in response to a request, I took a group photo of a stack of books, mostly by adoptees, that center on or deal with adoption. i have read many more besides—and have given about half of my collection to other adoptees. It represents is a small, growing, and rich literature of #adopteevoices. +

A tall stack of books mostly by adoptees, all touching or centering on adoption

Yet again, The Ethicist spends an entire reply debating whether or not an #adoptee has the right to know their story. There is only one ethical and moral response: yes. Every time. No matter what the truth is, it belongs to us. #adopteevoices www.nytimes.com/2025/03/1….

virtually *all* depictions of adoption in mainstream popular culture are given from the point of view of adopters, cater to adopters, flatter adopters, vindicate adopters. These depictions do not complement #adopteevoices, they erase them.

Tony Corsentino @notalegalrecord.net

because #adoption follows me literally whenever I go, I was at a party yesterday and ended up talking about it with people I had just met (not entirely my fault!) and heard one of them say that some recent magazine pieces about adoption made them understand that no one ever listens to adoptees.

🥚🦋🌈💖💚🌺 #mothersday can be quite confusing painful complicated for #adoptees. It is for me. I 💜 my #birthmother Joy who was forced to #relinquish me, her child. I 💜 my #adoptivemom who did the best she knew how to raise someone else's child. #adoption IS #adoptiontrauma listen to #adopteevoices

Holding space for children who have lost their mothers to adoption and for mothers who have lost their children to adoption.

My first-ever published poem was also the most emotionally vulnerable writing I've ever put onto a page. Thank you Blue Earth Review for selecting "post- and pre-" as the 2024 Minnesota BIPOC Emerging Writer Award runner-up in poetry! #adopteevoices

I've spent much of my adult life unpacking adoption trauma, decluttering my being, making space for little me to shine. "Better life" is a myth, all we know is we lived a different one. Sharing our stories is essential to changing the narrative. Here's one of mine #adopteevoices #adopteerights

Never get tired of repeating this: You cannot be an intersectional feminist and anti-racist and also support the adoption and surrogacy industries. #adoption #adoptee #adopteevoices 🥚

“like a promise or a wound” 28 July 2025 15min #digitalpainting #abstractexpressionism #abstractart #digitalart #quickart #intuitiveart #adoption #trauma #adopteevoices

portrait oriented painting in a blurry abstract expressionist style. Against a green background, the outlines of an object or structure rise from the bottom of the frame. It is squarish and mostly bright neon pink, rendered in streaks of paint that leave the shape looking unfinished. Atop this structure is a tented deep blue shape, also blurry and whose outline also dissolves away at the edges. Hanging over this scene, seemingly attached by a radiating line of deep blue to the object below, is what appears to be the bottom half of a blood red spherical shape, shadowed black underneath and appearing somewhat threatening against the brighter pink, blue and green colors that dominate the scene. Upon closer inspection, we see that in the bottom right corner, below where the pink shape is dissolving away, there are more shaded streaks of encroaching black, echoing the black shadows on the blood red hemisphere above.

“chiron’s sacrifice” 5 Dec 2025 #art #abstractart #intuitiveart #abstractexpressionist #digitalpainting #adopteevoices #chiron #bskyart

Abstract expressionist digital painting featuring a central figure composed of a pinkish-peach circular base with what appears to be a shaded hole in the center—the suggestion of a doughnut shape— flanked on the left by a vertical golden rectangle approximately the same height as the donut, and topped with a darker pink, two pronged structure similar to a castle battlement, a horizontal rectangular “wall” with squat, vaguely outlined tower-like structures jutting up from its left and right ends.

This central figure is tilted somewhat to the left, apparently floating or sliding on an undulating lilac shaded base that covers the bottom of the frame. The background behind the figure is hazy, shades of pink, peach, gold and light green. A small light pink spherical object approximately the size of the donut hole appears to hover above and to the right of the figure, slightly overlapping the tower-like prong on its upper right.

“relinquished” 2025 June 9 #art #digitalart #oilpainting #abstract #expressionist #adoptionforprofit #adopteevoices

Abstract expressionist digital oil painting depicting a tall receptacle like shape that appears to gleam like pewter. The “mouth” is long and gaping and has a crimson line or scar interrupting part of its arc. A similar line highlights an edge of the shape and brighter splotches of red gleam from the edge of the shape’s base, which appears to be in the shape of a stylized heart or spade. Two bright blue dots shine from above the “mouth” furthering the similarity to a distressed face, stretched in suffering or hunger.

I went through something really strange and awful called adoption a.k.a. legal child trafficking. It fundamentally changed my worldview and wounded me in a way I am sure I will never recover from. I am so tired of pretending it didn’t and of being told to be grateful for it, I’m not. #adopteevoices
