If you have trouble accepting that adoption involves complex & chronic developmental trauma because it makes you feel badly about using adoption as a “solution” to abortion, it’s time to re-evaluate your beliefs.

#RoeVWade #RoeVsWade #abortion #adoption #MentalHealthAwareness Without trauma-informed services, it’s very difficult to ensure the stability of as many adoptive families as possible. If you only care that kids are adopted but don’t care if they achieve safety & stability post-adoption, you don’t belong in this life-altering conversation.

Someone asked me why #AmyConeyBarrett’s thoughts on #SafeHaven are flawed. A brief summary…

WOW @WIRED. This entire article is a dangerous, hyperbolic gishgallop of inaccuracies and stereotypes adoption scholars have labored decades to correct. And are easily disproven. I’m rarely speechless. But I don’t even know where to begin. #adoption #antiadoption #wired Most pressing is mid-defining the Adoptee Rights Movement and calling it the “anti-adoption movement.” There *is* no anti-adoption movement in the U.S. A few anonymous and individual accounts do not comprise a movement and are certainly not the Adoptee Rights Movement. @WIRED
