Folks, this is me being transparent now. I should probably add context to this post.
I am a traumatized birth mother who was forced by her parents and the Catholic Church to surrender her newborn son for adoption. I was emotionally abused, lied to and brainwashed into believing the best place for him was with another mother.
I DESPISE THE ADOPTION PROCESS. NOBODY is owed someone else’s baby.
I will DIE defending this hill. FUCK NEWBORN ADOPTION. Deal with YOUR infertility some OTHER way.
And to be clear, I am talking about the adoption industry and it’s abusive, barbaric practice of preying upon young pregnant women during one of the most stressful times in her life. They know all the psyops maneuvers to get us to think the BEST place for a child is with a total stranger’s family.
THIS IS UTTER BULLSHIT. The BEST place is with the natural parents. And the BEST thing to do is to HELP mom keep her baby. HELP HER be her best for the baby.
@Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty Thank you for sharing. 🖤
@mistressticia thank you for listening without judgment. I know this is a hot topic and will probably cost me some follows. I don’t care.
This topic has become so triggering for me ever since R vW was overturned. I’m fucking sick of people saying “well there is always adoption!” as if it’s as simple as going to the animal shelter. NO. I have lifelong CPTSD. I have traumatic memory loss. I have no closure. I have lifelong grief.
Because of my part in the abusive process.
@Call_Me_Peppermint_Petty Our Generation ,especially, is still processing all of our trauma/s. I'm here to assist/support in the healing process even if it's just letting you know that you are loved and appreciated!!!🖤 Also, you were the one being abused. Don't be so hard on yourself. You did what the adults in your life at the time told you what was best. You did what you thought was best at the time and I do not hold that against you. No one else should either.
