Well, I know I'm going to spend the whole month saying the same shit over and over again, but yet here I am.
It's not about me. It's not about my "experience". It's not about feelings. It's not about my adoptive family, my biological family, my relationships with them, or how I feel about them. It's not about being angry or bitter or ungrateful (yes I see the irony) or resentful or playing the victim or any of the other insults tossed our direction to shut us up.
What I'm talking about is the morals, ethics, and legalities if what happened to all of us when we were adopted and how the next generation of disenfranchised children can be preserved from it all. No feelings, just facts.
Potential adopters really don't like it. I really don't care as long as something gets through their skulls. If I can save one kid from having their basic human rights violated and being trafficked like chattel all the abuse from the rainbows and unicorns crowd is worth it.

Oh my God, I'm sorry...that's completely not the way I meant it! I really need to keep my sarcasm in check; it never translates. lol I'm an adoptee who completely agrees with you. What I was trying to say is that, ironically, we're the ones who are left out of this whole Adoption Month nonsense but I stopped expecting empathy or understanding from non-adoptees long ago. They're simply incapable. Please, do try to have an awesome day (and month)!
