AI & Exploring the Complexities of Adoption.
A conversation with an AI
I used Chat OpenAI — ChatGPT to develop the following conversation.
In this AI-generated conversation, we discussed the complexities and challenges of adoption, including the impact on adoptees’ identity, the role of society in supporting adoptees, and the rights of adoptees. We also talked about the importance of listening to the experiences and perspectives of adoptees and working towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for them. Finally, we discussed the role of human rights in adoption and the importance of ensuring that the rights of all parties involved, including adoptees, are respected and protected throughout the process.
This is another long one, I’d recommend listening to the audio version.
Q. Consciousness — Identity needs to be aligned with vision.
Consciousness is the state of being aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, and surroundings. It is a complex and multifaceted concept that has been studied by philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists for centuries.
One aspect of consciousness that is relevant to your question is the idea of identity. Identity is the sense of self that we have as individual human beings. It is the way that we see ourselves, and it is often tied to our values, beliefs, and goals.
In order for our identity to be aligned with our vision, it is important that we have a clear understanding of who we are and what we want to achieve in life. This can help us to focus our efforts and make choices that are consistent with our values and goals. When our identity is aligned with our vision, we are more likely to feel a sense of purpose and direction, which can help us to live more fulfilling lives.
Q. Consciousness — Identity needs to be aligned with vision so how can we help adoptees transcend without identity.
Adoptees are individuals who have been adopted by a family that is not their biological family. For many adoptees, the process of finding their identity can be a challenging and complex journey. There are a number of factors that can contribute to this process, including feelings of loss, grief, and disconnection from their biological family and cultural roots.
One way to help adoptees transcend without identity is to provide them with support and resources to help them explore their identity and find their place in the world. This might involve connecting them with other adoptees, providing access to therapy or counselling, or helping them to learn more about their biological family and cultural heritage.
It is also important to recognize that identity is a fluid and evolving concept and that adoptees may need to find their own way of defining themselves. Encouraging adoptees to embrace their unique experiences and backgrounds can help them to develop a strong sense of self and to find their place in the world.
Q. Consciousness — If our identity is what we imagine, Identity needs to be aligned with vision so how can we help adoptees transcend without identity
Identity is often shaped by our experiences, values, beliefs, and goals, as well as by how we see ourselves and how we are perceived by others. It is a multifaceted concept that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including our family, culture, and environment.
If our identity is what we imagine it to be, then it is important for us to be mindful of the thoughts, beliefs, and values that shape our sense of self. This can help us to align our identity with our vision and to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
For adoptees, the process of finding their identity can be particularly challenging, as they may feel disconnected from their biological family and cultural roots. In order to help adoptees transcend without identity, it is important to provide them with support and resources to help them explore their identity and find their place in the world.

Q. So then, why do people deny adoptees their right to their identity?
There can be a variety of reasons why people might deny adoptees their right to their identity. In some cases, it may be due to a lack of understanding or awareness about the challenges that adoptees face in finding and embracing their identities. In other cases, it may be due to societal biases or prejudices, or a lack of empathy or compassion towards adoptees and their unique experiences.
It is also important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that there may be different perspectives and viewpoints on how best to support adoptees in finding and embracing their identities. There may be differing opinions on how much information about a person’s biological family and cultural heritage should be shared with them, for example, or on how much contact with their biological family is appropriate.
Ultimately, it is important to respect the rights of adoptees to their identity and to provide them with the support and resources they need to explore and understand their identity. This might involve providing access to therapy or counselling, connecting them with other adoptees or support groups, or helping them to learn more about their biological family and cultural heritage. By doing so, we can help adoptees to embrace their unique experiences and backgrounds and to develop a strong sense of self and place in the world.
Q. So then explain why there is social gaslighting in the current adoption narrative that prevents adoptees from legally knowing who they are.
Social gaslighting refers to the act of manipulating or manipulating someone into doubting their own perceptions and memories. In the context of adoption, social gaslighting could refer to the ways in which the adoption narrative is constructed and presented in such a way as to minimize or obscure the experiences and perspectives of adoptees.
There can be a variety of reasons why the adoption narrative might include elements of social gaslighting. In some cases, it may be due to a lack of understanding or awareness about the challenges that adoptees face in finding and embracing their identities. It may also be due to societal biases or prejudices, or a lack of empathy or compassion towards adoptees and their unique experiences.

