The way society talks about adoption and to adoptees is stuck in the 1970s #AdopteeVoices #NationalAdoptionWeek
“I love my Mum because she adopted me into her life and loves me like her birth child, and she is the best mum”

The irony of this woman posting this. She blocked me when I spoke out about adoption 🙄

Adoption is not a public good.
Building a family via adoption first requires a severance from another family.

My thoughts on watching adopters battling with adoptees who are sharing their truths during #NationalAdoptionWeek .
What a surprise NOT my letter from my forced adopted children is late again already waited 8years due to letterbox staff incompetence 🙄 and #NationalAdoptionWeek too although most of us have got NOTHING to thank adoption or it’s workers for
The current system of adoption is the default for one reason: infertility. The price for permanence should not be giving up your identity and family. Plenary adoption is a human rights violation #AdopteeVoices #NationalAdoptionWeek
Not so great at sharing my own #book however have been encouraged to do so during #NationalAdoptionWeek #NationalAdoptionWeek 2023
Although written for #musictherapist s its also relevant to other professions eg #socialwork but definitely for #adopteevoices

When adoptees tell you that adoption is traumatic it's not racism or homophobia. It's lived experience.

👌 post #adoption ...& it's 'lifelong aftermath'. You hear that, adoption industry? We are #adoptees FOR LIFE. We suffered #developmentaltrauma , #adoption trauma & many of us battle #CPTSD . All because of #adoption . Where's our support? #MentalHealthMatters #NationalAdoptionWeek
The hashtags associated with #NationalAdoptionWeek do not reflect this history of social harm. Whilst I hope this raises #AdoptionAwareness , the stories told cannot be reconciled with #AdoptionIsLove .
Today begins #NationalAdoptionWeek 2023. It started in 1997 to ‘dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding the process’.
As a historian of the welfare state I can affirm that the period from the 1940s to the 1970s was a British ‘baby scoop’.
