There are two ways to help a pregnant mother in a crisis to care for her child.
1. Step into her life and help her and the child.
2. Blackmail her that you’ll help her child if you can own the child and make it yours.

I'm really struggling with complicated, disenfranchised grief. Trying to feel my feelings while it's like I contain a toxic hurricane of rage, sorrow, anger, hurt, loss, love, hate and things I don't even know how to name. #Adoption #Grief #adoptionIsTrauma #unresolvedTrauma #LossOfBirthparents

Buying a child does not make them your child. Thinking that ownership is the way to parenthood is beyond pathological and disgusting. #adoptionistrauma #suicideprevention #msw #livedexperience #boughtandsold

I saw #Wicked this weekend with my son & one of my daughters. Right after the “take it away!” scene when Elphaba is born & immediately taken away, my son turned & whispered: “I’m really sorry, Mom, I didn’t know about this part” & my daughter squeezed my hand. They get it. Wow. #adoptionistrauma 🥚

Why are suicide rates so high for adoptees? Because our pain is not just ignored - it’s called ‘beautiful’.

Adoption is completely changing someone’s life. No one has the right to do that. A child needing care when they are born or their family needing support does not mean the child’s entire life should be changed. #adoptionistrauma #humanrights

On infant adoption:
"Because they have never formed attachments to birth parents, these children seldom experience their loss as traumatic, nor do they fell a painful loss of biological siblings, grandparents, uncles, aunts, or cousins."
Uh-huh.

Just got blocked for saying adoption is human trafficking. Troubling when the oppressed wish to emulate their oppressors in the exploitation of infants and children instead of standing up for human rights. 🥚

Overall I think Pete seems like a great guy with sound politics, but this ain’t it. ‘Building a family’ with other people’s children, aka #adoption, is not *family values*. No one is owed a child. #adoptionistrauma

Adoptees are trauma survivors. Many are abuse survivors also. Whether the outcome was a good experience or not - adoption is trauma.

Got confirmation of my biological mother being who I thought she was. I'm struggling with the information. It's kind of a lot of extreme dysfunction and finding it out post-mortem means I'll never really get closure. #AdoptionIsTrauma #AdultAdoptee
