Remember, us adoptees don't stay babies forever. We grow up. Every decision you make will come bite you in the ass later or affect the adoptee. See us as future adults you have to explain yourselves to.

sometimes i think about how Vincenzo had at least three different chances at a family —five depending on how you count – and he ended up losing all of them, and then i cry

Remember that you are your own best friend, and not only is it okay to love yourself, it is a human right. You have the right to love yourself ferociously. Your unique traits, your best qualities, your worst traits, your failures and accomplishments, these are the things that make you the person that you are, and that person is wonderful! You deserve all the kindness, grace, forgiveness and encouragement thst you have even given to somebody else. You do not need to earn it. Remember to take time today, every day, for a little bit of self care. Draw a bath, have a special snack, go for a sensory walk, do whatever brings a smile to your face and lifts some of that weight off your shoulders. #adoptionis #podcast #adoptiontrauma #selfcare #adopteetrauma #fostercare #birthmom #birthfather #adoptee #adopteestories #adoptionishard #adoptionistrauma #attachmenttrauma #grief #griefhealing #traumahealing #healingjourney #souljourney #hobbies #baking #crafts #nature #family https://www.instagram.com/p/CpEBssquFJF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

She Chose Me.

I’m here today because a woman whom I’ve never met made a choice and chose me.

She chose to think of me over her own body, over her own fears, over her own uncertainties, and over her own shame she believed society would bring. 

She thought of me, not fully formed, unborn, unable to speak for myself. She didn’t see me as a monster, a problem to be solved, a missed opportunity in life, a burden, or the end of her career. 

She prayed. She put her faith in what the Lord had planned. I’m here today because the Lord wanted me. My adoptive parents wanted me. My children are here today because a woman whom I’ve never met made a choice to think of me, my future, and my life outside of herself. 

She didn’t raise me. 

She never had a chance to know me. 

She wanted me to have the opportunity to be me.

Maybe some day I’ll have a chance to thank her, but in this moment I want to say that my story and many like mine have a place in the conversation our society is still having today. Adoption is a selfless act that deserves more attention and a bigger platform. Adoption is an option. 

The best choice we can make is to trust in the Lord’s plan, timing, and His ability to use all things for good. 

When we are in the middle of uncertainty, pain, fear, and struggle, we have a difficult time seeing the bigger picture. But there is a bigger picture, a bigger plan, healing, and a different perspective.

I’m here today because a woman whom I’ve never met made a choice and chose me.

I somehow got stuck on adoptee TikTok and it is so heartbreaking to see how many adopted children had abusive adoptive parents and hoped to reconnect with their birth parents only to find out their birth parents are genuinely terrible people or they were conceived through an act of rape/child abuse and their birthmom was forced to carry the pregnancy against her will and finds it too difficult to allow their child into their life. A traumatic wound that can never heal.

[samwolfcos]

Looking for the birthmom.. I miss taking pictures outside but mehhh german winter is here and its so cold and rainy. So heres a summer throwback

[sweetlittledaisy7]

Just a reminder.

1. Stop using adoptees in abortion debates.

2. Stop sharing the fact you've adopted and the child's story.

3. Adoption isn't the answer to abortion. Many kids are available for adoption and aren't adopted. We need more health care benefits not adoptions.

4. Adoptive parents shouldn't be seen as saviors. We shouldn't be made to feel grateful.

5. Stop it with the child to grow up to ne the next Lebron James, Steve Jobs, cure for cancer. All of these things require resources and a dedicated family. A child born into certain circumstances will have a harder time just getting a basic education. Also, Simone Biles shouldn't be made the face of adoption or foster care. Being adopted by your rich /parents grandparents doesn't represent all of us adoptees. It's rare in foster care. If her parents weren't rich, they wouldn't be able to afford gymnastics as, from what I was told, many foster parents aren't rich. So, using Simone as some kind of argument against abortion and for adoption is gross. Her family simply had the resources to afford such an expensive sport that has nothing to do with adoption. Plus she's with family not strangers. That's different. Plenty of kids currently in foster care many people don't care about.

6. The system is broken. Adoption doesn't mean better life. Some adoptees were abused or even rehomed aka disrupted from their adoptive homes. Many kids enter foster care and go from home to home until aging out. Some adoptees don't have good relationships with their adoptive parents. It's not a one size fits all.

7. Adoption is hard work for both sides. The adoptee and the adopted parent. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. I often feel I'm not good enough. I'm getting married soon and I have doubts of being a good wife and even if I'll be a good mom. Sometimes I don't like being adopted because it was something I didn't chose and it explains why I'm a control freak. Adoption leaves a huge hole in your heart and soul. My own birth mom didn't want me and that will never change. As I get older, it only gets harder.

[ghostofreach117]

So, in your..AU?(rewrite? Better then the Orginal in every way?)

