Wild how some adopters choose adoption but won’t show up for the kids they took in. Feels more like it was about their own needs than actually supporting a child. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Kat’s episode is out now! @kadasaurus.bsky.social Listen here: pod.link/1651229727 #adopteesky

Adoption is often treated as a means to an end, with adopters frequently continuing to try having biological children because we were never what they truly wanted. Episode drops on Friday with @kadasaurus.bsky.social #adopteesky

upEND’s Program Director Josie Pickens writes for @newsoneofficial.bsky.social: Malcolm X’s early life—shaped by racist terrorism and family separation—planted the seeds of his radicalism. He saw through the lie of state benevolence. newsone.com/6165220/malc...

Adoption is built on secrecy, deception, and cruel lies. This episode with @kadasaurus.bsky.social comes out on Friday! #adopteesky

Attending the Black Mother’s March for the first time was powerful. As someone who lost both parents, especially my mom, it meant everything to be in community fighting the system that tried to break us. I’ll keep showing up. Black families deserve to stay together. #adopteesky

Yes 🫶🏾 Still taking in this whole weekend for the Black Mother’s March. I hope to see more adopted folks there next year!

It was a happy Mother’s Day because I wasn’t alone, I got to honor my mom and I was around people who understand the violence of the family policing system. 🩵

We don't owe gratitude for being adopted! Check out my new episode with Aretha today! pod.link/1651229727 #adopteesky

I feel like I was put here to tell stories and I also see it as an act of resistance. 🩵 #adopteesky

We have to continue to resist the empire! #adopteesky

We're talking about mutual aid next week on the show! #adopteesky

Welcome J Way (@itsjway.bsky.social) to the team! 🥹 She's also a survivor of the family policing system, which makes this even more special. #adopteesky

Black mothers have always been on the frontlines—fighting for their children and for our survival. On May 11, they’re taking that fight to D.C. for the Black Mothers March on the White House. A movement for justice. For wholeness. For abolition.

Alex’s episode is out today. This moment really resonated with me. 🩵

Alex started the Adoptee Film Fest because she felt like it was something she really needed herself and the impact it’s had on the broader adoptee community can’t even be fully comprehended.

This week’s episode is with the Founder of The Adoptee Film Fest, Alexandra!

It's simple really; either you're for it or against the family policing system!

An update for this weeks episode! 🩵

Community is important 🩵

My episode with Tam & Tracey Robertson comes out on Friday! They are healers in residence with Movement for Family Power (@movfamilypower.bsky.social).

Family policing is the modern-day auction block. “When I think about history repeating itself, I think about the erasure of our history, not being able to trace your roots back or find your family.” - Zaira Campos, @adopteecrossing.bsky.social Missed the event? Watch the recording: bit.ly/BHM-MFP

You may notice something different about the show today, and that is that there are now ads in the show thanks to a partnership with @audacyinc.bsky.social. Really grateful for what’s to come.
