I don’t think I ever talked about it here but my book is about finding my bio family but more importantly, deconstructing narratives that were pushed on me as an adoptee.

virtually *all* depictions of adoption in mainstream popular culture are given from the point of view of adopters, cater to adopters, flatter adopters, vindicate adopters. These depictions do not complement #adopteevoices, they erase them.
because #adoption follows me literally whenever I go, I was at a party yesterday and ended up talking about it with people I had just met (not entirely my fault!) and heard one of them say that some recent magazine pieces about adoption made them understand that no one ever listens to adoptees.

I woke up this morning and I’m still adopted.

Never get tired of repeating this: You cannot be an intersectional feminist and anti-racist and also support the adoption and surrogacy industries. #adoption #adoptee #adopteevoices 🥚

“My adoptive family knew my mother's name and my father's name my whole life. She did not have anonymity. She did not have confidentiality. The only person her identity was kept from was me.”

Adoptees should have the right to decided if they want to remain adopted or annul their adoption when they are adults!

My first-ever published poem was also the most emotionally vulnerable writing I've ever put onto a page. Thank you Blue Earth Review for selecting "post- and pre-" as the 2024 Minnesota BIPOC Emerging Writer Award runner-up in poetry! #adopteevoices

The thing that makes secondary rejection after 20 years of reunion hurt the most is that I’m still invested in the idea that we can be family again. 🥚 #AdopteeVoices #AdopteeRightsAreHumanRights

The best thing about National Adoption Awareness Month is that some agencies run sales.
But sure, keep saying that adoption isn’t “buying babies”
