@adoptee_thoughts: There’s a reason why I’m a star reviewed author and adoption expert, recognized nationally. There’s a reason why I’m consistently interviewed on news channels and hired by adoption agencies. And it’s because I’m not only an adoptee with lived experience, but have done the work and research to help elevate the NUANCES of adoption and advocate for children and families. Meanwhile yall keep yapping about reality tv and act like you’re virtuous and protecting a child you harm consistently by going after her birth parents. #adoption #fyp #teenmom #realitytv #childadvocacy Anyway to help support actual adoptees check out the Adoption Changemaker Conference coming up where @Catelynn and @Tyler Baltierra are the evening keynote speakers sharing about their lived experience as birth parents.

Tyler Baltierra :
Melissa, you are the epitome of empathy, critical thinking, & compassion. Not to mention your true desire for truth & justice. I appreciate you more than you know! You’re one of the few that were brave enough to tackle this head on in a way that balanced accountability without cruelty & a curiosity for a deeper understanding. While also implementing education about adoption at the same time. You never deserved any of the hate you received & I’m so sorry! But your light shines brighter because you never allowed that hate to silence your mission/goal. I have the utmost respect for you! 👏🙏🙌

Isn’t it wild how us just going on that podcast BEFORE all this somehow magically made all of us condone everything and yet nobody asked us if we did they just assumed 🤷🏽‍♀

They were both 18 when they signed the adoption paperwork after they fought April in court to be allowed to do the adoption

The catfish probably had “information about their bio child they shouldn’t have” because Cate and Tyler are willing to blab to anyone and everyone and share all info they’ve obtained, and plant clues that allow people to find more. Each time there was a leak, Tyler brought more attention to it by posting about it, and to this day, they’re still talking about C & her family on their podcast.

Love you and your content Melissa but nothing has been proven. It has neither been proved to be an adult nor a minor. Those creators just want to keep their fake source Nessa the st4lk3r, that’s why they’re changing the narrative now. Don’t fall for their games. And again, thank you for all you do for the adoptee community ❤
