WOW @WIRED. This entire article is a dangerous, hyperbolic gishgallop of inaccuracies and stereotypes adoption scholars have labored decades to correct. And are easily disproven. I’m rarely speechless. But I don’t even know where to begin. #adoption #antiadoption #wired
Most pressing is mid-defining the Adoptee Rights Movement and calling it the “anti-adoption movement.” There *is* no anti-adoption movement in the U.S. A few anonymous and individual accounts do not comprise a movement and are certainly not the Adoptee Rights Movement. @WIRED
#AdopteeRights is about 1) increasing post-adoption support; 2) establishing equity for dependent children; 3) modernizing adoption to current best practices; 4) rectifying injustices that hurt adopted people and their families. Does your author have an issue with that? @WIRED
My birthmom and I testified in support of #HB2725 yesterday in the Public Health Committee hearing. Although our bill isn’t about reunion, it was a testament to the fact that anonymity in adoption is a myth. #AdopteeRights @txadoptees @gina_calanni 
I’m an adult. I made the decision to reach out to my birth mom and she made the decision to reciprocate. The state should treat all adult citizens equally regardless of their connection to adoption. This might become a long thread...
Additionally, if my birth mom chose not to be in contact with me, why would my OBC have anything to do with that? We are adults and adoptees aren’t going to force contact with a birth parent or any other person for that matter.
