Did my narcissistic adoptive mother write this tweet?
Imagine thinking neglect at the hands of my adoptive parents is "nothing to complain about."
Imagine thinking it& #39;s okay for me to be a full grown adult and know my a-parents are still keeping secrets.
Imagine empathy. https://twitter.com/mermaid_dev/status/1293656145656082433">https://twitter.com/mermaid_d...

How is it so many people on this bird app disregard the trauma of adoptees because "they were wanted by someone."
I was adopted. My a-mother has 5 natural born children. I was treated vastly different than the rest. Yet I was "wanted."

I am not ungrateful for seeing a situation I was raised in under a different light as an adult. I& #39;m an adult who experienced, and still experiences, lifelong trauma. I& #39;m an adult who has gone through years of therapy to get to this point.
I& #39;m an adult who still doesn& #39;t know a great deal about my own genetic make-up, my own family, where I came from, who my relatives are. All of that was hidden and taken from me. My name is not even my own.
While I believe the intentions of the OP are good, there is a clear hidden agenda and a lack of understanding of a specific group of trauma victims. (Yes, that& #39;s what we are - trauma victims.) We are not complaining about "nothing." Hear what we are saying.
Reunification with the natural family should always be the goal.
Open adoption is not always open. I mean, mine was.

My bio mom placed me for adoption bc her Catholic parents kicked her out of the house when she found out she was pregnant. My a-dad did many drugs throughout my childhood. My a-mom enabled him. They were unsupportive, too busy with each other.
^ Now imagine reading that tweet and thinking I have nothing to complain about bc I was wanted.
I was wanted - by my b-mom. She was given an unfair decision to make because ~religion.~
This is the burden I bare. Every day.

*I want to make it abundantly clear that this is not an attack on OP. I wrote this thread in hopes maybe she would read and understand that I am one of many who have experienced trauma at the hands of adoption.*
