I fell pregnant at 15 by a man who was 13 years older then me.

No one questioned who he was nor his age.

I was looked down on as a young mum and not provided with important information regarding my pregnancy/labour.

No one cared that I had been groomed because #IWasBlamed

NYC Administration for Children’s Services issued guidelines recognizing potential for permanent psychological harm if children are unable to see their parents/siblings, esp. during a crisis, & call for continued in-person visits in lower risk cases, based on public health info.

[Zoongizi Ode - Strong Heart @ZoongiziOde]

We're proposing the creation of a safe space for families to visit. We have spoken to a north end community space about this possibility!

We would maintain the space and take responsibility for ensuring it’s sanitized & physical distancing is followed. https://t.co/0eDKSbsnqY

[How To Be Adopted @howtobeadopted]

Support for birth families is shockingly bad and, as I’ve said before, we should be ashamed as a country of how we look after them both pre & post losing their children.

Adoptive parents please step up and advocate for birth parents, your children are paying close attention.

[Zoongizi Ode - Strong Heart @ZoongiziOde]

We are in conversation with folks from @IPAN2019 to connect our parent advocacy work to our relatives internationally! More details coming soon!

@weirhopper Imagine an equivalent FAMILY SUPPORT FUND (FSF), a world where birth families can also access therapeutic support services...

@theverbsblog Talk to @TheOpenNest who host the garden

[IPAN @IPAN2019]

The “Forget Me Not Garden” will be the first permanent garden in England dedicated to parents and wider family members affected by adoption. It is a place to remember children lost to adoption https://t.co/q5ydMSpCZx

[BEAM @ipswich_beam]

Such a wonderful idea. BEAM has a tree in our local park dedicated to our children. The mums all raised the money for it. It is such a beautiful tribute to their children. No one plants a tree without hope. #forcedadoption #amumslove #neverforgotten
