Boots Chantilly<p>Just for fun, here&#39;s my father (l) &amp; me (r), side by side. He was about 30 in his pic, I was about 15 in mine. Pretty wild, no?</p><p>(A surfboard had broken my nose a cpl of wks b4 this pic was taken, but normally, we had/have the same nose.) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoption" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoption</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteevoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteevoices</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteerights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteerights</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoptoverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptoverse</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DNAmatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DNAmatters</span></a></p>
Boots Chantilly<p>&quot;Adoption also isn&#39;t driven by children w/o families; it&#39;s driven by the desires &amp; demands of unrelated strangers to add those children to their own families. The orphan discourse (&amp; the resulting confusion about the actual numbers of orphans worldwide) reflects market demand for children, not children&#39;s actual need for care.&quot; Another Must Read about <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoption" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoption</span></a> by an <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopted" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopted</span></a> person. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteevoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteevoices</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteesonadoption" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteesonadoption</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteerights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteerights</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoptoverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptoverse</span></a> <a href="https://adoptionpolitics.substack.com/p/orphans-or-orphans-whats-the-problem" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">adoptionpolitics.substack.com/</span><span class="invisible">p/orphans-or-orphans-whats-the-problem</span></a></p>
Boots Chantilly<p>&quot;No intoning of words or signing of papers or, indeed, a lifetime of attentive &amp; loving care, has the power to make or unmake kinship relations.&quot; This is a fundamental truth. &amp; the linked piece is an absolute Must Read. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoption" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoption</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteevoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteevoices</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteerights" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteerights</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoptoverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptoverse</span></a> <a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/corsent/p/unattached?utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/corsent/</span><span class="invisible">p/unattached?utm_campaign=post&amp;utm_medium=web</span></a></p>

Boots Chantilly<p>(As an adoptee who&#39;d grown up in a closed adoption--w/ ppl whom I was NOTHING like, not physically or in any other way--being told I resembled someone was a very weird thing. I lived my entire life never looking like ANYONE--until I finally reunited w/ my mother in 2011. That message--you look like so-&amp;-so!--never had any meaning for me. It was such an utter non-sequitur. I don&#39;t think non-adopted ppl get it, but that&#39;s a very weird, discombobulating way to live.) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteevoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteevoices</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoptoverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptoverse</span></a></p>
Boots Chantilly<p>When I was younger, old people used to tell me I looked like the actress/director, Ida Lupino, all the time. I was never able to see it. But now that I&#39;m an old person, I kinda do. I think it&#39;s the mouth (&amp; long philtrum). That&#39;s me on the left (at around age 38-39) &amp; the late Ms. Lupino on the right. Do you see it or no? &amp; who do ppl tell you you look like? Anyone? <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adopteevoices" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adopteevoices</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/adoptoverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>adoptoverse</span></a></p>
Boots Chantilly<p>I am a pro-choice adoptee. It hurts my heart knowing my mother was denied her most basic human right to choose. Forcing ppl to reproduce against their will is unethical &amp; immoral. IMO, it&#39;s downright twisted.
