At least in the movies those orphaned and adopted heroes know their origin stories.
I never knew mine until I went searching after living almost five decades. I'm lucky my birth parents were willing to share, otherwise I'd still be in the dark.
My story never belonged to me.

And that is just part one of the plan. We know there is a part two, and maybe beyond, which hasn't been made public.

Yes to more practices informed by adoptee voices and perspectives. Especially when it comes to those whose link to & knowledge of family medical history was severed like a Fiskers to a thread.
Adoptees, if you're an adult adoptee interested in participating in a research study about genetic testing, check this out from the University of Minnesota 🥚👇🏽

National Adoption Awareness Month, which is about promoting #adoption, begins today. none of the promotional material contains an answer to the following naïve question:
why does “give this child a loving and safe home” require “erase and rewrite this child’s entire identity”?

Only for the mothers though bc obviously they were all immaculate conceptions. The Magdalene Sisters film painted an accurate and sobering picture of this:

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names.
You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop?
That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.