How protective is Diluc to Kaeya? What is their relationship like?

Did you change anything about their backstory?

They are very similar to cannon, even their backstory(mainly because it is so vague) however there is a few differences

Their relationship is a bit worse (more complicated is a better way to describe it) than it currently is in cannon.

Diluc is A LOT more secretive regarding his “trip” and he lies a lot about it. (The parallels between him and his brother are very strong because I hate them😁😁😁)

Kaeya knows a LOT more about Dilucs mother than diluc does but he’s kinda withholding that information because of their rocky relationship and also because he doesn’t know how much his brother knows

Diluc knows a lot about kaeyas birthmom and doesn’t really say anything for the same reason

For the most part though, it’s just me fleshing out their story. Not a whole lot is presented directly so there isn’t much to change. Here’s a few points that i think I should mention

Diluc lied about “traveling the world”. He went straight to snezhnaya

During his second year. He was taken (by force) by the doctor to one of his many labs to be fitted with experimental prosthetics. (Aka dottore being dottore)

This was not intended to be torture or interrogation because dottore doesn’t really gaf about that. He thought diluc was an interesting subject and wanted to see if his body would reject the implants.

The rest of the fatui harbingers DID NOT know about this. (Except for one) Dottore kept it a secret because they had previously told him that they were cutting his funding but more importantly because dottore wanted a personal trump card should he ever have to face another harbinger. (Basically he has his suspicions about some of his colleagues. He thinks they might actually oppose the tsaritsa)

His experiments only work halfway. If the prosthetics aren’t rejected then they don’t serve their original purpose correctly. Eventually Diluc manages to escape thanks to a third party and fucks off to terrorize the Fatui for another year.

This is mostly where it connects back with cannon. The harbingers eventually lock in and find diluc, he’s saved by a different third party and he says hell nah I’m going back home

I wish I could think of something interesting for kaeya other than him prying information about dilucs mother from Alice but I think that clutters the story. Kaeya just waiting and making his moves in silence adds a really interesting piece of tension that really grows between him and his brother as he slowly figures out wtf happened while diluc was gone and also about both of their parents.

There’s more but I want to make comics about it so it’s kinda short n simple here.

Thank you anon for enabling me to yap

Starling’s birthmom was showing us pics of her new fiancés family and pointed out his mom and stepmom and I was immediately “oh that’s nice that they get along so well”

And she just looked at me, maybe trying not to laugh at me.

THEN I realized “OH THEY’RE LESBIANS” while she still, graciously, didn’t laugh at me.

Like

Brain. Why.

Welcome to Camp Half Blood Part 3

Part 2

Summary: Y/n is a newly discovered demigod who finds out she is destined to be as great as her older brother… Percy Jackson.

Warnings: None

By the time I finished, it was 6:30am and the sun was coming up. I knew I was screwed because I had no sleep and had to be up and getting ready now.

I ran to the cabin with my laptop, folder, and pencil and by the time I got there, Percy was up and about to leave the cabin to look for me. “Where were you? I was getting worried” Percy asked and I responded “I couldn’t sleep so I went out of the cabin so I wouldn’t disturb you guys.”

He continued “What were you doing?” “Just going on my laptop” i replied vaguely. “Then why do you have a folder and a pencil?” Percy asked curiously as I went to put down the pencil and said “nothing.”

Percy grabbed the folder out of my hands and opened it to see a picture of him. Becoming even more curious, Percy went through the rest of the pictures to see 2 pictures of everyone; old and new friends, and my birthmom.

“Oh my god Y/n! These are really good” he said astonishly. I put them all back in the folder and closed it and hid it from him and replied shyly “they aren’t that good. They’re traced. I could never actually draw something that good.”

“They ARE good Y/n! Now go get dressed. We have a quest to do” Percy said reassuringly and I replied “ok.” I grabbed my clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed.

When I came back out, Percy, Tyson, and Leo were ready to go but I still needed to pack a bag. I quickly packed a backpack with extra clothes and water bottles and anything I thought was important.

Once I was ready, the four of us went to go meet the others at breakfast to grab same food before heading off on the quest. “What took you guys so long? We have to leave before 7:30 or we’ll be behind schedule” Annabeth asked Percy pulling him intoa hug and gesturing for him to sit next to her.

“Packing took a little bit longer than I thought.” Percy paused and looked over at Y/n. “I was helping make sure Tyson had everything he would need” he responded, covering for me.

Annabeth noticed the glance between Percy and I and put 2-in-2 together. “Ok guys, if you haven’t ate yet, grab something quickly but we need to start heading to the ship” she announced slightly annoyed.

I quickly grabbed a bagel and cream cheese and wrapped it up in a paper towel and stuck it in my bag. Percy quickly ran off after Annabeth to apologize more for being late. I noticed Tyson was still sitting alone at the table eating so I helped him pack his food to go and we rejoined the others.

