The first thing my uncle said to me when I met him was that a few years later they regretted what happened and “would never have given that baby away” and would’ve found a way to work it out. That meant so much to me. Adoption is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I got to spend the most wonderful week with my mom living in her house. I feel like I got to live my ‘ghost kingdom’ and it was beautiful. #adopteevoices

“Your light may irritate a lot of unhealed people” …or your self righteousness may irritate everyone. Please stop using ‘healing messages’ to pit survivors against each other. #respectsurvivors

“After abuse and trauma, it seems like everyone suddenly believes they are the expert—on abuse, on trauma, on what you should have done, and on what you should do now. But the truth is, they don’t. Their advice comes from their own perspective—not yours.“ https://t.co/cieKrsWKGi

This. Domestic violence survivors are intelligent, courageous, and they know how to calculate their risk better than anyone. They deserve respect, protection, justice, and support. #domesticviolencedisruptionandjusticemonth

The Baby Scoop Era: When Shame Stole Our Mothers Between 1945–1973, up to 4 million babies were taken from unmarried mothers, shamed and silenced by families, faith, and society. We are not a shame. We are the truth they tried to hide. #BabyScoopEra https://t.co/XkGRtm9Fmw

“We are not a shame. Our mothers are not a shame. The shame belongs to the families, religious institutions, and systems that failed them.” #babyscoopera #adopteevoices https://t.co/XkGRtmadc4

My daughter’s perpetrator donated to the children’s advocacy center she reported him to and they sent him a thank you note. Kindness without truth is manipulation. #believeprotectdefend

We need to stop excusing the heinous actions of perpetrators with ‘hurt people, hurt people’ and instead realize that cruel people enjoy being cruel. #perpetrator101

Ethereum is achieving ultimate neutrality by evolving into a universal and mathematically verifiable settlement layer, proven by the Cambrian explosion of independent execution environments that have chosen it as their common anchor for security and truth.

People love to tell adoptees who their ‘parent’ is. People love to tell survivors that “they’re still your parent” Your family are the people that love, stand up for you, and protect you. No one has the right to tell you who that is. #bloodisnotthickerthanabuse #adoptiontrauma

So many stories from the Baby Scoop Era of fathers telling their young pregnant daughters not to bring their shame home. But those babies grew up and thanks to DNA we are on the family tree and we are reassigning the shame to them for not protecting their daughter and grandchild.

I hurt myself, my children, and my mother with a misplaced sense of responsibility to my adoptive family that ended up lying to me my whole life. If you’re an adoptee, your adoptive family should be the first people making sure you know your family and identity. #adopteevoices

Other than my children, every person in my life that has said they loved me only loved how much I loved them. #adopteevoices #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth

If an adoptee is afraid to look for their family because it may hurt their adoptive parents then they are in a controlling relationship - not a loving one. If the adoptive parents love the child they care about them knowing their family, heritage, and identity and never hide it.

“Whenever I hear someone say, “They just don’t want to heal,” I always think, “Well, now we know why they are struggling.” This kind of judgment is not care; it’s control dressed up as concern.” https://t.co/UUr62kuYkp

It’s the worst thing to feel that you being around your child hurts them. It’s cruel to tell a mother that her child is better off without her just because she’s not married or lacking resources. It’s no wonder suicide rates are so high for mothers coerced into relinquishment.

In the adoption narrative you always hear that a child needs a ‘two parent home’ or a ‘mother and father’ but no one talks about how many adoptive homes end in divorce and/or domestic abuse. #domesticabuseawarenessmonth #adoptiontrauma
