Fellow adoptees: Not including feelings, were you surprised to learn you experienced something other adoptees did too?
For me it was that our adoptive families smelled wrong to us. Not unhygienic, just wrong. It was stifling at times. Some nights I couldn't sleep. #AdopteeVoices

Stewardship.
Kinship care.
Community care.
Group parenting.
No one is saying children should stay in abuse.
No one is saying queer people shouldn't be able to play parental roles.

We had a lot of comments on our last post so let’s do a poll! Hopefully the question makes sense! #adopteevoices
As adoptees, do you have people-pleasing habits like an inability to say “no” to situations?
Saying “no” or even “yes” as an adoptee can be hard due to the fear of rejection if we commit to a response, position, or opinion.
Do any other adoptees feel this way?

We mourn the loss of five-year-old Landon Maloberti and other adoptees lost to suicide and murder. We mourn the safety and love they deserved and extend solidarity to adoptees who are surviving abuse.

The adoption journey is lifelong and unfortunately, we as adoptees will never shake ourselves from it. It is the beauty of our unique identity that we much root ourselves in and with which to protect our inner child.

Many adoptees have dissenting opinions on the doll. And some have come to the conclusion that adoptees should not be a commodity and tool used as advertisement for adoptive parents and media.

Some adoptees want to get closer to their origins through their birth culture’s body art and care but APs sometimes discourage this or don’t know how to properly support them in this journey, resulting in cultural erasure and silencing. https://t.co/SamSdKzMJB