“Y/n, be real with me. Why were you guys late?” Julian asked out of earshot of the others. “I didn’t sleep last night so I went out to the dining hall and was tracing stuff off of my laptop and made it back to the cabin late” I replied.

“You really know how to make a first impression” he responded jokingly. “Yeah, yeah. Annabeth seems to like me alot” I stated sarcastically. “So, I see Jason has a crush on you. Do you like…” Julian started and I intervened “Julian, we’re not talking about this.”

“Oh, come on. Where’s the fun in that” he replied. “If you must know, he's cute yeah but I don’t like his vibe” I responded reluctantly. “Yeah, definitely not your type” he added.

“Do you have your eye on anyone else?” Julian continued. “And we’re done with this conversation” I replied while looking over at Leo. Julian caught my glance and said “Omg you like…” and I cut him off yelling “Shut up!”

“The ship should be right over there” Leo said while pointing, ending me and Julian’s conversation. Everyone started heading in the direction Leo pointed as Jason waited to join the back of the group with me.

“So Y/n, you got a boyfriend back home?” Jason asked me while smirking. “No, I’m not seeing anyone at the moment” I reply quickly, not interested in the conversation. “Do you have your eye on anyone here at camp?” he continued. I brushed him off once I noticed that we arrived at the ship.

“Here she is!” Leo said excitedly. We all took in the ship and its beauty. Leo showed us around the ship and we sailed off to Rome to meet Nico.

It would take about a week or two to get to Rome and find Nico. It was going to be a long day with nothing to do so I decided, since I am a child of Poseidon, why don’t I go into the ocean to see all the sealife.

So I started taking off my shoes and Percy looked at me and said “Y/n, what are you doing?” “Might as well go for a swim because there’s nothing better to do” I replied grinning.

“How will you keep up with the boat?” he asked worringly. “I will find a way” I reassured. And with that, I jumped off the boat and into the water.

Of course I didn’t think ahead and it started getting cold but I adjusted to the temperature after a while. I dived under the water and was looking at all the fish, dolphins, and whales, until a huge shark started coming towards me.

I started panicked and decided to swim up and the shark started catching up with me. Percy sensed that I was in trouble so he was about to jump in after me until Jason jumped out of the boat and started flying towards me.

By the time he reached me, the shark was only 5ft away. Jason grabbed me and flew straight up 15ft to make sure the shark couldn’t reach us and then flew us towards the boat.

When we reached the boat and Jason put me on it, Percy looked at me unamused and said “told you this wasn’t a good idea! You almost got eaten by a shark!” and I said “the key word is almost.”

Percy gave me a disappointed look and glared at Jason before heading inside the boat. “That was a close one. You were lucky I was here to save you” Jason said with a big grin. “Thank you for your help but I had it” I replied sharply, not in the mood for him.

Julian came up to me and ask “What was all that about?” “I don’t know. Percy seemed really disappointed in me.” I responded. “Hey, just give him some time. You’ll be ok” he reassured me.

He continued “Come find me if you need anything.” “I will, I just kinda want to be alone rn” I said sadly.

I just sat there in silence thinking about what happened earlier until the day started to end and everyone fell asleep but me again. For some reason I couldn’t sleep, so I decided to stay up and protect everyone while they slept.

I noticed that Leo was still up too, so I walked over to join him and said “you could sleep if you want. I can keep watch.” “I can’t sleep either and plus I have to captain the ship so I have to stay awake” he replied. I responded “ok, I’ll leave you to it” but Leo stopped me before I could leave.

“Hey, do you wanna talk about what happened earlier? I don’t know what’s going on between Jason and Percy but it’s pretty obvious something is up” Leo asked.

“Yeah I don’t know. Julian thinks it’s because Jason has a crush on me or something and Percy is acting like and overprotected older brother” I responded laughing it off.

“Yeah I picked up on that too. Do you like Jason?” Leo asked boldly. Taken back I replied “No, he’s not really my type. He gives off jock vibes and that’s not for me.”

“Oh ok” Leo replied secretly relived by my response. “What is your type?” he continued. “I usually like the more quiet and shy kind of guys because I guess I can relate with them. I don’t really know.” I reply shyly.

“Good to know. You should really get some sleep, I’ll keep watch” Leo insisted. “I’m not really tired. I could stay up and keep you company” I replied.

Leo nodded in agreement. And with that, we sat in silence for the rest of the night.

Author’s Note:

Hey guys! I hope you liked part 3 of Welcome to Camp Half Blood! What’s going on between Percy and Y/n? Will they move past their fight? Will it spark some tension between Annabeth and Y/n? Who will Y/n end up with? Let me know what you think!

Hey you, yeah you! Interested in my in progress Ninjago fic that I'm fucking obsessed with and want you guys to become obsessed with as well?

