Angela Tucker's Adoptee Manifesto comes to Italy - Il manifesto di un*adottiv*

When we shared this awesome post, it was November. At last, the time has come: The Italian Manifesto for all Italian Adoptees is here!

In 2020 Angela Tucker, the leading Adoptee Voice in the USA launched her Adoptee Manifesto. 

During the year I've reached out and asked for her collaboration to realize the first AdoptCloud Project: a translated version of the #adopteemanifesto in Italian.

(Translation in Italian by Alessia Petrolito)

Open and agender, the manifests reunite adoptee's legitimate rights and desires at once. Beyond grouping, this is about building inner peace and a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves.

As adoptees, we can gain a voice and a community. Angela's work does it for the USA, and I hope that this will help more & more Italian adoptees to gain awareness - we are not just a story, our story, but we are who we are!

I'm deeply grateful to Angela for her mind and patience.

The Italian manifest is available for purchase thanks to  Manuel Antonio Bragonzi, President of ANFAD - Associazione Nazionale Figli Adottivi and producer of LoveAdoption Tv, another valuable member of the Cloud. I'm thankful to Manuel for believing in the project and following me in this adventure!

To order and purchase the Italian version of the Adoptee Manifesto, please see here/or/here.

The Italian Case: Breaking the Pyramid Down

Image
from Pxhere  ( https://bit.ly/2LX9H0r ) In my previous piece, ( Adoption Communities and the Social Media Pyramid ), I was telling you about  Virtual Adoption Communities  and their formation, constitution and position, in the social media pyramid established by Prof. Randy Hlavac [1].  I n the following paragraphs, we are going to look at t he whole  IAC  -  Italian Adoption Community -  the   " Italian Case"  - based on my personal experience.    As in Hlavac's, the IAC's social media pyramid has 6 levels  that can be analysed through function, population and focus .  Among the IAC , Facebook is the most popular medium; but it's not the only one. In  my interpretation, here is the breakdown by level: the first level belongs to " Social Networks"  / Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Quora and  (rarely) Twitter the second level consists of " News Aggregators"  / National Newspap...

Adoptees: 3 Ways to Fight Isolation During Covid Lockdown!

Image
An adoptee knows what loneliness means. Besides, it's challenging to be left home alone with a humongous amount of time to think about life. If you are practising it (and you should!); COVID-19 self-isolation gives you that kind of mindset since we are all obliged to stay home with no other human contact or stuck with your roomy/partner/family.  I am an adoptee in isolation (in a 20mq place with a very chatting boyfriend and a lovely sometimes extremely annoying cat) and a participant to the Northwestern University | Social Media Marketing Specialization on Coursera. I decided to share three simple actions to put in use for this unforeseen - a more then a month in - situation based on two exciting pieces I’ve read on the subject. You might all want to listen to CNN podcast by Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta in conversation with Scott Kelly - US former astronaut who spent 340 days living in a Space Station - advising on how to live confined in limited ...
