@LaureenWriter One of my favorite books about #Adoption written by an #adoptee with an amazing story and talent for storytelling

@ThatLda I know how you feel. I was thrilled the first time I saw photos of my biological maternal grandfather. #adoptees #LateDiscoveryAdoptee

@RudyOwensMemoir Good for you, Rudy! What are you planning to do?

Since NY ended #adoption secrecy, 1,000s of #adoptees have requested their birth certificates. Adoptees, what does it mean to you to have your original BC? Please post comment on my blog: https://t.co/4y1MeycNha

#Adoption With the passage of an adoptee rights bill, NY #adoptees are demanding their original birth certificates. Would love to hear from adoptees on what it means to have the original birth certificate. Please comment on the blog: https://t.co/4y1MeycNha

@ThatLda Ugh! What an inappropriate thing to say. She sounds useless.

[Lynne Miller @lynnemiller]

@RudyOwensMemoir @HealthNYGov That is a wonderful, welcoming sign!

#Adoptees, in case you missed it, adopted adults from New York, (finally) will be able to request their original birth certificates under a new law that takes effect Jan. 15, 2020: https://t.co/AP0RsuhvSw #Adoption

@LaureenWriter Laureen, it's a great read!

@RebeccaJHawkes Unfortunately, there are a lot of insensitive people who feel comfortable saying obnoxious things on social media. Take good care of yourself.

When you're #adopted, digging up medical history can be a project. As an #adoptee from the closed records era, I'm working to learn more about medical conditions & diseases in my bio family: https://t.co/sAvXODm8iD #Adoptees

@corsent I see a strong resemblance.

[Lynne Miller @lynnemiller]

Growing up in the dark about my adoption, I've worked to learn about my origins including my bio family's medical history. If you're adopted & interested in medical history, post a comment at the end of my blog https://t.co/sAvXODm8iD #Adoption #Adoptees

[Lynne Miller @lynnemiller]

@penniemoney It must be a relief and somewhat comforting.

[Lynne Miller @lynnemiller]

The culture of secrecy in adoption makes it difficult for adoptees to know their family medical history. I'm digging up death certificates for grandparents and other members of my bio family. What about you? Feel free to leave a comment on my blog: https://t.co/sAvXODm8iD

@llmunro You made good use of the odds and ends in your fridge!
