@LisaSReeves I don’t expect to hear from her at all, I know my grandparents will call so I’m looking forward to that at least my birthday has always been a sore spot for me
Are there any other #adoptees out there that clung to other #birthmothers on forums before you found your own? Hoping that she’d want you ask badly to return as they did their children?
You should be grateful to never have to know the pain of #adoptiontrauma to never wonder why she gave you up to never wonder where your #birthfamily is and to never have to experience #secondaryrejection -6
I’m tired of that stupid grateful #adoptee shit are you all #grateful to not be torn away from your #birthfamily because y’all are the ones who should be grateful -5
I get it, hearing an #adoptee ranting about #adoptiontrauma and #grief unpacks the pretty bow that society has packed #adoption in but these are our truths, this is our grief this is our #loss and our stories are #valid
@Ihateadoption What’s baffling is “my oldest won’t brush his teeth” is a normal parenting problem it has nothing to do with him being adopted and they don’t seem to get that
Will knowing that my birthday is the only day she allows herself to grieve make it harder for me to celebrate? Even though my birthday has always been a difficult day for me thinking about her? #adoption
