Two adoptees – one vocal the other not so much…

Day One of the longest month of the year (despite being only 30 days) where we all get to hear how wonderful and downright beautiful adoption is...

Isn’t it valid to compare adoption with a pregnancy?

Here We Go Again

by Snarkurchin

Yay! It's National Adoption "Awareness" Month, in which almost nobody is made aware of anything about adoption except that it exists. Apparently people's brains fall out every Halloween and they have to be reminded about adoption (and furniture and birds, for all I know).

In short, there's nothing special about November. It's pitching the same "awareness" we're told about adoption the rest of the year. That is bullshit, and it needs to change. Some of us who have an actual awareness of adoption have been trying to change it for decades now. Very few people listen.
