Sara Easterly cuts through feel-good adoption narratives to expose how Utah’s system sidelines birth parents and leaves adoptees carrying lifelong “what-ifs.” Her op-ed is a clear call for reform and for centering the voices of those left out of the conversation.🥚

Being in community is so important to mental well-being. Understanding you are not the only 1 who has experienced certain things, & having others put words to things you're feeling or have felt, gives you validation & helps you feel less alone. Find your people! Engage!! Ask me how! 🥚 #Adoptee #MSW

Today is my mom's 94th birthday! She has been gone 2 years (as of July). These pics are from a video of her dancing on a beach during her last trip to Panamá, July 2022, weeks before her 91st birthday. She is missed, but she lived a long, full life! Happy birthday in Heaven, mama! 💜🎉💐
