Thanks for this. Funny how people fear our existence. I’ve known exactly how to reach my bio dad for over 3 years and have never reached out to him. We aren’t wanting to invade lives, we are trying to find our roots. Adoption has too many hurtful secrets. Time to change that.

Your piece was beautiful; these letters are rich and profound. I caution that one cannot unfind parents who may be deeply flawed and troubled so people should proceed prepared for the chance of disappointing and prosaic reunions and the burdens they will inherit as a result.

Stunning: People had many responses to last week’s essay on adoption birth records, and @nytopinion publishes twelve letters here, along with pictures from the adoption stories of some of them. nytimes.com/2021/04/02/opini…

In case you hadn't heard. Believing is the first step. Doing it is next. We Did It! I am so thankful for the incredible advocates I work with, who have taught me so much.
By a vote of 126-2 in the New York Assembly, New York becomes the tenth state to pass genuine equal rights legislation for adult adoptees. #YouGotItRight #YouMadeItEqual This is overwhelming.

Adopted people thrive in the community of other adopted people for so many reasons including the fact that we understand the crazy way our limbic brain talks to us and tries to take us down. #thefightisreal #communityheals #adopted #youdontlookadopted

Please everyone, if you ever get contacted by an #adoptee who thinks you might be a bio, always ALWAYS reply even if it’s to say no or you need time. Limbo is hell for us.
