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'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

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'm an adult who experienced, and still experiences, lifelong trauma. I'm an adult who has gone through years of therapy to get to this point.
I'm an adult who still doesn'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'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.*
