Have you ever had one of those days when you know you can fully justify your existence in every sphere of your life and you realize that no one who demanded that justification is worthy of it?
@ddgulledge When you realize you are perfect, you will no longer feel a need to justify your existence to anyone. 😉

@stevendbrewer Hold that thought for a while. We're about to begin National Adoption Awareness Month here in the US. To the extent that there is any attention given to it in the press and any awareness of it by the general public, it portrays adoption as so obviously good that there's no reason to ever question that assumption. I'll be sharing quite a bit here that challenges that societal narrative. I'm not a lone dissenting voice either. The entire structure of adoption makes it incredibly difficult for many adoptees, perhaps even the majority of adoptees, to have a grounded confidence in our own worth.

@ddgulledge A colleague of mine was fond of saying that there are two kinds of people: those who know they are perfect and those who have yet to realize it.
