@IkuzoTChris Look Chris, i will not sugarcoat it for you nor subtweet you.This is coming from a triggering conversation about adoption which started last night on CH. You didn’t allow me to put together what i wanted to say, so here is platform that i will use uninterrupted 1/
There is no right /appropriate age to tell your adopted kid (s) that they are adopted.There is no amount of gentleness you can use to bring that piece of information to light and be perceived lightly. My point last night which i can stand to , is to tell them as soon(early) as 2/
possible, it can also be as early as 4-5 years. If the kid is mature enough and have the right amount of emotional intelligence to grasp that notion and how the life will change going forward.
Allow me to challenge your notion which states that kids should/must know much later 3/
Allow me to challenge your notion which states that kids should/must know much later 3/
in life, at 17-18years. Waiting that late in life, increases the chance for the kid to find out from other people. The resentment and tension in the family can be unrecoverable.The aftermath and behavior for adopted kids knowing that they are adopted always depends on how 4/
how much the adoptive parents love him/her. The trust and the bond that they have developed over the years can be broken or made stronger, depending on that maturity i stated earlier 5/
I am not going to pretend that i didnt sigh or rolled my eyes a little when you said that living in a boarding school can shield you for many many years from neighbors or other people informing the adopted kids that you’re adopted until 18. mdr

@IkuzoTChris you have a chance to raise important issues and engage/ have conversation around topics that are not oftentimes talked about, choosing a side based on what another audience member has chosen, sorry but it’s not a way to engage. If you chose a side, pick it 7/
not to entertain the mass, but because it is something you believe in. Again not policing here what you do with your free time ... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙏🏾" title="Gefaltete Hände (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Gefaltete Hände (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)"> there is also no wrong thing as using your lived experience as an opinion,everything is not Harvard research material 8/
LASTLY for crying out loud STFU let people speak , just listen for a moment, grasp and digest an opinion/ idea/ point of view, I can’t just sit here and Smh without saying anything to you Chris and out of respect kandi 9/
ariko we entertaining this in a colonizer language is tiring! Ka ngende mve hano!! 10/10
