Being adopted is exhausting 💯% of the time.

@ottoman42 I’m in the process of it right now! I already feel like my professional name is somebody else when I read it.

The audacity of an app asking me to weigh myself the day after Thanksgiving.

My antidepressants seem to be “working” in that my heart rate is way lower than it used to be at rest. Yikes.

@OrphanTanuki @SnavelyBrent Thanks!

My dog is sick, can’t get to the vet until Monday. It’s not an emergency but it’s clear she’s unwell. Poor old gal.

@ruemcclammyhand Yay whereabouts

My birth mother hasn’t responded to my email for clarification on my birth father’s surname. Staring at my inbox is paralyzing. #adopteevoices

@DJ_Adoptee 🙏🏽

Filled out the paper work to change my name. Just have to wait until Monday to go file it at the courthouse. #adopteevoices

@RenaeHsNo Thank you so much!

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@Primal_Wound That’s one I haven’t considered! Thanks!

Can anyone make out the letters here? #adopteevoices #adoptee

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@Primal_Wound Thanks! I wish I had a bigger sample of the writing to compare it to!

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@ruemcclammyhand well, I emailed to ask my b mom for the spelling. Who knows if she will actually tell me! Fingers crossed.

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@ruemcclammyhand The latter doesnt really fit. Maybe ANQINA but that’s not a typical name.

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@ruemcclammyhand I’ve struggled with it being A N C U N A or A N Q U I N A?

[🤚🏽 @nothnxtbh]

@Primal_Wound Thank you! Now I’m getting cold feet. I believe I’d typically have my mother’s maiden name and my father’s surname but I can’t make the spelling.

@OrphanTanuki It won’t feel real until I get called at the doctor’s office, or something small like that. Maybe seen it on my credit card.
