My adoptress began drinking secretly when I was a teen. She married a man she didn't love who couldn't give her kids. It's her own fault, but I understand her self medication.

I do not mind saying that words like "kill" become suddenly prominent in my head when I see this.

This would be hard for me to survive if it had been true in my case. I'd have needed much stronger than cannabis and E to manage that knowledge. My mind shatters defensively at the mere thought. Utter violence. 🥚 (Yes, I see the pun but trying to refrain. 😉)

My behaviour against my parents lead to arson and more. I attacked their family's reputation in town. When I was 14, they'd had enough, and we had to leave town or I'd face court. It's a terrible thing to be proud of, but adoption did it. I had zero regard for them. Nothing Curry mattered to me. 🥚

Bluesky is the hinterland of the #adopteetwitter diaspora. All the #adopteevoices heat and action seems to be elsewhere. I have met very few people on Bluesky in the past 2 years who were hostile toward ungrateful adoptees. Relative to Twitter, certainly, non-adoptee engagement is quite low. 🥚

I'm sure we would. A friend said, "I like my humour like my coffee, black and bitter." The fight to tell my story meant letting go of everyone who long ago let go of me because adoptee me always left. Again and again. Can't even really write about me. Never stayed long enough to get to know me. 😉 🥚

What relationships? I am just finishing up my adoption memoir and it is utterly devoid of any relationships. I don't even mention anyone. Not even my adopters. I cannot write about them as relationships. They were events.

If you really want to help children, support family preservation, economic justice, reproductive autonomy, and kinship care, not the system that commodifies us. Listen to #adoptees first, not the agencies or “happy adoption” PR. We are the data, not the anecdote. 3/3 🥚 #AdoptionIsTrauma

Adoption isn’t charity. It’s the permanent legal erasure of one family so another can feel complete. That’s true whether the adopters are gay, straight, cis, or otherwise. Exploitation doesn’t become just because it’s inclusive. 2/3 #AdoptionIsTrauma 🥚

Hi Jersey, #adoptee here. You ask: “what do we do with children who don’t have families” as though they materialised out of thin air. Most of us had families. We were coerced, separated, and rebranded to society as “orphans” to supply an industry that profits from our loss. 1/3 #AdoptionIsTrauma 🥚

Why would we keep the trauma at bay? Adoption is trauma. Trauma is the setting - indeed, a character itself - in our memoirs. If adoption wasn't trauma, we wouldn't be here writing about it. My memoir is being written to cut - to traumatise - the reader. It's time #adoption traumatises the Kept. 🥚

I am reminded of those times when my father was in hospital and we would visit him. It's a whole new level of hell. Taunt me with my abuser's death and then make me pretend I hope he recovers. I never cared for them. I used them. Stole from them. I was very ungrateful.

I had no instinct to care for my parents. They were strangers who abused me. Proximity was painful; care impossible. The hour drive between Acadia and Halifax meant her cancer death was managed by her husband and the church. Had it been up to me, I'd have (finally) run away and hid (from her). 🥚

And without roots, identity becomes probabilistic: one body, two genealogies, several histories. #Adoption replaces roots with loose ends. 🥚

We're non-gestated people whose existence arises from legal recognition rather than biology. #Adoptees become non-gestated when the state rewrites our origins. In #adoption land, recognition precedes existence. A name, a record, a data file; these are creative acts. 🥚 #adoption

Exactly! The idea that adoptive love is a noble sacrifice for which we should be grateful is toxic. Love isn’t charity. My love for my child isn’t a burden. It’s life itself. #Adoptees shouldn’t have to perform gratitude so others feel heroic. And who better than Costner to play the victim-hero. 🥚

Micheal Dean Carter was born. Robert Glenn Curry was made.
One arrived through biology, the other through paperwork. Between them lies the fragile border between the born and the recognised. When the two diverge, law reveals its power to define reality. 🥚 #adoption
