Update: I watched the hot mess of a movie that is Paranormal Adoption and delved into its problematic #adoption tropes in my latest blog post. I invite you to check it out!

That skeleton should be grateful it got to go swimming!
Am I doing it right? #adoptee
as an #adoptee i am as opposed to forcing people into parenthood as i am to forcing people out of parenthood. Both are central to the fascist Right’s program of white supremacist, patriarchal family engineering.
From 1990.
The story and language used by adopters/kidnappers is so disturbing.

Sorry, forgot the #adoptee 🥚 see below thread for support options this month.
This is your periodic reminder that #VA01 Rep Rob Wittman, an #adoptee, introduced the Adoption Information Act to make our taxpayer $ pressure poor pregnant folks into relinquishing their babies rather than give them the money they need to raise their own children.

My wife is searching for anyone with Lenca heritage from Honduras, as she is likely Lenca and was taken from there as an infant.

Promotional poster for the indie movie Paranormal Adoption. Features the main doll character, Miss Rachel, looking out from a corner of a window of a house with a maniacal smile on her face. She looks like she’s wearing heavy makeup. To the right of the doll’s head is a badly photoshopped image of a white, thin, conventionally attractive, smiling white woman in a bikini. Very mysterious as to why that image is there, probably one of the characters. The title “Paranormal Adoption” is at the top. Below the title is the tagline, which reads, “Could a child and her evil doll steal your sanity?” The white text at the bottom reads, “Written, Produced, and Directed by Carl Watts.” The color scheme is black, green, red, and brown. Incidentally, Carl Watts accused Blumhouse Pictures of ripping off Paranormal Adoption when it made M3GAN. TMZ has the scoop: https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/07/m3gan-team-sued-plagiarize-script/
Oh my word, there’s a movie called Paranormal Adoption?!? Came out in 2012 and it’s free on YouTube.
As an #adoptee who loves doll horror movies, I’m intrigued. I bet it has all kinds of chaotic problems. Gonna check it out asap.
Denmark's largest and most influential LGBT+ organisation has invited the #adoptee led organisation Adoptionspolitisk Forum (that I am a part of) to deliver a speech at a member event on "ethical family creation". They have also invited an organisation led by donor concieved folks. >
A year ago I was getting ready to take the trip of my life to meet my mother and my family. I was excited but scared. It ended up being more life changing than I could’ve ever imagined.

My parents said, "Don't lie. You won't get into trouble if you tell me the truth."
Which, of itself, was a damnable lie.
But then *add in* ALL the LIES *they* told to suit their "family history" and wow. My first adoptive father's son has believed I am his birth half sister all his life. 🤦♀️

Jonah, 19, is one of four children the Bevins adopted from Ethiopia in 2012. Jonah alleged in court filings his parents abandoned him at age 17 in a brutally abusive youth facility in Jamaica closed by authorities in 2024.

People are not chattel. Why do we accept the trafficking of children (almost entirely from homes below the poverty line) into the homes of the wealthy? #rejectadoption #adoptee #adoptionistrafficking
today—TODAY—i learned that a bakery within a short walk from my house was opened a Korean American #adoptee who envisioned it as “a space that prioritizes Asian American and adoptee voices.” and it’s closing! 😢

I was at a gallery displaying student artwork, including some of my 17yo’s, and I complimented one of their classmates on her painting and I said, “by the way I’m *****’s dad.” And she said, “I had a feeling.”
my #adoptee heart leapt a mile. I don’t care if she was roasting me.

Fake identification is illegal and prosecutable yet adopted & displaced people have people listed on their birth certificates who are not biologically related to them or responsible for their birth. @LINALEADSWITHLOVE

What should #adoptee like me bring?
My actual real OBC showing my orig name, from first Mother?
Most states deny #adoptee access to their OBC.
Or my fake ass OBC once renamed by new owners
On days like St. Patrick’s day people are rightfully proud of their heritage because it matters. But adoptees are told their heritage doesn’t matter and we are just supposed to be grateful. We have to turn to dna sites for the answers that others know and hide from us. #adoptee
ask Moses. never underestimate the power of an #adoptee.
Saying, “If you can’t take care of your child by yourself, then I will, but only if I can replace you as their parent” is blackmail.

It is common? One estimate is that in Minnesota alone, over 17,000 people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ negligence.

I'm reading/watching/listening to adoptee content and I'd like to hear from more marginalized voices- please drop your recommendations in the comments 🙏

being a mouthy #adoptee online has taught me—who enjoys every social privilege *other* than being adopted—so much about what it can be like to have one’s ideas and voice co-opted by people who can reap praise for “outspokenness” without facing any real risk of abuse for speaking out.
