oh I’m on a blocklist? that’s fine. I’m an #adoptee. The government put me on a blocklist
I’m hoping Kathryn finds a good landing place! More than once, during the #adoptee meetup I attended this past weekend, I cited THE CHILD CATCHERS, her pathbreaking book on the Christian adoption crusade. We need Kathryn Joyce to keep digging into things!

“The wrinkled pages of the Bible crackled as Mom leafed back to the beginning of Matthew. I had always felt I was conceived from the powers of the universe. Maybe I was chosen to fulfill a divine mission.”

Sandra is the second #adoptee I’ve seen in the past two minutes posting about access to our birth records as an out-of-body experience. I agree. Holding my OBC was the most deeply transformative moment of my life, even deeper than becoming a parent (which started me on the path to it).

i get really emotional these days both because my children are reaching these moments in their lives and also because i, an #adoptee not raised by my parents, get to be involved in raising my own children. it’s all a bit much to take in.

as an #adoptee i am as opposed to forcing people into parenthood as i am to forcing people out of parenthood. Both are central to the fascist Right’s program of white supremacist, patriarchal family engineering.

The way it works is: if I add your account to the feed, then any of your posts containing hashtags like #adoption #adoptee #adopteesky #adopteevoices or the 🥚 symbol will go into the feed. Otherwise they won’t. Lmk if you’d like to be added!
hey #adoptee friends who followed me on here after I gave my Facebook/Instagram farewell! There’s a feed for folks to post about adoption. Let me know if you’d like to be added! bsky.app/profile/did:...
