Due to adoption, I fled Canada, landing in Albania. Lost at the end of Europe. I finally found a home in my wife and our son in Germany, where he has more right to be than I; forever foreign at home.
#Adoption steals from. 🥚

I’m just so far away from home

Tough shit for the adoptee then, is it? Everyone gets to know who they are except we adoptees? Why does being an adoptee automatically disqualify us from knowing who we are? Why do the relinquisher's "right" to avoid facing consequences trump the adoptee's right to know who they are?

In my case, things wouldn't have been worse, but infinitely better. In fact, the family who relinquished me kept the next child they bore, making 7 in all. My adoption was unnecessary and I wound up in a violent, evangelical situation. It was in adoption that things couldn't have been worse for me.

My adoptress' younger sister, who also relinquished as a teen - she and I ended up at the same private school 30 years apart - married a man with 3 daughters who were bemused by and, ultimately, uninterested in being my cousins, even though my birth certificate says they are. Yet we're nothing. 🥚

Smash burgers. These are not new. Not a thing. The same thing was simply called a hamburger before the advent of Big Macs and Whoppers. We ate "smash burgers" every time we ate a diner. Except they were called hamburgers. It's like Grunge. It wasn't actually new, but refurbished punk.

While in S. Korea, I mistakenly thought I'd seen chocolate #cheese slices.
Yet since then I keep thinking, "But chocolate cheese'd be good."
But people tell me this'd be gross.
Why?
#milk and #chocolate were made for each other.
Surely #food people could find the gouda-chocolate ratio?

Adoptees are sin eaters, held responsible for adult problems we come to embody.
Of course there's abuse.
It's not allowed to be unkind
But still the hate lives in my mind
I'll make no noise I'll hide my pain
I'll close my eyes I won't complain
I'll lie right back and take the blame

Hi, #adoptee here. In my adoption file it states that my Christian adopters wanted a child with university potential. How does one determine uni potential in a new born? In 1968, it was code for white. My adopters were racist evangelicals and my adoption file proclaims it. Adoption is racist. 🥚

I have #CPTSD from childhood abuse & neglect.
I'm not well funded CPTSD.
Well funded CPTSD? Trump, Rowling, Musk
We know these three endured trauma.
Until diagnosis, JK won't - indeed can't - change.
Her actions ARE her symptoms.
She's in hyper vigilance mode.
And she's too rich to heal.

My wife enjoy these shows, too. I showed her your post and she laughed. Said you were right. As I lived in S. Korea for a year teaching English, she likes to share details now and again. She's watching now and one of the characters just said: "I'm drunk. Alcoholism runs in my family." 😅😉

This is not my first grow. Been doing it for a few years. It is, however, my first legal crop. These shoots come from seeds produced by a plant that germinated from a Feminised seed, so I have no expectations as I don't know what kind of seeds a Fem. plant will produce! Have to wait and see! 🤷♂️

Mr. and Mrs. #Cannabis out with their kids and their Cactus adoptee. I can't see a difference, can you?
Adoption's societal-level gaslighting, and that means you, too, if you've internalised the lie that adoption is equal to gestation.
Just ask the cactus.

No one would blink if we learned Depeche Mode were adoptees. Gore's attire aside, songs such as Wrong: I was born in the wrong house with the wrong ascendancy.
The wrong ascendancy. Consider genetic mirroring. #Adoptees are Nurtured by alien Nature. My gestures and expressions are not my body's. 🥚

Excellent trilogy. Skips along at a steady pace, but isn't superficial or derivative. Has all the fantasy fun you want, sword fights, betrayal, black magic, tortured same-sex relationship, it's all here.

Neil nails #adoption
I'm lost between two shores
L.A.'s fine but it ain't home
New York's home but it ain't mine no more
I am I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am I cried!
I am said I!
But I got an emptiness deep inside
And I've tried, but it won't let me go 🥚

What if we thought of ourselves as genres rather than genders?
Genres are far more numerous and fluid.
If one walks down the street in full Goth attire, is gender really important under all that?
Am I telling you I'm a boy under the make up or that my childhood sucked?
#Genre, not #gender.

Inadvertent #adoption takes:
I got no means to show identification
I got no papers show you what I am
You'll have to take me just the way that you find me
What's gone is gone
I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all

From my own garden. From seeds produced by one of our plants which grew from a Feminised seed. We have germinated a number and are surprised they've gotten this far. Let's see what grows! #cannabis 🌿
However, regardless of what we get, this little propeller sprout is surely a good luck charm!

#Adoption is a trauma that is often overlooked. "It’s not natural for a baby anything to be separated immediately from its mother," says Lesli Johnson, LMFT, who works with adoptees. 3/3
Primates belong with their birth mothers/families. Lemurs and humans suffer the same due to the loss. 🥚

Separating a human child from its mother at birth can be profoundly traumatic, leading to attachment issues, developmental delays, and long-term emotional and behavioral problems. Early maternal contact is crucial for a child's emotional, psychological, and physical development. 2/3

Infant lemurs taken at birth to be pets face serious lifelong physiological & behavioural issues. "To be healthy, lemurs need prolonged maternal contact," says Cathy Williams, DVM. Early separation disrupts brain development leading to deep social and psychological problems. 1/3

Neil Diamond was doing Taylor Swift before she was even born. Can you hear it, babe Can you hear it, babe From another time, from another place Do you remember it, babe And the radio played like a carnival tune As we lay in our bed in the other room When we gave it away That's classic Swift! 🎸🎶🎧

Maiden's take on Ancient Marriner has an image of adoption's chosen lie: Death and she, Life-in-Death They throw their dice for the crew She wins the Mariner And he belongs to her now .. She lets him live, her chosen one The rest are dead. Adoptee's alone with capricious fate. Without choice. 🥚

Yes! Mendacity! Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is instructive here: "Mendacity is a system that we live in, liquor is one way out an' death's the other," says Brick. "We don’t live together we occupy the same cage.” Maggie sums up the cause and effect of systems of mendacity. Adoption's mendacity. 🥚

Symbols of #Christianity
As #evangelical kids we were taught that thorns were driven onto Christ's head. Why?
Because of our born-to-sin lives. Because we had the temerity to be conceived, we are responsible for, and indebted to his torture and murder.

The road to hell is built on good intentions, but many claim the intention to love is what makes a parent out of adoption. Well, the intention to love a stranger's child is the very fucking essence of hell for said child. Because in adoption, LOVE IS CONDITIONAL. Tony's shared the proof. 🥚
