"In order to be adopted you first have to lose your entire family," Deanna Doss Shrodes says.

One of the most frequent questions I get, when I talk about is, "But what is the alternative to adoption?" It's a weird one, because it's a bit like asking, "But what is the alternative to child trafficking?" The alternative is to not traffick children.

This is the only poem I remember from my teenage journals. I burned them all when I was in college. It's short and to the point.
--

i lie awake in bed at night
and fear my capabilities
moonlight creeps through the window blinds
that flutter in the breeze
i need someone to cure my fright
to hold my knocking knees
to fill the hollow in my heart
that no one ever sees

Texting both my adoptive sister and biological sister tonight, and I'm so grateful. 🍀

evidence of my distriction

i'm wearing one earring
can't remember if i took
my pills

papers pile up
some bills something something
i'm navel gazing again
having been put out
still looking for a nonexistent
way back in

words are too hard
for the softer world
the world is too sharp
for the tender heart

Going to a new doctor today, and for the first time ever, I'll be able to answer questions about my family medical history. I turn 41 next month.

1 year ago today, I found out who my dad is. Nearly 40 years after I was born, we finally got to meet each other. Thank goodness for DNA testing. I'm so blessed.

@ainebet As someone who was transnationally adopted from Korea, at 5 months old or so, I get asked if I speak Korean or remember anything from my time in Korea.

Ok so since nobody asked anything yet, let me start - - what is a question people ask you often, that you wish you didn't have to answer? Like, what's something that you wish everyone already knew by now, because it's so obvious to us but non-adopted people don't seem to get it?
