I'm one of the adoptees that regularly falls into the trap of qualifying that I love my adoptive family when I speak out about adoption, or when I call for the end of plenary adoption.

It's kind of screwed up when you think about it.
I shouldn't have to justify myself. I'm just tired of the assumptions that are made about us. If we criticize adoption we are ungrateful, had a bad adoption etc. That might be true for some and not others
Either way, it shouldn't negate or undermine what we say.
Adoption doesn't rock.

Abdomennt is pain.

Cultural loss cuts to the core of my being.

Lineage annihilation is just wrong.

I won't pretend that it's beautiful for anyones comfort.
