despite being raised among people who spoke in pronounced Alabama and Georgia accents, I never had much of one. I believe that being an #adoptee and an only child fueled a desire to be unlike them all (since in every other respect I already was).

ever be an #adoptee minding your own goddam business at a Wendy’s only to turn around to the wall behind you and see a gigantic Dave Thomas Foundation We ❤️ Adoption plaque

I got an advance reader’s copy of THE MINIMALIST, the forthcoming novel by writer, musician, #adoptee @[email protected], who will come to my library next month to discuss it!

Jennifer Finch was an #adoptee. RIP.

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!

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.

today—TODAY—i learned that a bakery within a short walk from my house was opened a Korean American #adoptee who envisioned it as “a space that prioritizes Asian American and adoptee voices.” and it’s closing! 😢 www.boston.com/food/food-ne...

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.

It is common? One estimate is that in Minnesota alone, over 17,000 people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ negligence. americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...

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.
