My recent interview with Shondaland, sharing about the complex emotions related to adoption, as well as my forthcoming book, Adoption Unfiltered. https://t.co/QfFr9ZkidN

[Sara Easterly @saraeasterly]

@NicolePajer Happy to share all the complexities from a perspective several yrs out. Memoir has been called "a difficult story with brute honesty and impressive introspection" (PW). And: "A disarmingly honest memoir" & "Fiercely personal" & "unflinching honesty, authenticity, & vulnerability"

@KilgoreRedfield Thank you so much for reading, my friend. xoxo

[Alice Stephens @AliceKSStephens]

It is so important that #adoptees review books about adoption with harmful messages. Thank you to @saraeasterly for this honest #BookReview of Susie Finkbeiner's novel on transracial adoption, narrated only by white people, leaving the TRA voiceless.

@LinaLeadsWLove They should also be asked if they offer loans to adoptees in need of therapy and other mental health resources.

@KevinBarhydt They're important sources of comfort and play, aren't they?!

4/4 Another #FunFact: At this writing I have five bunnies, three guinea pigs, and a darling dog. All are rescues. All are adorable. #ElevateTheConvo

[Sara Easterly @saraeasterly]

@FauxClaud Absolutely agree with you on that, Claudia.

[Sara Easterly @saraeasterly]

@LightOfDayStory Thank you.

A1.6 “Since it’s quite literally a matter of life or death to keep our adoptive families close, all our attacking energy goes inward. Suicide statistics suddenly make a lot of sense—but that doesn’t mean they’re okay.” https://t.co/rlrDby0oIu #ElevateTheConvo

[Sara Easterly @saraeasterly]

@KevinBarhydt @Twitter Goodnight, Kevin! So nice to be on this panel with you.

[Sara Easterly @saraeasterly]

@thenames_kaelyn @SocialWkrKaty @mcs_counsel To me, in this case adoption positivity comes from nonadopted ppl who don't grasp adoption's complexities, and so dismiss adoptees who share any pain. There's certainly room for you to share happy experiences. I frequently share about BOTH my happy and sad ones. Both matter.
