#adopteetwitter does anyone have any idea how I could contact #NancyVerrier to ask her permission to quote her in my book (from a paper she wrote that is online, not from her books). PM me if so, I'll be v grateful! #adopteevoices #primalwound

There's just a few days to visit Mike, my microbial-painted unicorn in his urban-bucolic setting at Riverside Garden Centre, #Bristol in aid of #Leukaemia Care. There's 60 unicorn beauties to spot painted by artists around the city. riversidegardencentre.com/press/unicornf… #unicornfest

#adopteevoices please tell this writer what is wrong with adoption - he thinks child being bio-related to parent is "largely irrelevant to [child's] well-being" + “there is no difference in the quality of attachment.” wired.com/story/ethics-c…

LDC's own Nicola Streeten & Wallis Eates will be presenting at ComicArtFest Saturday 30/9 at 10:00 LAKE DISTRICT BOAT CLUB

It's "a widely believed myth that adoption magically erases or reverses the trauma ..children have been through and ..continue to experience as they try to make sense of their lives" Adoptees ALSO need help breaking care ceiling theguardian.com/society/2023/s…

Also spotted this beauty of a book by Isla McLeod (also a featured artist-witch in Earth Color) on a shelf at The Hairy Barista in Totnes! @IslaMcLeod #Ritualsforlife The Hairy Barista #witch

Mike my microbial unicorn is on the BBC and ready for a final viewing along with 59 other fabulous beasts painted by local artists! bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

If you’re adopted, this is what you’re up against all the time. The local adoption social worker can’t help me (too complicated, too much work), so she recommended a subject access request: the LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO GIVE UP INFORMATION HELD ON AN INDIVIDUAL. Unless they’re adopted

Thank you, both: River Wolton emma burleigh

"The UK government transformed adoption from a cottage industry to one of mass production". "[M]oney flowed in and babies flowed out". Me, in The Conversation on state centrality to the historic forced adoption of children of unmarried mothers. theconversation.com/scotland-apolo…

She gets it! "Bellevue Sen. Carol Blood launched a filibuster against the bill, saying baby boxes are not safety-inspected, would allow parents to drop off a child without counseling & “could unknowingly provide concealment from crimes such as rape, incest or human trafficking.”
