@natalieinbloomx So adorable 🥰

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

Something I like is finding photos of me as a baby or child and seeing how adorable I was. No ego! Just that it’s healing to see ourselves so cute and give ourselves some inner mummy love. Wanna join me? Post your cute pic in this thread. #adoptee #adopteevoices

@CatTheresaUK @lizzieharvie I'm so sorry about your Dads and understand the need to not be so in touch with the adoptee side of life. Be kind to yourself, this stuff is hard.

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

@CatTheresaUK @lizzieharvie Yes of course. Not sure how you'd do that, I can send you the original video if that helps.

I recorded @NicolaSturgeon's Scottish Government apology for the injustice of forced adoption. Here it is: https://t.co/mdZ1WYQdc7

@nicsadventure @BBCNews If you are a woman who had her baby forcibly removed. Or a child of one of these women. This is NOT virtue signalling. Hearing an apology means the world and is of great signficance.

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

@anonpryme @BBCNews This apology is for the hundreds of thousands of women and their children who this happened to and are still impacted by it in their lives today. Even though it happened decades ago.

[BBC News (UK) @BBCNews]

@ScottishAAM thinking of you all today. We will be glued to the screen. Wish we could have been there with you #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices https://t.co/55SeGS0E9t

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

This consultation closes today. We can consult on access to counselling and therapy. #adopteetwitter

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

Who has consulted on the proposed Ofsted regulation changes so adult persons who were adopted can actually find a therapist to help them? I opened up the page link today. It's a bigee. https://t.co/YODI9hSXKJ

[Michele Merritt, Ph.D. @Skyphly]

#adoptees I’m looking for your ‘favorite’ examples of being gaslit, dismissed, unheard etc. Been asked to provide more concrete evidence of epistemic injustice adoptees face when attempting to speak on the systemic issues of the adoption industry.

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

@Skyphly Said in reply to my feelings around not belonging when they have no knowledge or experience of being adopted, being raised in a mixed race family, losing your genetic/ethnic/cultural heritage, disenfranchised grief, identity confusion, no genetic mirroring. And so on.

[Rachel Young @onbeing_adopted]

@Skyphly "You might be offended by what I'm about to say but. This happens in biological families too..." and "it's not just in adopted families, in my family I..." and variations of this, said by persons (friends mostly) with no personal experience whatsoever of adoption, from any angle.

Attention UK Government - a date for your diary - "the First Minister is expected to update Parliament on Wednesday 22nd March".....
