The problem is that almost everyone involved in the debate over #adoptee rights—except for a few adoptees and birthparents—frames the debate as a matter of balancing the rights of all parties involved.
No. Sealing birth records violates ONLY the adoptee’s rights. Unsealing them violates NO ONE’s.

oh I’m on a blocklist? that’s fine. I’m an #adoptee. The government put me on a blocklist

I’m hoping Kathryn finds a good landing place! More than once, during the #adoptee meetup I attended this past weekend, I cited THE CHILD CATCHERS, her pathbreaking book on the Christian adoption crusade. We need Kathryn Joyce to keep digging into things!

Sandra is the second #adoptee I’ve seen in the past two minutes posting about access to our birth records as an out-of-body experience. I agree. Holding my OBC was the most deeply transformative moment of my life, even deeper than becoming a parent (which started me on the path to it).

i get really emotional these days both because my children are reaching these moments in their lives and also because i, an #adoptee not raised by my parents, get to be involved in raising my own children. it’s all a bit much to take in.

as an #adoptee i am as opposed to forcing people into parenthood as i am to forcing people out of parenthood. Both are central to the fascist Right’s program of white supremacist, patriarchal family engineering.

The way it works is: if I add your account to the feed, then any of your posts containing hashtags like #adoption #adoptee #adopteesky #adopteevoices or the 🥚 symbol will go into the feed. Otherwise they won’t. Lmk if you’d like to be added!

hey #adoptee friends who followed me on here after I gave my Facebook/Instagram farewell! There’s a feed for folks to post about adoption. Let me know if you’d like to be added! bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm an #adoptee & friends and I've created a Discord server for adoptees & biological siblings of adoptees [whether they're in reunion with their adopted siblings or not]. It's an attempt at both having a space for adoptees to chat, but also having a space where biological siblings can learn what adoptee-life has been like while also learning to connect with adoptees in general and hopefully having their own space to chat with fellow bio-sibs. There aren't very many members -- I think less than 10 right now. But we're there.
We are also trying to build up a Signal chat, but that is adoptees only. If you'd like to join either group, feel free to PM me for the link.
We're very no drama. We just want to hang out casually, socially and be able to bring up adoption topics for mutual discussion.

I was at a gallery displaying student artwork, including some of my 17yo’s, and I complimented one of their classmates on her painting and I said, “by the way I’m *****’s dad.” And she said, “I had a feeling.” my #adoptee heart leapt a mile. I don’t care if she was roasting me.

being a mouthy #adoptee online has taught me—who enjoys every social privilege *other* than being adopted—so much about what it can be like to have one’s ideas and voice co-opted by people who can reap praise for “outspokenness” without facing any real risk of abuse for speaking out.

being an #adoptee who was taken from my birth mother because of a complete lack any of social provision enabling her to keep me, I think of the treatment meted out to her and latter-day birthmothers and try to remind myself that in the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin was supposed to be the *villain*.

because i am a librarian and therefore move in rarefied circles of power and privilege, i got a copy of this report. 😎 #adoptee friends (and anyone else who is interested), DM me. I’ll actually look at my DMs for once.

I won't go into the details that bring this request on because I'm an #adoptee and the background stories of people within my community, are deeply profound, often painful, and incredibly difficult to share.
Parents: Please. Tell all your children about each other's existence. Even when we cannot grow up together, we need that knowledge. It's a part of us. Even if we're only half-siblings, we're still siblings.
Oh, and one more thing: whether we contact each other as adults 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 UP 👏 TO 👏 YOU.

another #adoptee i know calls intercountry adoption “disaster capitalism,” and i think that’s absolutely on the nose. Kathryn Joyce’s THE CHILD CATCHERS makes this vivid.

this story, of the Trump regime trying to deport an intercountry #adoptee from a country she never chose to enter and that is also the only place she has ever called home—should be getting more attention.

my belief that the state should only record and never dictate or constrain a person’s identity is why i see #adoptee rights and trans rights as connected at the very root.

this is what it’s like to be an #adoptee who talks frankly about adoption on social media. To be fair, it is a MILLION TIMES worse on other platforms than it is here.

@genealogy I'm working ever so slowly on my family tree & ran into a question: I'm an #adoptee My biological parents never married, so on sites like Family Search, I must select a preferred parent rather than them being listed as both my parents... this makes it difficult to view my entire tree. Any suggestions to fix this?

#AdopteesofMastodon #adoptee #adopteevoices :
Do you speak up about adoption online? If so what is it that you're attempting to share or teach other humans about adoption?
So often on mainstream social media, I see my fellow adoptees speaking out. I applaud them. I believe their experiences are 💯 valid no matter how they choose to present it, or whether I agree with them; however, in checking in with myself after reading their posts, I often feel a sense of negativity -- as though I'm walking away from a toxic exchange. I'm uncertain if this is merely social media somehow tainting their message, or if the individuals are simply so hurt by their experiences that the telling of them is a bit much, even for a fellow adoptee.
I wonder if any others are like me in that they believe it entirely possible to share negativity without requiring others to drink the same poison, in a sense??
Would love to see a discussion on this if anyone's open to it.

I've just edited my profile introduction & thought I'd do another posted intro as well, since it's been awhile.
🍕 I'm from the #stateofGeorgia in Southeastern US.
🍕 An actual #adoptee, I'm in reunion with some of my biological family.
🍕 I #crochet and #draw | #sketch and enjoy practicing amateur #mobilephotography -- this is my work as traditional employment wasn't the best fit for me.
🍕 I'm proud of my #Appalachian roots | birth culture and always looking for good #stories about life in those mountains.
👾 I play #StardewValley
🌈 Rainbow-friendly, y'all.
🖋️ Office | #Stationery supplies are my jam!! Sadly, I'm rarely asked about my favorite pens or pencils etc.What are y'all up to?
-
as i have said before and will never tire of saying, i am in awe of the energy, creativity, and courage of the Korean #adoptee diaspora in bringing the realities of adoption in front of the eyes of those—millions of them—who prefer to look the other way.

I finally got 'round to updating my Substack and going to work on posting there more often now.
I've been marveling at how much easier it is to get things done without Meta-based brain clutter.
I've not left Meta -- I may eventually hop on & deactivate accounts. But for now, I've backed away quietly. A big part of this is the fact that I'm in recent reunion with my biological family. I'm an #adoptee -- so not only am I recently in reunion, but several have added me on Facebook & it makes me sad to think of leaving the platform totally behind... feels a little like severing those relationships without giving them half a chance, even though that's not what I'd be doing at all. I will be inviting some of my newly-acquainted first family to other apps where we can do the same things as on Facebook, but I'm taking my time to figure the best way to phrase those invitations.
