#adopteesonadoption — Public Fediverse posts

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.

"Adoption also isn't driven by children w/o families; it's driven by the desires & demands of unrelated strangers to add those children to their own families. The orphan discourse (& the resulting confusion about the actual numbers of orphans worldwide) reflects market demand for children, not children's actual need for care."
