Q3: Statistically, transracial adoptees tend to have additional struggles compared to same race adoptees. Why might that be the case?

Q2: The birth certificates of adoptees are usually sealed, hiding the identity of birth families. Some adoptees have concerns about laws that hinder their knowledge. There are only 9 states that allow this if a judge deems it necessary usually for health history. Thoughts?

Q1: Data shows adoptees are more likely to suffer from depression and addiction. Adoptees are also more likely to have suicidal ideation. Is this surprising to you? Any thoughts about why?

Welcome to my AEA ACT EdChat. Today’s topic is adoption awareness. Although adoption has long been seen as a blessed event, there is new research, testimonials and data to indicate adoption is traumatic for children. Today’s discussion will be about the real effects of adoption in children. #myAEA

100% agree with the smart people @podsaveamerica.crooked.com and @maddow.msnbc.com
My selfcare during Trump season is walking outdoors rain or shine. Thanks for your sage advice.

America's richest 10% now hold 60% of the nation's wealth.

The bottom half of America? It holds just 6%.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive.

America has an incredible amount of unresolved emotional scars that draws them to supposedly strong men like Trump.The large trucks, the steroids, the loathing of women. America needs some big time social emotional healing. The oligarchs are capitalizing on our collective pain. @aldems.bsky.social

The felon isn’t in office yet & voters that voted R are already having buyer’s remorse! We must keep working to elect Ds up & down ballot, reaching voters where they are, helping voters understand that the felon/GOP are NOT for working class people. The felon/GOP will hurt them to help themselves!

Message to MAGA men… women are increasingly repulsed by your misogyny. Your gas guzzling trucks and stupid beards are not attractive.

Special education teachers serve not only students but families. We need to fight for federal funding.

@theintellectualist.bsky.social brought up a good point.

Biden is handing off a STRONG economy to the rapey tax fraud felon.

Remind folks whenever you can!

💥Thank you, President Biden.

Engaged teachers are just tired. We don’t indoctrinate. We are peacemakers. No teacher ever wants to stir up trouble with the families we serve. We accept students as we get them because we are decent humans.

I’m doing better by tuning into @podsaveamerica.bsky.social and @bmeiselas.bsky.social I’m tired of fighting but not done. I’m a teacher. The kids are watching.
