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:...

I'm an #adoptee & friends and I've created a Discord server for adoptees & biological siblings of adoptees [whether they're in reunion with their adopted siblings or not]. It's an attempt at both having a space for adoptees to chat, but also having a space where biological siblings can learn what adoptee-life has been like while also learning to connect with adoptees in general and hopefully having their own space to chat with fellow bio-sibs. There aren't very many members -- I think less than 10 right now. But we're there.

We are also trying to build up a Signal chat, but that is adoptees only. If you'd like to join either group, feel free to PM me for the link.

We're very no drama. We just want to hang out casually, socially and be able to bring up adoption topics for mutual discussion.

today—TODAY—i learned that a bakery within a short walk from my house was opened a Korean American #adoptee who envisioned it as “a space that prioritizes Asian American and adoptee voices.” and it’s closing! 😢 www.boston.com/food/food-ne...

I was at a gallery displaying student artwork, including some of my 17yo’s, and I complimented one of their classmates on her painting and I said, “by the way I’m *****’s dad.” And she said, “I had a feeling.” my #adoptee heart leapt a mile. I don’t care if she was roasting me.

It is common? One estimate is that in Minnesota alone, over 17,000 people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ negligence. americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...

being a mouthy #adoptee online has taught me—who enjoys every social privilege *other* than being adopted—so much about what it can be like to have one’s ideas and voice co-opted by people who can reap praise for “outspokenness” without facing any real risk of abuse for speaking out.

being an #adoptee who was taken from my birth mother because of a complete lack any of social provision enabling her to keep me, I think of the treatment meted out to her and latter-day birthmothers and try to remind myself that in the fairy tale, Rumpelstiltskin was supposed to be the *villain*.

because i am a librarian and therefore move in rarefied circles of power and privilege, i got a copy of this report. 😎 #adoptee friends (and anyone else who is interested), DM me. I’ll actually look at my DMs for once.
