Who are the best writers/thinkers/creatives on Adoption & Empire. Please tag, RT, shout-out. Compiling a public list. And yes, I’m looking for solid analysis, not bandwagon ‘fetishized terminology’ #adoptees #adoption #transracialadoption #workingclassscholars

Adoptees are often told be grateful. Here’s a new twist. Sunderland says adoptees don’t process gratitude the same way because our brains were rewired at birth when we lost our mothers. The gratitude mantras suggested in mindfulness may not work for us.https://t.co/RX7xjh1YGK

Upon reading ‘a baby with cocoa-­bean eyes’ I knew the author was white. No self determined adoptee of color writes that OR needs a liberation story to be dressed up as fairy tale when we have afrofuturism & speculative fiction etc. #pass #adoptees #adoption #watchwhitenesswork
