People that think adoption is only wonderful, ignore the trauma of adoptees and their mothers, and use handmaid’s tale dehumanizing language like ‘donators’ should not be caring for children needing external care and prove why the adoption industry needs to change. #adopteevoices.

Daily reminder: Don’t tell a survivor what they should’ve done - you don’t know what they ‘should’ve’ done. #respectsurvivors.

People do not like it when survivors speak up and that is especially true for adoption survivors. #adopteevoices #listentosurvivors.

I made a post about how many adoptee’s worth is tied to how much they love their adoptive parents and an adoptive mom countered with a response that was all about her and basically proved my point. #itsnotaboutyou #adopteevoices.

One of the most shocking things about finding my family is how much they are like me because I grew up around people who were nothing like me. #adopteevoices.

Uniquely adoptee experience - holding your breath while the person on the phone for the first time tells you your parent’s name, date of birth, where they live, and that they are alive. It’s not okay to do this to anyone. It’s not beautiful-it’s trauma. #adopteevoices #adoption.

“You shall not lie” taught so many parents lying to their adopted child about the most important thing….#adopteevoices #adoption #latediscoveryadoptee.

“The problem wasn’t that you weren’t worth defending - the problem is we have a system that does not defend and protect survivors.”.#believeprotectdefend.

I’ve seen people be really mean on these platforms but some of the meanest I’ve seen are those defending adoption to adoptees. #adoption #adopteevoices.

When a mother is coerced into relinquishing her child and told her baby will be better off with a two parent loving home - what they’re really saying is your child will be better off with strangers. #adoption #coercion #adopteevoices.
