@rosekc28 Sending love. 💓

Curious to know how many other adoptees have or have had disordered eating or eating disorders? What's your relationship with food now? #adopteetwitter

@neithskye I find this very hard to believe. I feel like it's a way to prove she's the "best" mother... that even her adoptive child "forgets" that she didn't birth them becausethey are so alike.

Otherwise there's got to be another reason, like fawning.

@DecolonizingThe @_FineHamAbounds Sorry, I don't understand... I'm not marginalising others?

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

So I've stepped out of my comfort zone and publicly posted (on my biz socials) that I am an adopted person. The world hasn't collapsed, and I feel better for acknowledging publicly (even if in a tiny way) something that affects me everyday. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices

@AlexSarv @IBJIYONGI @LL_cool_josh @EmilyMNeal1 @errorcoramnobis As a queer person myself, I agree it has nothing to do with who is doing the adopting. Adoption is the problem. It's putting the needs of a couple before the basic human rights of an infant who can't speak for themselves until they grow up to be us! Why not foster instead?

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@_FineHamAbounds Thank you! 💓 It was extremely scary putting out in the public not only my adoption but also include ADHD, addiction, and disordered eating (I was never formally diagnosed with an eating disorder - although I should've been. Being "myself" here has definitely helped.

@emersoninaglass I'm sorry God only picks the ones who love and worship them.

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

Feel like God talk is a form of gaslighting. Bcousin is praising God for his hand in her daughter getting accepted to do a PHD.
NO!!! SHE did the work to get this far in her academic career & YOUR influence gave her the confidence and determination to follow her f#ing dreams!!!

@rocketgirl2370 Thank you. 💓 Feel like I've been leading a double life! It truly does feel like coming out of the closet all over again.

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@msusiecu1 @bizwhizyay Amazing. 💓

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@themouthyoufeed @kidcancermom Yep, absolutely liberating and terrifying!

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@_FineHamAbounds No worries, I'm shifting careers from chef to Certified Health Coach and in my announcement post of completing my certification I included a paragraph about me and who I want to support.

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@themouthyoufeed Thank you. 💓

@llmunro Thanks Lisa! It's funny how we try to minimize things we do (well at least I do), but yes, it is actually. 💝

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@saturdayobrien Thanks Saturday! 💝

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

@PulverSanjay Thanks so much Sanjay! Hope you're well. Miss you. 💓

[Angel Joy 🏳️‍🌈 @AngelJoyLester]

Yup.

@lizzieharvie Thanks Liz. 💝

@twoshitmums I pretend I don't have contact and that I don't care which is sad. Otherwise, my AM gets very judgemental and upset. I just can't be bothered with that behavior so I try to avoid talking about anyone from my biological family even though I think about them everyday.
