Adoptees are a marginalized community. When we speak of our pain, when we SCREAM for help, you pat us on the head and coo “aw, but you’re adopted! Ur ok😘” Birth to death, you silence us, you disenfranchise our grief, you tell us how to feel. STOP. #listentoadoptees #adoption

Dear not adopted people: Your opinion on adoption is irrelevant. We don't care what you "favor." We don't care what "reform" you think is necessary. We don't care if you know adopted people & therefore think you get a vote-you don't. Listen to Adoptees. Be quiet and listen.

Honoring Thaddeus on the anniversary of his death by sharing his truth. Being disabled, taken from India his homeland, and growing up in an abusive home is so much for one person to bear. RIP Thaddeus #SuicidePreventionMonth

For the love of all things rational, can we please STOP conflating adoption with 'loving homes.' This whitewashing erases the complexities, pain, & loss. It also ignores those abused & trivialises #adoptee experiences. Stop this harmful rhetoric. #adoptionistrauma

Dear adoption agency execs, admins, marketers, lawyers, fundraisers, all: please find another way to make a living. Find a job that doesn’t implicate the ethical issues that you surely see by now. It must be exhausting to have to keep telling yourself that you’re the good guy.

There are several important mainstream news stories right now about intercountry #adoption, particularly about Korea and China. I can’t discuss it with anyone who isn’t adopted, because there is such a gulf between their sympathies and concerns and my own. +

#JoeBenincasa #AndrewBenincasa #AvaBenincasa #MarybethDoctor #SamDoctor #EntertainmentCommunityFund #ActorsFund #ActorsEquity #BCEFA #TomViola ; these people are corrupt and they abuse children through the legal system.

The adoption industry absolutely says that adoption guarantees a loving family. It’s part of their coercion tactics. It’s all to keep up their profits. #adopteetwitter

Lifetime Adoption is an outfit of predators who capitalize on the destruction of families so they can sell them to ‘better’ people. #adoptee #adoption #adoptionistrauma

"But adoption isn't buying a baby!!!!"

“If you are poor, working class, in need of support, services, housing, or have been in care, it can be used as proof that you are not fit to be a parent. They had all the power" theguardian.com/society/2021/j…

WTH! An #Adoptee was murdered by her adopter in 1989, and this article published by a the Holland Sentinel chooses to give voice to the man who killed the young woman. This the horrific case of Aundria Bowman. This monster dismembered her murdered body. hollandsentinel.com/story/news/cri…

"If the goal of adopting my children was to build a family, then I need to take a hard look at the families I dismantled to build my own."

The troubling truth is that at least 4.9 million people are jailed each year – and more than a quarter of them are jailed multiple times. Does the system really expect us to believe that it is “reforming” people?

FOSTER CARE IS NOT AN ADOPTION AGENCY. ITS UNETHICAL TO TRY ON CHILDREN LIKE SHOES.

There are approx. 650,000 people in jail on any given day. Most of them have the right to vote – but, unsurprisingly, the carceral system does not make it easy for them: prisonpolicy.org/reports/jail_v…

Yes, more #Adoption corruption revealed. This time in #Switzerland. “Our investigation has identified legal violations. We came across 48 adoptions in the two cantons where the legally required waiver from the biological parents was not available." swissinfo.ch/eng/life-aging…