Ao3 Link: Battle Cry (8840 words) by cherrybombfangirl

Wanna read a Ninjago fanfic that spans everything from the pilots to Crystalized? It includes me fixing everything that needs fixing in my humble opinion as a writer myself (love triangles be gone), and my ninjago OC and the small OCs that come with her. 

Yeah you wanna read it!

This fic includes:

My Original Character Amy. She’s a human clone and a former assassin/child soldier, the Master of Space (forcefields and portals), falls in love with Lloyd and is very protective of him plus they have a cute aspec romance, and her arc is all about learning that her emotions aren’t a weakness to let people love her and that’s she’s not a broken monster.

The rainbow colored ninja being very queer as the universe intended: Gay Ace Cole, Trans and Pansexual Kai (plus Lavashipping galore!), Trans and Bisexual Nya (she and Kai swapped genders and names), Trans and Bisexual Jay, Genderfluid and Pan Zane, Asexual Demiromantic and Genderqueer He/They Lloyd, Genderqueer and PanAce Pixal and other characters are obviously queer as well.

Mental health issues galore that you can’t convince me these ninja don’t have at this point: everyone has PTSD, depression, anxiety, and lots of trauma!

Also autistic and adhd ninja because i said so: Autistic and ADHD Lloyd (he gets the autism from Garm and the ADHD from Misako), ADHD Kai (gets it from his mom), ADHD Jay (also from his mom), and Autistic Zane (his father built him that way because he is also autistic).

Addressing the Garmadon family’s generational trauma BECAUSE THE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL-

Lloyd’s relationship with his mom is complicated BUT after Lloyd has an understandable anger outburst Misako realizes “Fuck I messed up and hurt my kid” and spends a very long time trying to be better and fixing her and Lloyd’s relationship- and they do have a good relationship by the end! (because fuck doing nothing over actually working on fixing their mistakes and actually making up for it and people being complicated and imperfect people)

Love triangles are OUT, trauma triangles are IN

Jay actually gets character development in Skybound AND KEEPS SAID DEVELOPMENT, including Jay having to learn how to have a healthy relationship with Nya and stop bulldozing over people’s boundaries/having unhealthy obsessions with people (which is actually a result of trauma)

^^^ also actually exploring Jay’s birthmom in Prime Empire instead of introducing her then only mentioning her once several seasons later (and not even by name)

Also more sibling stuff in general over the romance because Jay and Nya’s relationship over Kai and Nya’s WHY?!?! (also Smith sibs adopting Lloyd, and all the ninja being even closer as a family obviously)

Consider the stupid love triangle with Wu Garm and Misako GONE. Don’t worry though, I give the brothers a much more believable and angsty reason to start fighting in Season 4 :))) (hint, it has to do with their repressed trauma from their dad’s not so great parenting)

Kai gets his own season with plenty of angst and character development as he deserves. The Green Ninja thing and Chen’s staff thing and being abandoned with a baby sister to take care of and putting all his worth on protecting others will ABSOLUTELY BE DISCUSSED

^^^ also Lavashipping will be included with Kai and Cole finally confronting their feelings for each other and going from on and off friends with benefits to the cutest boyfriends/husbands ever

Exploring the Dragon vs Oni and Creation vs Destruction concept more and using Lloyd and his family to illustrate that what the world really needs is a balance of both (also Lloyd and his dad keeping some Dragon/Oni features at the end!!!)

The ninja actually having to recover from when they very severely injured, or say, fucking possessed (why didn’t they even mention how Lloyd would’ve had to recover from that, the fuck)

Also Wu being confronted multiple times for his bullshit (which, suprise suprise, is a result of trauma), and he actually has to fix his mistakes and try to be better

Fixing everything wrong with Rebooted, Skybound, March of the Oni, Fire Chapter, Prime Empire, and Crystalized (I’m a writer myself, there are some things that drive me crazy and I NEED TO FIX THEM-)

More family time and mundane domestic stuff in between the ninja-ing- just the ninja spending time together and acting more like family/roommates in general

Prime Empire actually makes sense, Jay gets actual character development AND we actually explore his birthmom

Morro and Harumi are deeply traumatized BUT they let said trauma make them assholes and use it as an excuse to hurt people and they become even worse (Morro and Harumi stans BEGONE THIS IS NOT FOR YOU)

^^^ this will include Harumi developing an unhealthy obsession with Lloyd and it turning into creepy/predatory behavior, and there will be off screen sexual assault at some point, be wary of that

Exploring what life with Lloyd and his parents pre-banishement was like, complete with angsty-fluffy feels

Actually talking about addressing everyone’s trauma in general (and giving them more trauma because I’m that bitch :DDD )

There’s probably more I’m forgetting but that’s the gist of it for now
