Adoptee out of the fog. Cat Lover, Londoner, bundle of anxiety.

So far... it seems neither of my two mothers, not the one in whose house I grew up, nor the one who gave birth to me, can be bothered to even ask how I am... #beingadoptedmeans


Time for change!

* Adoption economics * 80% of services for adopted people in the UK have been cut. We have to pay £££ of own money to get support. If you believe #adoptees should have free/subsidised support please RT so I can find funding to get amazing projects off the ground.



They’ve got my file! They’ve got my file! They’ve got my file.... roll on 3pm intermediary call...


Watching #GraysonPerry's amazing #RitesofPassage about Birth (tinyurl.com/yxghhfdq), in Bali, babies are held continuously for the first 105 days by family, friends, loved ones as they aren't considered ready to be fully part of the Human World...and yet... #Adoption


You're Awesome xxx

In response to the comments coming in from my tweet about family tree projects at school & facilitating contact with first families (a thread)



Pondering where the less tangible bits of me come from...planning on reading Robert Plomin's Blueprint, but is there any research or reading on #Adoptees inherently having very different 'values' from A-family and other obvious influences from an extremely young age? I know I do!
