@The_Eli_Bee @vexashun @AJBushue @antiadoption1 @JoeSaysStuff @crpplsrevltn @traceyh415 This is not a conversation. Bye.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@vexashun @The_Eli_Bee @AJBushue @antiadoption1 @JoeSaysStuff @crpplsrevltn @traceyh415 yeah, well that won't work for me. I don't get riled up by idiots, I have no further responses to her, pointless

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@The_Eli_Bee @JoeSaysStuff @AJBushue @crpplsrevltn @traceyh415 Forever lost from their families, don't you mean?

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@traceyh415 That is awful.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@The_Eli_Bee @antiadoption1 @JoeSaysStuff @AJBushue @crpplsrevltn @traceyh415 please become informed before making ridiculous statements in the future.

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer so please tell me, how did they lose their families? some cases please

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer my answer to your question is that there are no true orphans. Children have families already, the best thing is to help them stay together. That's the alternative to adoption, which has terrible consequences for the adoptee.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer This is more likely to be a term applied with adoptions from third world countries, where children are stolen and traded. It also happens in Western countries, in Australia Indigenous children are still being removed from their families. It's disgraceful.

@AndeStanley1 @Hide_N_Seek217 I didn't know that! Thank you. I have had it recommended also, but I've always felt a negativity towards it. Now I know why, I will definitely never watch it.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer All adopted people have parents, they didn't come out of thin air. Many of these biological parents are considered unfit by those with the power to take them away. Many adoptions have been forced. We need to support parents and their children.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer before I can answer you, I need to know what you think an orphan is.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@QueenReba63 @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer Define orphan

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@australian What an absolute a*hole

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@moniqueyelias Ask an adult adoptee or two if DNA is not important.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@NewLifeHomeKE Adoption is about theft and possession. More often than not, the results are devastating. Love is a word that is loaded, it means nothing.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@steepien_ @chill_james_ @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer How condescending of you to say that. You have no idea about my life. In fact, therapy, along with all the research I have undertaken whilst writing my memoir, plus all the connections I have made in the adoptee community, make me an expert on this issue.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@chill_james_ @Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer Living in a home with strangers who think they own you can brutal too. You cleart have no idea, like most people you seem to believe the myth of the 'loving home'.

[Julia Kaylock @JuliaKaylock]

@Heather71486076 @vasilupagus @schallerp65 @SenSchumer adoption is a curse I wouldn't wish on anyone let alone a young baby who has no opportunity to consent. Love is a dangerous defence in thus situation, it usually stands in for something else entirely. It is also used to emotionally blackmail.
