@cindyyusa If you understand how the incredibly misogynistic, coercive, predominantly Xtian-run, $21 billion /year #adoption industry works, you’ll understand that forcing ppl who don’t want a baby to give birth & denying IVF to those who desperately want a baby go hand in hand.
Tangentially, look up how many times Aileen Cannon has adopted. @RickiTarr
I think we all can agree that the main thing holding back the growth of kbin and lemmy throughout all of the reddit drama is a lack of accessibility. Kbin and lemmy both capture the spirit of reddit in their style and userbase, but really lack the ease of use that led to millions of people adopting reddit. Looking at the trends,...
Je suis, depuis un moment, à la recherche d’un #chat (on, de préférence) à adopter à #Toulouse.
J’ai contacté plusieurs associations/refuges mais soit je n’ai pas de réponse, soit il n’y a pas de chat de disponible (ils partent trop vite).
Je tiens vraiment à l’#adoption j’ai aucune envie d’aller en animalerie ou élevage.
@RickiTarr Being told by all of society that starting life losing my mother, father, siblings, extended family, identity, heritage & ancestry was of no consequence & no importance. #adoption#AdopteeVoices
Die ca. 2-jährige Nura hat gerade die letzte Chemo hinter sich (Stickertumor), in 4 Wochen ist Abschlussuntersuchung. Zur Zeit lebt sie auf einer Pflegestelle in #Hamburg.
Nun sucht die süße Maus (naja, gut 20 kg 😄) ein liebevolles Für-immer-Zuhause – bei Interesse stelle ich den Kontakt gerne her.
My adopters starved me, too. & despite the fact that I was CLEARLY malnourished, no one ever tried to help me. Why not? Because society has been taught to believe adopters are saviors & saints. But abusive adoptive parents are not uncommon. That “better life” trope needs to be yeeted into the sun—when you give up your child to #adoption , you’re abandoning them to an utter crapshoot, & if they are eventually neglected, abused, &/or even murdered, it’s unlikely you’ll even know. #AdopteeVoices
Because #adoption pros (& most of society) like to pretend adoptees are “as if born to” our adopters, there is ZERO oversight after an adoption is finalized. ZERO. If the kid you relinquish isn’t lucky enuff to end up w/ decent ppl—or if the folks to whom you entrusted them turn out to be lying sacks of sht, OH WELL. Sucks to be them. They’ll spend their lives being told by all of society how magnanimous & selfless their abusers are & that they’re lucky & should be grateful. #AdopteeVoices
I have bad news if you've been thinking about adopting. Looks like you just missed the Black Friday baby sales! Yesterday was your last chance to get $500 off your new dishwasher, OOPS, I meant to say "baby"--your new baby! Guess you'll have to wait until next year. #adoption#NAAM#BabiesForSale#BuildYourFamilyWithDiscountBabies#AdopteeVoices

I've heard that all my life--but somehow that seems to apply only to those who aren't adopted. When it comes to adoptees like me, our hypocritical society's tune spins on a dime, & suddenly, DNA isn't important at all. So I'm going to end #NAAM with my (admittedly provocative) response to society's dismissal of my need to know who the fck I am. #adoption#AdopteeVoices
'The research team... found a link between birth mothers who had experienced stressful childhood events, such as abuse, neglect, violence or poverty, and their children’s behavior problems. This was true even though the children were raised by their adoptive parents and were never directly exposed to the stresses their birth mothers had experienced.'
I often speak critically about adoption. That means I’m often called angry & bitter. I’ve worked thru a lot in therapy. I’m not bitter, but there’s a lot about adoption that makes me angry. That’s not a negative—nor is challenging the whitewashed industry rhetoric that defines #adoption in our society. It is vital. Not for me, but for young adoptees, bc there are so many who’ve been taught that their confusion, grief, anger, & longing is unacceptable. It’s not only acceptable, it’s REASONABLE. +
The $21 billion /yr adoption industry (& far, far, FAR too many entitled adoptive parents) claims #adoption exists to benefit adoptees—that we are the focus of adoption. That’s not true.

Latest street kitty we took in (looking for a home in S. California)
Named him Noodles because his favorite maneuver is to roll on his back and act all noodly.
(originally called him Flounder, but he didn't respond to that; seemed to like Noodles better).
Between May 1 to May 15, adoption fees at all Maui Humane Society adoption locations will be reduced in price. This includes adoption fees of $0 for #dogs and #cats six months and older, as well as $50 adoptions for kittens under six months old. The special will be available at the Maui Humane Society shelter, in addition to Petco in Kahului and Cat Cafe Maui at Queen Ka'ahumanu Center.
"I didn't realize until years later, thinking back about that, was I was three years old. I lived with my birth mother, and then I didn't anymore.
And I was a three year old. I was talking to her. I forgot over [00:27:00] a while, over time what I was doing. And in the book I talk about it that way. I forgot what I was doing, but I kept doing it. And in, the way that I forgot my name, I had no idea what my name was and I had to find it."
