"it's important to remember that there's not a single adoption that isn't complex"
i've been listening to this podcast called adoptees on which is basically interviews with adoptees talking about their experiences of adoption. it's been really nice but also super emotional to listen to, especially having struggled a lot lately to find stuff from our perspective rather than from birth or adoptive parents. i listened to an episode today with angela tucker and she said a lot of stuff that really resonated with me despite the differences in our situations (ig there is also a netflix doc about her finding her bio mom which i havent seen bc i dont have netflix anymore) and the quote above really struck me, i think it's one of the reasons it so hard for me to put to words because it IS complex and trying to make sense of it myself is hard enough, and even trying to lay the basics out for others is, exhausting.
anyway, she has a book that just came out that's called "you should be grateful" which im obsessed with and she mentioned hopes for it to break past the adoption circles so i'm sure i'll cry about it here later, but consider this a pre rec