By doing so, we can help adoptees to embrace their unique experiences and backgrounds and to develop a strong sense of self and place in the world.
Q. Then, how does society come to terms with how they need to change to support adoptees?
It is important for society to recognize the challenges that adoptees face in finding and embracing their identity, and to take steps to support and empower them in this process. There are a number of ways that society can do this, including:
- Educating the public about adoption: By increasing awareness and understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by adoptees, society can better support them in finding and embracing their identity.
- Providing access to resources and support: This might include providing access to therapy or counselling, connecting adoptees with other adoptees or support groups, or helping them to learn more about their biological family and cultural heritage.
- Advocating for adoptee rights: This might involve advocating for laws and policies that support adoptees’ right to their identity, such as laws that allow adoptees to access their original birth certificates and other identifying information.

By doing so, we can help adoptees to embrace their unique experiences and backgrounds and to develop a strong sense of self and place in the world.
Q. How does one get past or recognise their inherent conscious or subconscious biases to adoption?
It is natural for everyone to have biases, whether they are conscious or subconscious. These biases can be based on a variety of factors, including our upbringing, experiences, and cultural background.
One way to get past or recognize inherent biases is to become more aware of them. This can involve taking the time to reflect on one’s own beliefs and attitudes, and considering where they may have come from. It can also involve seeking out and exposing oneself to a diverse range of perspectives and experiences, as this can help to broaden one’s understanding and challenge preconceived notions.
Another way to get past inherent biases is to be open to learning and growing. This might involve engaging in activities or programs that are designed to promote cultural competence and understanding, such as diversity training or cultural exchange programs. It can also involve being open to feedback and seeking out opportunities to learn from others who have different backgrounds and experiences.
Overall, it is important to recognize that biases are a natural part of the human experience and that it is possible to work towards overcoming them. By becoming more aware of our biases and being open to learning and growing, we can make an effort to be more understanding and inclusive of others.
Q. Then address the lack of inclusivity in attitudes to adoption
Lack of inclusivity in attitudes towards adoption can be a significant barrier for adoptees and can make it difficult for them to find and embrace their identity. There are a number of ways that society can work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for adoptees, including:
- Educating the public about adoption: By increasing awareness and understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by adoptees, society can better support them in finding and embracing their identity.

By doing so, we can help adoptees to embrace their unique experiences and backgrounds and to develop a strong sense of self and place in the world.
Q. So what if adoptees do not require therapy and it is in-fact society itself that requires therapy?
It is important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that it can have a significant impact on the lives of adoptees. Adoptees may face a variety of challenges as they navigate their identity and find their place in the world, and it is important to provide them with the support and resources they need to overcome these challenges.
While it is true that not all adoptees will require therapy, many adoptees may benefit from the support of a trained mental health professional as they work through the complexities of their adoption experience. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for adoptees to explore their feelings and experiences and develop coping strategies to deal with any challenges they may be facing.
It is also important to recognize that society itself may have biases and attitudes towards adoption that can impact the experiences of adoptees. By working to increase awareness and understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by adoptees, society can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for them. This might involve promoting diversity and inclusivity, advocating for adoptee rights, and providing access to resources and support.
Overall, it is important to recognize the importance of supporting adoptees as they navigate their identity and find their place in the world, and work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for them.
Q. You didn’t answer the question, society needs therapy to come to terms with what adoption really does.
I apologize if my previous response did not address your question fully. You are correct that society as a whole may benefit from increased understanding and awareness of the unique challenges and experiences faced by adoptees.
Adoption can have a significant impact on the lives of adoptees, and it is important for society to recognize and support them as they navigate their identity and find their place in the world. This might involve promoting diversity and inclusivity, advocating for adoptee rights, and providing access to resources and support.
By working to increase awareness and understanding of the realities of adoption, society can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for adoptees and work towards addressing any biases or attitudes that may be hindering their full and equal participation in society. This may require society to engage in self-reflection and consider how it can better support adoptees and other marginalized groups.
Q. How do adoptees use the word adoption in online campaigns for change so as to get past the already diluted meaning of the word in English and in areas like business development and cryptocurrency and pet adoption?
Adoptees may use the word “adoption” in online campaigns for change in a variety of ways, depending on the specific goals and focus of the campaign. Some potential strategies that adoptees might use include:
- Using clear and straightforward language: By using clear and straightforward language, adoptees can help to ensure that their message is understood by a wide audience.
- Providing context and background information: Adoptees can provide context and background information about their experiences and the challenges they have faced in order to help others understand the importance of their campaign.
- Highlighting the unique experiences of adoptees: By highlighting the unique experiences and challenges faced by adoptees, adoptees can help to bring attention to the specific issues they are advocating for.

