Interesting to see @aljazeera.com posting US war propaganda with a sprinkle of #adoption propaganda on top. www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

🥚 Tip 1: “Gather specifics about your family history” Gift link for adoptees barred by law from knowing our parentage and family medical history because maintaining the secrecy of our existence matters more than maybe saving our lives. Love this for us. 1/2 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/w...

🥚Baby boxes? NO. #childabandonment boxes are cruel and based on lies and false tropes. "According to the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child, all children have the right to know who their parents are, and their own identity." #releasetherecords www.npr.org/sections/the...

This is testimony submitted to a House committee on the bill in January 2025. The Senate committee takes up the bill at 1 p.m. PST today, April 17, 2025. You can find all of the testimony here. Many #Adoptees and adoptee groups testified strongly: VOTE NO! olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/M...

It's more like "listen to some adoptee voices but not others." I am literally amplifying the voices of infant and child adoptees who are being killed and I'm silenced for it. Silencing me is silencing them. How sick is it there are adoptees advocating for an industry that kills infant adoptees.

I wish every therapist would read this new article. "While there is little current research specific to adoptees who are LGBTIA+, there is growing research on multiple minority stress and people who are both Black, Indigenous, People Of Color (BIPOC)/People of the Global Majority and LGBTQIA+." 🥚

We are now less than 2700 signatures away from a badly needed Westminster debate on decriminalising abortion. We could hit the threshold today! There are more court hearings coming NEXT MONTH. No more punishment for pregnancy outcomes petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

This story breaks my heart and enrages me. 🥚💔

I speak up on behalf of these victims. I've come to understand what they have been through. It's wrong and needs to stop. No more victims. No more deaths. The truth may be uncomfortable and inconvenient for many, but it cannot be suppressed or denied forever, it must be acknowledged. #adoptees

🧾 And here's some trivia for us: "Many orphan train children went to live with families that placed orders specifying age, gender, and hair and eye color. Others were paraded from the depot into a local playhouse, where they were put up on stage, thus the origin of the term 'up for adoption.'"

The human trafficking industry has used adoption propaganda to commit war crimes, genocides, and other crimes against humanity, yet people still want to keep it going. Its as if they are oblivious to the reality of just how devastating this industry has been on human history, even now.

Let's all be clear that it's not "adoption" that is the problem, its human trafficking. #humantrafficking

Let's do this #adopteesky!

This is my message, but let's make it our message.

Today, Jan. 21, 2025, is the 90th anniversary of California's sealed birth certificate bill, the day it was introduced in the legislature.🤯 The good news is that adoptee activists are talking to legislators about a bill to reverse it. Here's an image of the 1935 bill. See especially lines 10 and 11.

Things like mothers getting bullied and harrassed, DNA attraction, disrespect, violence and sometimes abuse from adoptees to their mothers after reunion. But I try to do it gently #birthmothertrauma m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

Fellow #adoptees of Bluesky, what is your preferred word to describe your first/bio/birth mother/parents? Personally I prefer first mother/parents, but I'd love to hear what you prefer and why. 🥚

🥚 “more than a dozen counts that include forced labor, civil rights violations, human trafficking, gross child neglect” Can’t understand why people choose to adopt kids just to abuse them? It’s because you’ve been propagandized with adoption-so-beautiful mythology. This story is not exceptional.

So was there a gun to your head to make you relinquish your child? Nooo.. it was much more subtle than that .. m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

"As adoptees, aka victims & commodities, seeking the truth of what has happened to us must be the first step. Identifying the problem is necessary in deprogramming ourselves from the industry’s propaganda...It’s time we all see the industry which has built a multibillion-dollar trafficking scheme."

Transracial adoption is the ultimate diversity hire. Just like adoption has been used as a racist tool to control, erase and oppress, it has also been used to appear including and non-racist. The transracial adoptee performs the role of the token diversity hire, whilst being forced to assimilate. 🥚

The machinery of transferring babies/children to strangers for #adoption is older than most realize. In Ontario, adoptions were originally processed under the Guardianship Act. By 1921, the Adoption Act was created, relieving the Children's Aid Society (CAS) of certain responsibilities. 1/2

thanks to the amazing @violetbfox.bsky.social there is now a Wikipedia page on #adoptee rights! Those in the intersection of “adopted” and “Wikipedian” please take note! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoptee...

How to manufacture a supply of unwanted babies: Ban abortion; send unwed pregnant women to institutions where they provide labor, can’t leave, and are required to surrender their infants as a precondition for food, shelter, and medical care; seal records and birth certificates to prevent reunions.🥚

First off..what is non blood kinship care? And who are “ they” that dont allow the child to see her parents until the adoption is finalised.. I see so much in this story that doesn’t make sense? #adopteevoices m.facebook.com/story.php?st...

www.amazon.com/Death-Adopti... From "Death By Adoption" by Joss Shawyer, p 4, published in 1979! "People who are not adopted spend money and time trekking the world in search of their ancestral heritage... Family trees are pored over, endless journeys made by people who know who they are... + 1/3

I suppose this essay means I'm a traitor to my former profession: public health. I'm more of a turncoat forced "adoptee/spy," who points out hypocrisy of adoption/public health. My essays have few friends, even among adoptees. (In honor of my late bio-uncle.) www.howluckyuare.com/adopteeticki...

if not purchased, why a price? why a receipt? 🤔

"Right now, there is a huge push toward foster care. From a mental health perspective, some are engaging in a rescuer victim-relationship with their foster or adopted children: 'I will be a rescuer to these victim children, and I'll do God's work and they will be thankful and have few problems.' "

🥚 This is good, a 25-minute discussion about South Korean adoptees and the adoption industry.

If you haven't yet seen Little Bird, its final episode is available through tomorrow, Dec. 21. 📺 I don't think I've ever seen scenes of rituals from an adoptee's original culture and adopted culture before. And the very last scene is 💥. www.pbs.org/video/binesh...
