Adoption is spiritual violence.

It strips us of our connection to our ancestors. It takes us from our cultures & the spiritual or religious practices within our families.

Spiritual violence.

[Severed Origins @SeveredOrigins]

Calling adoption a “chosen family” is actually incredibly malicious because you’re building it with people who had no choice. It’s really a “captive family”

[Rebekah #CitizenshipForAdoptees Henson @bekhenson]

Here’s something I really need people to hear and understand:

ADOPTED PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY. (🧵)

[EndFamilyPolicing @PolicingFamily]

“Very common for adopted people to be told how lucky they are to have been saved from their own flesh and blood families. Often we are told how awful they are by people who don't even really know them.” Truth About Adoption

[Lina Vanegas (She/her) @LinaLeadsWLove]

Many people who espouse to care about social Justice, human rights, anti-racism & anti-oppressive work don’t hold those same values when it comes to adoption. They feel it’s their human right to adopt at the cost of violating a child’s human rights.#adopteevoices #adopteetwitter

@barbara_sumner That my abuse went unreported because she was a nice white lady who “opened her home” to a “needy” black child…

[Adoption Phoenix 🔥 @adoptee1970]

@muir2021 Right?

[Severed Origins @SeveredOrigins]

I deserve to know who my ancestors are.

Everyone deserves to know who their ancestors are.

@lialove94 @adopteecrossing @DorothyERoberts Rabbit Proof Fence is one of my favorite movies!!

I was placed into kinship legal guardianship as a child. I was entitled to my cps records, birth certificate ect, I kept my birthname. My youngest brother was adopted. They sealed his records and he lost his birthname, identity, biological ties his entire existence.

[Ungrateful Chicanx Adoptee @Domestic_Supply]

Transracial adoption is predatory and a form of white violence.

[Ungrateful Chicanx Adoptee @Domestic_Supply]

There is no such thing as the “child welfare system.” Call it what it is - the “family policing system.”

[Adoption Phoenix 🔥 @adoptee1970]

@lialove94 Yay!!

[Adoption Phoenix 🔥 @adoptee1970]

@adopteecrossing @amyritterrbusch An amazing interview!

[Ungrateful Chicanx Adoptee @Domestic_Supply]

Why should adoptees have to be legally estranged from our families to be adopted?

This is forced family separation.

[Adoption Phoenix 🔥 @adoptee1970]

@adopteecrossing 1. You are NOT the same as them.
2. Your blackness is beautiful.

[Severed Origins @SeveredOrigins]

People who adopted 30, 40, 50 years ago can say “we didn’t know better” and while it doesn’t alter the effects, it can be accepted. People adopting today will try to say “we didn’t know better” in 20, 30, 40 years and we’ll have a digital footprint of them telling adoptees off

[Ungrateful Chicanx Adoptee @Domestic_Supply]

A birth certificate is not a documentation of ownership. It is a record of birth.

So why does my “record of live birth” include a couple who was 3000 miles away during my delivery?

Why do they have the right to do that?

[Ungrateful Chicanx Adoptee @Domestic_Supply]

I should have the right to annul my adoption.
