Totally bad form #rookiemove but I carried my book around with me today like I was reading it and loved it too much to leave at home when really it was cheap self-publishing marketing move. #selfpublished #selfpromotion #notforsissies #yourstorymatters #youcandoit

This one was so fun to write. Mother hunger can translate into two pizzas and a side of fries. #mother hunger #adopted #adoptee #adoption #howtofeedyouradoptee #sohungry

The @netflix film Stutz is the tool belt many of us need. #jonahhill #philstutz #motherhunger #adoptee

Now I know that some (A LOT) of the trauma pain adoptees suffer is optional, I am enraged that the opportunity to experience therapist-supported MDMA sessions are illegal. https://t.co/Mlrt3wHvGY #Adopted #adopteehealing #adoption #MDMAhealing #MDMA

Adopted AF on @Bonfire https://t.co/3oP9Z5Q5cm I made a t-shirt because I thought it was funny and accurate. #adopted #adoptee #adoption #adopteetshirt

The cool thing about astrology for adopted people is that, as long as we know the time and place we were born (not at all a given), we can see the story of our roots in the starts and planets. #adopted #adoptee #astrology #adopteemedium

We are going to create damaged, hurting children who will grow up into damaged, hurting adults. https://t.co/LNqbGdbr7l #RoeVsWade #RoeVsWadeOverturned #adopted #adoptee #youdontlookadopted

Our in-person adoptee retreats are back in Davis, CA. Adopted people do better in community. Come join us! #adopteeretreats #adoption #adopted #youdontlookadopted @PamCordano

I took an article in @TheAtlantic by Joe Pinsker and had fun replacing key words to change a piece about narrative structure and the pandemic to one about narrative structure and adoption. #adopted #adoptee #adoption

A father wrote to me after reading my book to ask how he could better show up for his 16-year-old adopted daughter who refuses therapy. I wish I had better answers. Do you? #adopted #adoptee #adoption #adoptiveparent https://t.co/sUD91mzaCz

(1/2) @HarvardWBB coach Kathy Delaney-Smith is retiring this spring after 40 seasons at Harvard & 51 total. For @TheNextHoops, I wrote about her tenure at Westwood HS (Mass.) & how she not only dominated on the court, but also was a Title IX pioneer. https://t.co/XXScPY94xW

I'm doing a Sunday morning hour of power class for adopted people with Dr. Joyce Maguire Pavao. https://t.co/EIYBi05FjT #adopteecommunity #adopted #adoptee #learningadoptiontrauma #adoptiontrauma #youdontlookadopted

If adopted people really understood the effects on the brain after a baby is separated from their mother, perhaps they would ease up on themselves a bit and stop pressing the accelerator down on an exhausted car. #adopted #exhaustedadoptee #takeabreak #scatteredmind

Being adopted would have been more manageable if my parents and teachers and friends knew the chaos I carried in my head. It’s so lonely to feel singular. #adopted #adoptee #adoption #youdontlookadopted

What if adopted people didn't have to explain themselves because they just stopped trying and saved their energy for something productive? #adopted #adoptee #adoption

I find understanding and empathy and compassion for my birth mother in the most unexpected places. Sometimes trauma can make you overly self-focused, unable to comprehend that it’s not always about you. #adopted #adoptee #adoption

Today when I was writing my gratitude list, by mistake I wrote “3 things I am greatful for” and then it hit me how strong the adopted people I know are and how full of great they are. #adopted #adoptee #adoption

What if the most unrelenting abandonment for adopted people has to do with the way we abandon ourselves because we didn’t feel seen when we most needed it?

I'm wondering what would shift for adopted people if they read the book Cured by @jeffrey_rediger after reading #theprimalwound. Would hope walk into the room? Would strength? Empowerment? Tools? New ideas? #adopted #adoption #adoptee #adopteehealing

We've been talking about dreams with adopted people this month and it's interesting to me how so many struggle (including me) with feeling free to have dreams that come from deep inside of us, instead of from those around us. #adopted #adoptee #adoption
