My birth mother's first born and youngest (me) both ended up in care and adopted.
Tomorrow, I meet my eldest sister, who i found via a dna site. I am nervous and excited as meeting maternal family has not been a positive experience.

so, it’s been a couple of days since I last checked the Adoptees of Bluesky feed, and it is *flourishing*! I can remember when I created it (with help from some good people) and there were about five of us posting! If you want to post to it too, please let me know! 🥚

Even not for profit adoption agencies are exploitive as they require a product to supply to customers.

i’ll start calling #adoption a “win-win” as soon as i start seeing liberals & progressives recommending to their friends that they consider relinquishing their children to strangers for life as readily as they recommend acquiring other people’s relinquished children.

🧵 I have finally left the toxicity of X behind and found blue-sky.
