Things that should never be said or done in reference to adoption;

Gotcha day!

Paper pregnant!

Praying for someone to relinquish their child.

Asserting yourself (adoptive parent) as being the only ’real’ parent.

Denial of issues of race in adoption.

Discounting adult adoptee voices.

Tones of entitlement.

Telling an adoptee that they are lucky.

Asking an adoptive parent intrusive questions in front of their child.

Making derisive comments about an adoptee’s country of birth in front of said child.

Little fake ultrasounds with the country from which you are adopting inside.

Mara ~ there’s more, but just so ya know :)
