In my adoption file, it’s clear my first mom & family were shown what *other families* had to offer me. But no one approached them in a spirit of respect & encouragement. No one highlighted their strengths or what *they* could offer me. #adoption #ethics #socialwork

I know Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸’s comment about “fake parents” wasn’t about adoptees. However, her comment undermines an adopted person’s right to self-determine their own kinship. I hope media outlets will amplify adoptee voices in response #abortion #adoption #fakeparents #adoptiveparents

There’s nothing like getting an email from Aetna about how they prioritize my mental health as a subscriber… when they take 6 months to pay me for my labor as a therapist. Parity optics won’t pay my mortgage, hun. #insurance #MentalHealthAwarenessDay #therapy

Adoption isn’t just a chapter—it’s an ongoing experience that shapes who we are. Adoptees often feel pressure to conform, but we have the right to define ourselves on our terms. 💙⁣ Your experience is valid, and it’s yours to write. 📝 #AdopteeHealing #AdoptionIsLifelong
