these family tree exercises force #adopted kids into reinforcing the myth of adoption as rewriting genealogical reality.

i speak, as always, for precisely one #adopted person when i say that i cannot muster a feeling of gratitude for having been the product of a system so corrupt and so unjust that i believe it should not exist.

children constitute a crucially important test case for the thesis that powerless people have rights too, and liberals’ track record is far from perfect. it’s not lost on #adopted people that the ACLU is deliberately silent on whether we have a right to know our own identities.

seriously, though. #adopted people use the phrase “out of the fog” to refer to an experience that we could also describe as an awakening to the truth.

Juniper celebrated her birthday yesterday with her family - thanks so much to them for sharing some of the birthday bunny's pics! #Adopted #Celebrate #HouseRabbit #BirthdayBunny #TriangleRabbits

Happy adoption news to share! Trixie has a new home! She's settling in with her new family and enjoying her hay buffet. #Adopted #Celebrate #HouseRabbit #Congrats #AdoptDontShop #NewHome #TriangleRabbits

this statement in M Gessen’s excellent piece on gender markers in passports speaks to something many #adopted people like myself experience with our “amended” birth certificates, which absurdly identify as our natal parents people who had no involvement in our births. +

More happy news to share - Buxton is getting adopted this week! He will have his own castle in his new home - what more could a bunny need? #Adopted #Celebrate #HouseRabbit #Congrats #AdoptDontShop #NewHome

when #adopted people gather to discuss their struggles with searching, with reunion, with rejection, with legally enforced secrecy, with all of it, they achieve a collective understanding that if there is to be any space where they are allowed to be whole beings, they must create it. +

Enough! It's time for a #TimelineCleanse! Legally #adopted son experiences his FIRST birthday celebration with his new family. As a fellow adoptee? I cannot tell you enough how grateful I am for the life I have, compared to the one I might have had. And a special thank you adoptive parents! ❤️ ❤️

Happy adoption news to share! Carlos is a happy loaf in his new home. He loves his new mom and her boyfriend and gets to free roam in her room most of the time. Napping under the bed is his favorite way to take a break from exploring. #Adopted #Celebrate #HouseRabbit #Congrats #NewHome

as an #adopted person who was taught to reapply all kinship terms in ways that suited my purchasers, i find the ny post’s pretend pearl-clutching over the word “aunt” kind of amusing

Russia’s children’s commissioner shamelessly describes #kidnapping Ukrainian child

Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for #abduction of #UkrainianChildren — revealed new details about kidnapping a boy from #Mariupol whom she later #adopted

In recent interview on #Russian talk show “Look & Think” #Lvova-Belova described how she "took in” a 15-year-old boy, Filip, from Mariupol, the city Russia demolished & occupied early in the war

Caleb has a new home! #Adopted #Celebrate #HouseRabbit #Congrats #AdoptDontShop #NewHome

I'm Asian. Mix.. #ADOPTED.

i wonder if other #adopted people have been watching Task on HBO. last night we were watching the scene in which Emily, the adopted daughter, tells her counselor that she is "grateful they adopted me," at which point i jumped up from the couch and told my spouse "i'm done." but i kept watching. +

#adopted a new #dog this week. Did a bunch of research on leash training, a bunch of research on crate training, a bunch of research on cat introductions, bought slow feeders….

Hans the boxer/pit mix is completely trained including not eating when he’s not hungry.
