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

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

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

Many people are pro-birth and pro-adoption, but they are not pro-child.

Lying to someone is not love.
Concealing a person’s identity is abuse.

A parenting “expert” made a post saying adopted children are likely to lie and steal. Ironic, right? Since so many adoptees are the ones who were stolen and lied to — not the other way around.

When I look at pictures of my family now it’s just a searing pain that they were always out there and now I’m 60 and lost a lifetime with them. How could people hide them from me. How can people do this to adoptees. It’s so cruel and never needed to care for a child. #adoptionistrauma

Adoption is the trauma we don’t even acknowledge. If you’re an adoptee you are a survivor of trauma. Adoption is the separation of a child from their family and that is trauma.

Adoption is said to give children a loving family but for many of us it took us from a loving family. Many of us end up with the only family we have being the family we create. #adoptionistrauma #adoption #adopteevoices

‘Why didn’t you tell me?’: the Australian push to have all adopted people told their full history and identity
Some people can get all the way through adulthood without knowing they are adopted. Should the government tell them?

Paul Sunderland on CPTSD in adoptees and codependency.
“ Codependency is like setting yourself on fire to keep the other person warm”.
I can so relate to this with regard to the caring role that I have undertaken for my biological mother.

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.
