None. She stayed at home until the end of the school year, when she'd have been 7 months. At that time she went to stay with relatives in Sydney, where I was born in late-August. Just in time to get back for Grade 11. I was no real inconvenience, it seems. #Adoption file's are the brown acid.

In my file, my father is "The Putative Father." The uncertainty is probably the point.

Fucking brutality:

“Foster mother informed” implies that my first caregivers were aware I would soon be leaving their home. This was standard but emotionally charged; a moment where a child’s attachment was redirected from one home to another through bureaucratic process.

Live through that. 🥚

My #Adoption file says: Remarks (handwritten at top): “He doesn’t know. She doesn’t know him long.” Meaning my bio father.

My bio mother may have been reluctant or unable to discuss the father in detail.

She told me he threatened to kidnap me when born.

She lied? Or them?

Adoption's lies. 🥚

My #Adoption file notes that my birth mother's home life was supportive - “happy relations in the home” - which directly contradicts the covering letter’s claim that she had little support."

They lied. It's right there. See it for yourself. Will you believe us now?

#Adoption is a life-long lie. 🥚
Dear Mr. Curry,

Thank you for your inquiry to the Adoption Disclosure Services Program.

Please find enclosed a copy of your adoption file. During the time of your adoption, it was evident through the documentation that your birth mother was young and struggling emotionally. She also had very little support. It is important to be mindful of these factors when reviewing your file information.

We will now be closing your file. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at 

With thanks,

Adoption Disclosure Services Program

Identity should not require allegiance to fiction. Name is the first instrument of truth we are given; it is also the first instrument taken from an #adoptee in the name of love. Micheal is my truth, Glenn is their lie. 🥚 #adoption

#Adoption is destruction.
Adoption is logistics sold as love.
Adoption is the conversion of human grief into an object others can own.

Let the record show you have tabled substantive affinity between Wham and Bach.

That's just whached! 😉

The late quartets’ sense of isolation may be partly Beethoven’s deafness and ageing, but beneath lies his childhood of neglect and abuse. These quartets are not only philosophical but also deeply biographical, bearing traces of wounds first inflicted decades before. #classicalmusic 🎻 🎶 #Beethoven

I love Ferdinand #Ries 1784–1838, German composer, friend, pupil and secretary of #Beethoven. He composed eight symphonies, a violin concerto, nine piano concertos, three operas, and numerous other works. Here are 4 releases I'm playing a lot.

#classicalmusic 🎻 🎶 🎧 🎹
Album art features pianist, Gianluca Faragli, sitting facing forward holding music scores. Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838) was born in Bonn and moved to Vienna in 1801, where his life became closely related to that of Ludwig van Beethoven (also a native of Bonn...). Ries studied piano with him, copied his scores and was the interpreter of several new works, notably the premiere of the Third Piano Concerto. Ries also wrote the first biography of Beethoven, an invaluable source of first-hand information. Ries' style inevitably is modeled on that of his master Beethoven, he was however strong enough to stand on his own. Ries also enjoyed a brilliant career as a virtuoso pianist. "Ries is rightly celebrated as one of the finest piano performers of the present day", a London reviewer declared. "His hand is powerful and his manner confident and often surprising. But it is his way of playing that makes him stand out from all the others, above all for his romantic wildness". This new recording presents original piano works by Ries: the substantial "Grande Sonata Fantasia "L'Infortunee", Op.26, a Fantasia on Schiller's poem Resignation, a Fantasia on Mozart's Nozze Di Figaro and an exciting Introduction and Rondo Zingaresco. Music of great pianistic invention and instrumental brilliance! Played by the young Italian pianist Gianluca Faragli on a modern instrument. Album art work of painting detail of a man looking directly forward framed by two women looking to the left. ‘The Grand Sextet is a splendidly heroic work, with its virtuoso pianism enthusiastically delivered here by Simon Crawford-Phillips. Its Andante has artless charm, being a set of variations on the Irish song ‘The Last Rose of Summer’ which Beethoven himself twice arranged, and it includes a short but mysterious cadenza which seems to come out of the blue, and go back into it. The Introduction and a Russian Dance for piano and cello (excellent Adrian Brendel) was aimed at the amateur market, but the intriguing G minor Sextet harks back to Mozart in its sunny conviviality. All these works should be in the mainstream chamber repertoire’ (BBC Music Magazine) Album art shows Trio Egmont facing forward. From left to right, pianist Viacheslav Shelepov, vilonist Luiza Labouriau and cellist Martin Knörzer. Ferdinand Ries occupies a remarkable place in the history of music. He was famously a friend and pupil of Beethoven and a virtuoso pianist. His extensive oeuvre opened up the musical aesthetics of Viennese Classicism to Romanticism. Completed in 1826, the Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 143 features two lively, fast movements surrounding a poetic Adagio, reminiscent of the era’s finest opera arias. Very different is the Grand Trio in F minor, WoO 86. It features four thematically interwoven movements that traverse emotions from despair to passion and eventual peace. Art work shows a portrait of the composer. The final volume in a new groundbreaking and much-praised complete symphony cycle of Ferdinand Ries’ (1784–1838) symphonies by the Tapiola Sinfonietta and conductor Janne Nisonen includes the composer’s two final statements in the symphony genre.

I'm a fan of the symphonies and the Hyperion set, as well.

"I wasn't born. I was chosen." Yes!! I just explained to members of the Nova Scotia legislature that I am a non-gestated person. I was born through gestation as Micheal Dean Carter. However, Glenn Curry is an arrangement. Glenn Curry never gestated. He isn't real. Not human. 🥚 #adoption

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents of my head

You know, there was a time when all socio-economic strata dressed in robes. Why did we take this away from ourselves?

Hi, #adoptee here. #Adoptees are about 2 to 4 times more likely to have ADHD than non-adopted peers. Research shows clear evidence that adoptees have higher rates of #ADHD. Adoptee ADHD research is easily found online, library, my life story, etc. 🥚

What is wrong with his face? It's juvenile and off-topic, I accept. But could any American doctors here explain what is happening, not to his head, but his face? It seems to contain an immense amount of stored pressure.
