1 year ago she started Kindergarten. In just a few weeks she'll start first grade... My head is spinning... #rubinatyler #motherhood 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Thank you for this, @dallasclayton #bekind I keep a pretty close eye on Dear Adoption, stats because I need to be reminded of its impact. You've heard me say many times I, personally, am not anti adoption across the board. What I AM is pro family preservation, pro children, pro ethics, pro checks/balances, and pro whatever is good/right/true. DA, is not a space for griping or finger pointing; if you're under that false impression, please listen carefully... What is shared by adoptees at DearAdoption.com are not VIEWS on adoption; what is shared are LIVED EXPERIENCES by the adopted. Their experiences are not open for debate. This is why we encourage our readers to listen; challenge what you've known and/or have been taught about adoption. In my opinion, good things can come from adoption as a last resort, after family preservation has been attempted in every way possible; even in that goodness the trauma all adoptees experience can never be fully erased or healed this side of heaven. I've also learned adoption can be an unethical, lying, corrupt, abusive, isolating, family destroyer. We MUST listen to adoptee voices. We show love, grow, and learn by listening. I'm so thankful for DA,; for all I've learned and for all it has become and will become because adoptees' are sharing their lived experiences. Thank you for listening...thank you for hearing. And to adoptees; thank you for supporting the DA, community and for sharing so we can all know better to do better. #AdopteeMovement @dearadoption . . . . . #adopted #adoption #adoptee #internationaladoption #internationaladoptee #domesticadoption #domesticadoptee #adopt #shareyourstory #authenticity #inspiration #encourage #dearadoption #inspire #listen #share #authentic #identity #loss #grief #parenthood #adoptiveparents #parents #adoptivefamilies #fostercare #identity #culturalidentity
