our culture cannot decide whether we adoptees were relinquished because we were loved by our parents or because we were hated by our parents, so it weaponizes both attitudes against us to silence us as the situation requires. The silencing is the *essential* part. 🥚

I was trying to report abuse by age 7, including to mandated reporters. I went to school with visible handprints on my face.
No one did anything bc "no one who adopted would beat a child"
Adoptees have higher instances of being abused and lower instances of being believed.
I am not an outlier.

A newly introduced Iowa bill requires post-adoption interviews with the adoptive parents and the adopted person, including a "face-to-face interview with the adopted person conducted outside the presence of the parent named in the final adoption decree." 🥚 www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/...

anyone who doubts this has never looked at the comments on any article at all that explores #adoption from anything except adoptive parents’ point of view.
adoptees willing to go on the record about their critiques of the system are absolutely savaged.

every person who is adopted is a person who has undergone and experienced family separation. the fact that Western culture valorizes #adoption as a system for family creation cannot alter this fact, though it does create a taboo against acknowledging it and against hearing dissenting voices.

But to be honest, adoptees don't want to talk about their trauma for everyone to hear anymore. We want to talk about the system that trafficked us.

Variously viewing adoptees as ingrates, blessings, damaged goods, bad seeds, charity cases, divine gifts, and outsiders are all tropes in dehumanizing narratives that enable the denial of our basic civil rights (birth certificates) and the fact of our permanent involuntary separation from family.

I'm going to reblog this one a lot intermittently because I'm seeing so many Chinese and Korean adoptees scrambling to get their docs and it also helps me feel less, well, helpless in the scheme of things.
I did go through the N-565 process, but given everything idk if it will be the same.

If you're an international adoptee get your documents in order!
The most important thing to understand is we are NOT issued birth certificates. We are issued CERTIFICATE OF CITIZENSHIP.
If you need a replacement use the N-565 form. It is a $500+ fee to do so.

Recently I was approached by an adoptee, someone who has gone through the adoption system, and they asked me to stop using “adopt” or “adoptable” because it has left a good amount of adoptees feeling uncomfortable.

We watch in horror as children are literally being kidnapped off the streets to a fate yet unknown. I guarantee you that many of these children will end up in the adoption system.
Adoptees know this, because that is how we ended up in it. By state sanctioned family separation.

People like to shit on Worf for his "bad parenting" specifically- but note how the show treats the plot- he has no idea how to raise a Klingon, and ends up sending Alexander to who? His adoptive parents. That's generational trauma, and it happens to adoptees and their biological children irl.
