My niece is at the age where she’s obsessed with the fact that I’m gay. she’ll just randomly mention it when we talk on FaceTime. Happy to report that today she’s decided she is also gay, but only sometimes

I was theorizing about this over on threads but to summarize I think there is a direct link toward the demand for readily adoptable children and the immigration crisis. We are seeing parents deported and families torn apart so other families can be created, imo.

I was theorizing about this exact possibility a few weeks ago

Bluesky should not get into this idea that blocking you is a problem. You can be blocked for any reason. You can be blocked because your pfp is annoying. You can be blocked because your vibe sucks.

If you take this personally I think that’s also a reason you can be blocked.

Still applying for jobs all the time but not having any luck. Didn’t want to ask for help this way again, but i really do need it to stay housed and out of the cold at the moment.

Anything helps. Thank you♥️

It was always white couples and they always said it because of stereotypes about Black children.

because I was an abused kid I always took pride in it then but I wish I could have said “the secret is she beats us!”

One thing I experienced as a Black adoptee that I didn’t realize was racially motivated until I was an adult was when my family would go out, white couples, usually older, would approach my mom and say “wow, they are so WELL BEHAVED! What’s your secret?“

There’s likely a racial bend to these cases but i didn’t see any data on that in this article

hey guys you want to know what is often used as justification for taking someone’s kids and putting them into the foster care/adoption system? things like this are why we push back so hard against the “adoptees all have abusive drug addict parents” myth. 🥚
