Adoptees 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

Telling an adoptee to be grateful is abuse - dismissing trauma is abuse.

Someone who babysat for an adopted child now thinks they are the expert on adoption and leaving their opinion on adoptee posts. Everyone thinks they are the experts on adoption - they are not. Listen to adoptees.

Adopters continually prove through their own words why they should not be caring for a child.
