Why not? Because society has been taught to believe adopters are saviors & saints. But abusive adoptive parents are not uncommon. That ābetter lifeā trope needs to be yeeted into the sunāwhen you give up your child to #adoption , youāre abandoning them to an utter crapshoot, & if they are eventually neglected, abused, &/or even murdered, itās unlikely youāll even know. #AdopteeVoices https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/112/067/436/517/047/591/original/a29e5c6c51daf4f1.jpeg npub1f2nfeqzs63azzyyhlzegyv3yxjfvpe3y8f7aaq3rwmekqsnw2h8qf6r7u0 Boots Chantilly Did you receive a donor egg from Angela O in San Francisco or Dallas between 2010-2018?
