When talking about adoption we need to be talking about adoption as an ACE, complex, lifelong and intergenerational trauma. Adoption is also a risk factor for suicide, addiction, incarceration, mental health issues etc #AdopteeTwitter #Adopteevoices #SuicidePrevention

When infant is born a "birth" certificate should be issued. If child is subsequently adopted an "adoption" certificate should be issued. The 2 documents should remain together. None of that information should be a secret from the adoptee. Bare minimum rules for #BabyScoop2

Before he died my adad returned to England to visit the city of his birth. This was seen as a normal, understandable thing to do. He was not "betraying" Canada. Me: "I want to see where I was born." Society: "OMG, WTF, you're betraying your adoptive parents, you ungrateful POS."

I love country music. But I HATE when country music stars glorify violence and right wing asshattery.

A friend posted, „nobody loves you like the grandma on your moms side”. My bio didn’t want to meet me cause I should’ve gone away and stayed there. adoptive one I thought loved me but I think back on how she guilted me so much and wonder #adopteetwitter

#MaternalSeparationTrauma is serious, lifelong trauma and should not be taken lightly.

And the most important overlooked fact: separation of mother and child at birth causes lifelong damage to both. Adoptive parents don't understand this.



Saw this today written in a stall at a rest stop in BFE Nebraska. Speaks to my adoptee self #adopteevoices

Spent the morning at Mount Rushmore. Reclaiming what’s mine. Raised far away from the land I should be acquainted with so a selfie with Kansas but also one with West Virginia which is where I should be familiar with. #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices

Having breakfast before we hit the road for the rest of our anniversary trip. This place features man in trump hat, people praying over their breakfast, and year round offering of pumpkin spice French toast. Can’t get out of here quick enough.


In my life of 53 years I have only ever “gotten” 3 pieces of art. This is one of them and it tears at my adoptee soul. #adopteetwitter

On this day in 1944, George Stinney, at 14 years, became the youngest person executed in the US in the 20th century. He was so small they had to stack books on the electric chair. Due to no evidence, his conviction was posthumously vacated 70years after his execution! A THREAD

Please take a look at the people not yet apprehended for their parts in the insurrection. They all need to be held accountable


I very much wish this was my experience. It’s not. With either “mother” #adopteevoices #adopteetwitter
