The Lost Daughters have spoken before, but we were often marginalized in the adoption conversation and our message, overlooked. A person gets weary with the repeated belittling.
How powerful words are.

#NationalAdoptionMonth has been hijacked by adoption agencies w/ goal to increase their own profits. Let's #flipthescript this year.

We are so much more complicated than just love for one mother or another. #FliptheScript #NationalAdoptionMonth http://t.co/p8o8szrXHJ

#flipthescript for #nationaladoptionmonth isn't about giving adoptees a voice. We have a voice. It demands we stop being silenced.

Ours began with a Google+ chat, late in the evening with Bryan Tucker recording. No one really realized what kind of magic a well-designed video presence would make.
What happened next?
