Just a word of warning. I try to show my gentler side here on Mastodon. But we're heading into #NAAM (officially National Adoption Awareness Month. Unofficially, National Pro-adoption, Anti-Adoptee Month) in November here in the US. As an #Adoptee it's horrific. It's an outright denial of the […]

Changing a child’s identity has lifelong consequences.

We may have needed care or for our mothers to be supported - we did not need to be erased and have our lives permanently altered with no way to undo it. There was no reason to do this to us - just a choice to.
