🥚 Fantastic news! Virginia adoptees age 18+ can finally get their original birth certificates! Decades of adoptee rights activism plus truth-to-power storytelling made this victory possible. The only out-of-body experience I’ve ever had was when I first held my OBC in my hands. Life changing.

"But he ruled rather by force and fear, if they might avail; and those who perceived his shadow spreading over the world called him the Dark Lord and named him the Enemy; and he gathered under his government all the evil things of the days of Morgoth that remained on earth or beneath it..." Tolkien

"He brooked no freedom nor any rivalry, and he named himself Lord of the Earth. A mask he still could wear so that if he wished he might deceive the eyes of Men, seeming to them wise and fair. "

I have a theory that someone on staff makes these for him but adds messages warning of the evil for all the nerds out here who can see them. The red light saber was for the Star Wars fans. Now, Sauron holding hands with an Orc warns of the Dark Lord for the LOTR crew.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

He is so obscenely rich he could just pay for her husband's treatments and never miss that money, but instead he does this. This is what rich people do. Nothing of consequence. Because they don't care about other people.

Enlarge the picture and tell me I'm not the only one wondering why Sauron is hovering over Trump cosplaying Jesus. And is Sauron holding hands with an Orc? What is going on?!?
Close-up of flying creatures above Trump's head from the post he made of himself healing a man.  The flying  creature has two arms above its head, and possibly another arm at its side holding hands with a potential Orc. It also has a spiky head that makes it look like Sauron from Lord of the Rings.

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

The U.S. just lifted sanctions on Russian cargo ships and multiple high-profile narcotics figures. Dozens of names were removed from the Specially Designated Nationals list—including vessels tied to major Russian leasing operations and individuals linked to Mexican and Colombian drug networks.

#adoption is touted as child welfare but it’s actually disenfranchisement, right down to the susceptibility of being deported to a country you’ve never known, as punishment for other people’s negligence and malfeasance.

This is nice, but I also want an official apology and compensation, and I want the same for all the birth families. I also want restoration of my citizenship and the promise of #adoption being permanently shut down in Korea, as well action to support single mothers. 🥚

He's my senator, too, and I've called about a lot of things this year, but I haven't mentioned adoptees in particular. I'll call this week. The more they hear from us, the more normalized adoptee issues will become. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes! I picked up a biography of her from a table at Untangling Our Roots a couple of years back, and I couldn't remember her last name for anything. I do remember when she was competing, though. I was young back then.

It is common? One estimate is that in Minnesota alone, over 17,000 people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ negligence. americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...
americancommunitymedia.org
More than 10,000 Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Many Live in Minnesota.
For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Definitely not alone. The adoptee life is messy, and reunion (even when it's a good one) is super messy.

Laura @playingopossum.bsky.social · 15/03/2026
I keep bringing it up in conversations and in comment sections. I just drop it casually, like it's common knowledge, and people have been really surprised at the reality facing many adoptees right now. I hope that little shock to their system will help them to remember and share the info as well.

The video isn't available in my country. I remember reading a book a few years ago about an Olympic gymnast who was adopted who had a sister who was also a gymnast. I can't remember her name, but I think it was Dominique maybe.

I often worry about my mixed race nephew being raised by a father who is blatantly racist while playing the colorblind card. Adoption mixed with the religious right is doubly cruel.

Successful psychopaths are very good at imitating normal emotional responses, which they learn over decades of observing normal people. But when facing a novel situation, they have no such learning to rely on, and their jarringly cold responses reveal their hollow interiors.
