[Adult Adoptee Movement @AdultAdopteeMov]

Adoptees are often attacked when we criticise adoption as a system or practice. Please stop and think before you pile on SURVIVORS for speaking about their experiences or the conclusions they have some to about the system they were forced into, abuses they suffered or the impact.

[Adoptee Advocate @BrendaBremanis]

I'm so tired of hearing about #Adoption from people who aren't even #Adopted.

You DO NOT speak for us! Move along with your "Kept Privilege". WE are the experts, you have NO voice here. #AdopteeTwitter #AdoptionIsTrauma

So let me get this straight, a mother can’t ever get her child back after she has signed an adoption contract.

An adoptee can’t void their own adoption, or access their OBC, even as an adult.

But the adoptive parents? They can return the child, and even get a refund!

[InterCountry Adoptee Voices (ICAV) @VoicesIcav]

Great research by Rachel Nolan exposing the trafficking via intercountry adoption of Guatemala’s children.
Our courageous VAIA leader, Mariela SR Privé has her story included in this.

@adopteecrossing Same.. Spanish. I really wish I was bilingual. Now, communicating with my unadopted, biological family requires a translator app🙄😒.

The Rise and Fall of International Adoption

Surrogacy advocates be warned: When selling babies becomes an industry, it soon becomes a racket.

"Why are you constantly posting online about your struggles?"

Try going the vast majority of your life, until recently, without really having &/or being able to use your voice.

You'd (probably) be speaking up a lot now, too.

@RudyOwensMemoir Pro Buscara is needed in all disenfranchised countries of origin, for missing and disappeared children, as well as international adoptions. Including the Dominican Republic (my own country of birth) where there are many, many missing still in 2023.

Exclusive: me for @theleaduk on why we adoptees are being failed by the healthcare system. Props to @AdultAdopteeMov, @GrandCamouflage for thoughts, as well as Prof Claire Alexander and @Coram: https://t.co/1eIhXbkPjw

Adoption is the embodiment of all that’s wrong with capitalism and the failure of society to collectively care for its most vulnerable.

[Lina Vanegas (She/her) @LinaLeadsWLove]

Adoption is adult centered and not about a better life. #adopteeTwitter #AdopteeVoices #Naam

[maeve kelly @MaeveKelly11]

Boston Globe literally celebrating the permanent separation of siblings only 2&3 years old. Huge photos of 2 tiny sad children adopted by 2 different white families who are celebrating. I can’t imagine how devastating this must be for the bio family who will see this.
