No one knows what an #adoptee may feel as a child and when older. Maybe it felt less like #findingmeafamily and more like losing one at that time. The title is a v strong statement on how their experiences should be understood
So glad that in untangling my past I only had to critically evaluate my memories, other people's memories, life story book, random comments, photo fragments, redacted files, randomly surviving full files, letters, my diaries, FC diaries-and not also a TV show! #findingmeafamily
It's hard enough as it is to make sense of the multiple narratives that exist when you're adopted from care without also having to untangle a yarn weaved about your life by a TV show #findingmeafamily#adoption#adoptee#lifestory#notentertainment
@onbeing_adopted That's a brilliant idea! Unfortunately I'm not near Surrey (was once upon a time) otherwise would be there but hope u get a nice gathering!
@therealpwishes @AngelaMBarra @HuffPostBlog @AdopteeReality That comment is just plain weird! Why on earth would #adoptees look any different than non-adoptees...?!
