don't think ppl who adopt ever get what they expect. They rarely get what they want. But most of them get what they deserve." She never brought the subject up again.

I still believe that's true. /end

@SallyStrange has always been a filthy, corrupt industry. I wish everyone would read up on its history & the ppl who made it what it is today--including the "Mother of Modern Adoption," Georgia Tann.

It's a long read, but it's worth it. I wish there more more like it. Folks needs to understand that every adoptive family is built on the ruins of another. They changed my name; falsified my birth certificate; severed me from everything society claims is most important--but they couldn't change who I am. I will ALWAYS be the daughter of my biological mother & father. I've been struggling w/ that dichotomy all my life. mstdn.social/@shrinkthinks@spo

File under Fcked Up Truths About That Ppl Never Discuss (it's a VERY fat file): I could marry any of my bio siblings. Even knowing they exist & having identified them. Excepting those in step-parent adoptions, that's the reality of every in this country--bc in order to finalize an adoption, a legal severance from bio family must occur. I'm not legally related to any of my bio siblings. & we could legally marry.
