If I say I no longer want adoption to exist and that causes you to froth at the mouth and bare your tiger teeth, I respectfully ask you to question your response to my statement rather than attack me.
Seriously. Why are you so angry? Examine your defensiveness before you "try to understand."

all #adopted people were forced as children, with no guidance from anyone, to write parts for themselves in other people’s plays.
i’m finally beginning to understand all the ways that this was *the* formative influence on the person i have become.

This is the first time in US history that a state has repealed statutory protections for a specific group.
Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signs a bill that strikes gender identity from Iowa civil rights law, making the state the first to remove civil rights from a previously protected class.

Transracial adoption is the ultimate diversity hire. Just like adoption has been used as a racist tool to control, erase and oppress, it has also been used to appear including and non-racist. The transracial adoptee performs the role of the token diversity hire, whilst being forced to assimilate.
