They are twins- they were born during the 1 child policy, and their birth mother (we refer to their birth parents as their angels) couldn’t bear to separate them, so she left them where somebody would see them and put them up for adoption.

You're totally right about that, at least in some states (might vary I'm not sure). I watched a few videos from a foster mother who specfically did not film, say the names of, or give info about her foster children.

Once the foster children went throught the entire legal adoption process and it was finalized only then were the children introduced / names, etc.

[@m.j.mbrooks1859]

There are different levels of the openness of adoption too. It depends on the agency. My older brother’s birth mother was not allowed to contact him before he was 18. I think there was an obligation on our parents part to give her a photo update of what he looked like every couple of years, but she herself could not email him or call him on the phone, or post pictures of him online (although social media wasn’t hardly around back then) until he was 18. Our parents are very private people who have no social media’s to this day anyways, so it’s a non issue for them, but I think in part it has to do with what the openness of that adoption are. My adoption was international. But my birth mother chose not to leave her name, photo, letter, nothing. All I know is that she was 16, and that I was born three months early, and that there was a lot of blood. Nothing more, nothing less.

I was adopted when I was almost two from Guatemala and was at the developmental stage of a six month old. Like the immense physical and emotional challenges that me and my family underwent, not to mention extensive physical and psychological therapy that I underwent for years post adoption to catch up to other children was beyond challenging. Like I would never want anyone to film the times where I would scream incessantly for hours on end if I was left alone in a room for half a second. My dad, no exaggeration, had to sleep on the floor next to my crib every night for over a year, holding my hand through the bars so that the rest of the household could get some sleep. And I have no memories of anything before adoption. Like there are pictures of me at the orphanage. But I don’t remember anything. I can’t even imagine the struggles a six year old that can remember things before adoption would go through to adjust to a completely new family. Or that there are people out there that would exploit those struggles for clout. It’s repulsive.

But the foster agency told them no because they can't guarantee they'd only get babies which they then made another angry video about, accusing the agency of lying to them

[@thatonedog819]

Dogs don't bite "out of the blue" BTW - in case anyone was wondering. Also, Thailand has the right idea. Many places in the US have the same law/policy regarding foster children, which is what this kid would basically be coming from Thailand since the adoption isn't fully finalized until that year is up. So I don't know why this is such a big idea.

[@corvideer1738]

The year-long social media delay was policy for my little adopted brother, and my parents literally had no issue outside of having to remind his daycare provider not to post a picture of him. Once the year period was over, we had a celebration and took some nice photos with him and made a social media announcement. They could take as many pics and vids as they want, just not post them on social media. It's literally that easy

[@lemonblesssed3753]

It’s soooo easy to abide by unless you’re literally trying to exploit them. I’m a foster and adoptive mom and I cannot post them while in care but I rarely post them after adoption either because I feel like it’s not right to without their consent.

[@averyeml]

I’m assuming this is why so many people I know who foster and adopt or the charities I follow on Facebook about fostering and adopting cover the children’s faces in 90% of the pictures. That plus the whole “we’re fostering a kid who may have family that shouldn’t know where they are” kind of thing. It isn’t hard. Even if they did post pictures of something in the house where the kid happens to be in the background, they just stick an emoji over the kid or something.
