You have your history and context wrong, though. You seem to be want to share talking points pressed upon all of us by adoption agencies and adoptive parents. Perhaps you should engage in some modern writings about the reality of adoption.

This adoptee endorses all of this. Thank you for sharing.

They could at least get the grammar right. I find it gross though.

I can't help but wonder how much of this article could have been published before the election. Did NYT sit on this until Musk became less liked in the White House in order to mitigate Trump's backlash?

I'm never getting to Genius today. I'm at about 175 points and have run out of patience.

I hope that you will do some reading on the realities of adoption, both domestic and international. Your response to this is not new, or surprising, but is based in decades of adoption propaganda that tells you these are the only options. Try #adopteevoices

Adoption is fundamentally unethical. I have no love for this administration or its policies, but loss of access to state-sanctioned unethical familial and cultural separation does not cause me any heartburn. Let's interrogate adoption systems before holding them up as universally good.

I keep my dog on a leash at all times and one day she nearly dislocated my shoulder catching a baby bunny. It was awful. Thank you for using a catio. You have prevented many more birds and bunnies from a similar fate. I'm sorry for those bunnies, but I know we were both being responsible pet owners

The etymology of vagina is no better. Our entire anatomy was named in service of men.

I have had to navigate my feelings around a bio family obituary and an adoptive family obituary in the last couple of years. The worst was that neither asked me how I would like to be acknowledged. I was named in both, the bio as if he raised me, and the AP as though he didn't adopt me.

Do you want to reconsider this response?

Just confirms my decision to get off TikTok when they bowed down to Trump was correct for me.

Unfortunately not true. Canada has significantly restricted student visas.
