@jessicasunlee @missmyhappybird @onbeing_adopted It can be difficult to see healing as possible when depending on where we're at, just working to manage is an everyday struggle. #fostercare #adoption it's why we have to set our own milestones towards achieving what we define as small worthwhile victories.

@missmyhappybird @onbeing_adopted Agree that #Depression is different than #sorrow yet both can form a tsunami of grief with conflicting symptoms that sneak up on us when we least expect it when we do expect. Ie anniversaries #fostercare #adoption

@onbeing_adopted @fostercareinnov But on a positive- I think my experience has made me both empathetic and sympathetic to suffering, especially children- and people who go through addiction and mental illness. Its made me very passionate about these issues as well as generational child removals and impact.

I'm planning to write about being #adopted. I want to write to educate people, not just to express myself, but to actually increase understanding about the psychological reality. #adoptee community what is the #1 biggest impact being adopted has had on you?

"#Adoption is different and that's not qualitative. It's fact. As a result of this adoptees have a more complex answer to the question, who am I?" #fostercare https://t.co/HVoqhJdY6B

#Fosterparents and caregivers working with the #childwelfare system are challenged to address every intersectional (-ism) society grapples with addressing. This requires tools and education for creating greatest sense of 'normalcy' of expression for youth in #FosterCare https://t.co/MQ4XZQezoE

Labeling us '#adopted child' when we never asked to be identified as such plays to the largest myth - that adoption is an acceptable method of savior mentality + replaces our original identity if only we are grateful enough https://t.co/Anv4DJVGd4 #FosterCare @HuffPost 3/3

[fostercareinnovation @fostercareinnov]

#SandraBullock furthermore term '#adopted child' is problematic because adoption still takes place in many states in probate court, essentially making those of us who are adopted an exchange of property https://t.co/Anv4DJVGd4 #FosterCare @HuffPost #fostercaremonth 1/3

[fostercareinnovation @fostercareinnov]

Labeling us '#adopted child' publicly plays on saccharine whiteness and states "Look how great of a person I am by taking these unwanted children in." https://t.co/Anv4DJVGd4 #FosterCare @HuffPost #fostercaremonth 2/3
