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.
