October 30 = Adoptee Remembrance Day
Tomorrow we bear witness to the unbearable losses that co-occur with adoption.
No sugar coating.
We all do this in the ways in which we can.

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors.
Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Federal agents descend on Chinatown in apparent raid
The raid follows recent federal arrests at a Midtown migrant shelter, part of what officials call a broader push to “restore law and order” in New York City.

Client theme: Feeling "stuck?" "unmotivated?" "drained?"
You are not alone!
Try to remember:
One tiny move makes a huge difference.
It can look like:
-a phone call/text
-a stretch
-putting on a song
-washing a dish
-drinking a glass of water
-watering a plant

It was a privilege to talk with so many birth mothers for this story. For some, it was the first time they had spoken about their experiences to anyone outside of family. I wish I could have included more of their stories. Every conversation was important & helped me better understand open adoption.
This is so beautifully reported and written.
