Just for fun, here's my father (l) & me (r), side by side. He was about 30 in his pic, I was about 15 in mine. Pretty wild, no?

(A surfboard had broken my nose a cpl of wks b4 this pic was taken, but normally, we had/have the same nose.)

"Adoption also isn't driven by children w/o families; it's driven by the desires & demands of unrelated strangers to add those children to their own families. The orphan discourse (& the resulting confusion about the actual numbers of orphans worldwide) reflects market demand for children, not children's actual need for care." Another Must Read about by an person. adoptionpolitics.substack.com/

"No intoning of words or signing of papers or, indeed, a lifetime of attentive & loving care, has the power to make or unmake kinship relations." This is a fundamental truth. & the linked piece is an absolute Must Read. open.substack.com/pub/corsent/

I never introduced myself! In addition to what's in my bio, I am the sort of person who believes:

Black lives matter . Abortion is healthcare . Abolish adoption . . . Trans women are women
