@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialIf you’re living in fear of upsetting someone because you want the bare minimum basics of knowing your identity and family - that’s abuse, not love.
@astepoffstage.bsky.socialThis process was very fast, but in so many ways, it was right on time! 🔗 ⬇️ below ⬇️

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialNormalize not having to qualify your adoption trauma with 'I love my adopted parents.'

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialToo many adoptees grew up being pitied - not loved.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialIt’s very telling how quickly adoption supporters go from “she loved you so much she gave you away to have a better life” but when the adoptee shows interest in finding her “She gave you away. She didn’t want you. She abandoned you.” #adopteevoices
@astepoffstage.bsky.socialI don't mean to start a war about it, but I can sometimes find it frustrating to connect with other adoptees among the 🐶 📷
It would be nice to have some differentiators for the two groups. Perhaps pet people feel the same way? 🤷♀️ #sorrynotsorry #Adoption #AdopteeVoices #AdopteeRightsAreHumanRights
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialIt’s cruel to do this to anyone let alone millions of adoptees and even more cruel to then call this unnecessary trauma ‘beautiful’.

@astepoffstage.bsky.social@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialThe adopters and adoption supporters that make such vile comments on adoptee’s post prove the type of people many children are placed with and why adoption does not mean a child will go to a loving home.

@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialAdoptees don’t stay little forever. We grow up into strong adults that return to dismantle the system that harmed us and expected us to be grateful. #adopteevoices #listentoadoptees
@astepoffstage.bsky.social
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialNo one has to be grateful for being ‘given life’ - no one.
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialThe people mad at adoptees for not being grateful prove how much abuse there is in adoption.

@astepoffstage.bsky.social@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialMany people are pro-birth and pro-adoption, but they are not pro-child.
#childwelfare #adoptionistrauma #adopteevoices
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialSomeone saying they were desperate to have a child should be a massive red flag.
#adopteevoices
@defendsurvivors.bsky.socialTelling an adoptee to be grateful is abuse - dismissing trauma is abuse.
