other states---is that ADOPTIVE PARENTS control whether a new amended birth record is created after an adoption. They just check a box.
If you resort to using "but I know an adopted person and they are fine/happy/grateful" while in a conversation with an #adoptee - that tells me everything I need to know about you. We're people, not props or tools used to "win" internet arguments, FFS
I’m really just disgusted by almost everything in this country right now but the ongoing absolute dipshit dumbassery about #adoption and relinquishment makes me want to scream. Relinquishing your child to adoption is NOT #Bravelove bravelove.org/stories
This 💯. The impact is the same no matter how good the intentions.

“Many relinquishing mothers count down to their child’s adulthood, when their relationship with them is no longer contingent on their adoptive parents’ permission… [Her daughter was nine.] ‘I am halfway through my sentence. Then I can speak openly.’”
The odds of being attacked by a bear are 1 in 2.1 million and a bear never chained anyone up in a basement for 18 years. The worst thing a bear can do is kill me and if I say I was attacked by a bear no one will ask me what I was wearing.

For those who are not adopted/displaced. I can't tell you how dehumanizing it is to have to fight for access to your own information.
@ZoraDoggie @corsent Being put in a breadbox is a cruelty I still can’t fathom. The USA has literally lost its collective mind.
-Adding to one’s family a child someone else cannot keep; -Having resources and support to keep the child one has. Guess which one liberals call a reproductive right?
Really sick of the pathologizing of adopted people who want to know the most basic information about their own origins. As @llmunro has said so well, genealogy is considered a delightful hobby unless you’re adopted. Then you are deranged, ungrateful or “insecure.”
I read at least 150 pages of @thesusanito’s memoir in the last 2 days & just finished it. I didn’t want it to end. I’m sitting in the Philly airport overwhelmed by how much I loved it & wanting to re-read every word. Thank you Susan for bringing this to life. #adoption
So much of this resonates with me. So many parallel feelings. Wishing healing and strength for all of us who ever spent a minute thinking we are broken or unworthy of being kept. 💔

@jlawyerlitigate @venus_weeping Adoptive parent here: nope. Children are not a commodity for childless couples. I repeat: children are not a commodity for childless couples. Everything about adoption should be centered in the best interest of children. Non-adopted people need to listen to Adult Adoptees
Dear non-adopted people, If an adoptee pops up in your family, please don't automatically assume they want money or something. 99.9% of us just want to know where we came from. Information is priceless too us. And be accepted is nice to. #reunion #adopteetwitter
@corsent It's quite a stunning moment to realize that the one thing in your life everyone told you didn't matter at all (being adopted) was actually the thing that impacted you the most. It's incredible.

277 Followers 2K Following He/Him IT/Privacy, Adoptee, bunch of other stuff https://t.co/Dl4G6745J7 https://t.co/1aVmDINBGcNothing in this world prepares you for rejection... Except being relinquished as an infant/baby/child, your adoptive family not accepting you as you'renot blood/real family, being shamed, shunned & bullied about being adopted as a kid & having unrealistic expectations put on you.
It dawned on me this week that I am almost ten years out of the adoptee fog (using that word here for convenience). That’s ten years of learning and understanding the impact of adoption on my life lifelong. And yet, I am still learning. 💕
@corsent It would be like foster care, but adding inheritance rights to it 🙃😂, as well as no financial support for raising a child from the state. There won‘t be many takers if not zero.
Dya know what I find interesting about being adopted (among many things)? Any given moment, a thought about adoption can pop into your head & then you have to decide whether you want to think about it or not. And sometimes if you think about it, it can take you bk to square 1.
Abolition is a vision of positive change. But there is a core component of adoption as it is practiced in the US that can be literally abolished: a legal process and structure invented a century ago, one that has never promoted the best interests of adoptees.
I often see adoption abolition described as ameliorating or eliminating the conditions under which people are compelled to resort to relinquishment. My conception of abolition involves something more: actual abolition of the legal structure of adoption as identity falsification.
Liberals’ love of adoption is a major obstacle to achieving reproductive justice in the United States.
As long as people are hoping to build families with children that their own parents cannot keep, they are implicitly hoping for a perpetuation of the social, legal, and material conditions that constitute reproductive injustice.
Adoption is always the transfer of children from families w/ less power to families with more. For every family that is formed from #adoption, a family is separated to make that adoption possible & those are the stories that we are missing. - @gesisson braaainspodcast.com/episodes/adopt…
@corsent As a mom who surrendered to closed adoption, I spent decades reassuring friends and others who had adopted, who needed a "selfless birth mom" they liked to do that. I hid my pain for their sake. In reunion my daughter told me she had suffered, not benefitted. I am devastated
@kim_penn It's wild how many of us were bought from the catholic chirch
@kim_penn That set of beliefs was def found in Bill Gothard stuff back in the 80’s-90’s. I remember being shocked when local homeschool families did not want their kids to play with adopted or biracial children because they were born in rebellion, or something like that.
@kim_penn As an adoptee raised in the same scenario (though it has always been my dad who has been the judging set of eyes), solidarity ❤️ We deserved better.
@kim_penn My evangelical amom got me from another country because 1. White saviorism, 2. It was cheaper, and 3. Because I was a “clean slate” she could mold into a good Christian. Didn’t work out well.
@kim_penn As an adoptee, Im in that same space. I was kind of opposite of you in my behavior: I was the "good adoptee" but the loudest echo was always that I was never quite good enough. I was the result of a girl gone bad and I internalized that shame. My rebellion came in the form of…
@twoshitmums None of us are average. We were all told we were special, weren’t we?
@twoshitmums Seems like Paul's average is out of 2 adoptees, 1 has severe mental illness and the other one is fine. Seems like a 50% chance of severe mental illness is average.
Can the ‘average adoptee’ please step forward?
@themouthyoufeed @DJGoff_Esq @TruthAgape You don't represent the average adoptee. Victimhood is a modern technique to appropriate false authority. My adopted relatives are well adjusted except 1 who has severe mental issues since age 6. His sister is well adjusted.
@corsent I'm pretty successful professionally because of middle class adoption upbringing but relinquishment/adoption has taken from me all sense of trust in other people and an ability to feel safe in relationships other than totally dysfunctional ones. I'm not sure that's success. :/