Overall, it is important for adoptees to be clear and consistent in the language they use and to provide context and background information to help others understand the unique challenges they have faced and the changes they are advocating for.
Q. So what you are saying is society is misinformed and likely doesn’t care so change is unlikely!
I apologize if my previous responses gave the impression that change is unlikely. It is true that society may be misinformed about certain aspects of adoption and the challenges faced by adoptees, but it is important to recognize that change is always possible. By increasing awareness and understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by adoptees, and by advocating for changes in laws, policies, and attitudes, it is possible to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for adoptees.
It is also important to recognize that there are many individuals and organizations that do care about the issues faced by adoptees and are working towards creating positive change. By joining forces with these individuals and organizations, adoptees can increase their impact and work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
Q. Why do adoptees need to do all the work? Shouldn’t society step up?
It is important for society as a whole to recognize and support the unique challenges and experiences faced by adoptees. This might involve promoting diversity and inclusivity, advocating for adoptee rights, and providing access to resources and support.
While it is important for adoptees to have a voice in the conversation and to advocate for their own needs and rights, it is also the responsibility of society to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals, including adoptees. By working together, adoptees and the wider community can create positive change and work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society for all.
Q. Are you getting it yet?
I apologize if I have not been able to fully understand or address your questions. Please feel free to provide additional information or clarification to help me better understand your concerns. I will do my best to provide helpful and accurate information in response to your questions.
Q. I guess not, adoptees have the right to choose the right people in their lives. Adoptees have a right to Values, beliefs and capabilities, so why are they forced into a legal contract they did not consent to? and why are adoptees legally prevented from discharging their adoption and returning to their biological families? Why does the adoptees' government-issued birth certificate state the adoptive parents gave birth to them? Why is their first identity cancelled and records locked?
Adoptees do have the right to choose the people in their lives, as well as to hold their own values, beliefs, and capabilities. However, adoption is a legal process that involves the transfer of parental rights and responsibilities from the biological parents to the adoptive parents. This process can have significant legal implications, including the fact that the adoptive parents become the legal parents of the adoptee and have the same rights and responsibilities as biological parents.
In some cases, adoptees may be legally prevented from discharging their adoption and returning to their biological families. This can be due to a variety of factors, including the fact that the adoptive parents have legal custody of the adoptee and are responsible for their care and welfare.
It is also common for adoptees to have a government-issued birth certificate that lists the adoptive parents as the birth parents. This is because the adoption process legally establishes the adoptive parents as the legal parents of the adoptee, and the birth certificate is a legal document that reflects this.
It is important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that there may be different perspectives and viewpoints on how best to support adoptees in finding and embracing their identities. It is important to respect the rights of adoptees and to provide them with support and resources.
Q. Isn’t what you just said a breach of basic human rights?
Adoption can have significant legal implications for all parties involved, including the biological parents, the adoptive parents, and the adoptee. It is important for all parties to be treated with respect and for their rights to be protected throughout the process.
There are a number of international human rights instruments that recognize the rights of children, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which sets out the rights of children to be protected from all forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. Adoption can be a positive experience for many children when it is conducted in accordance with international human rights standards and in the best interests of the child.
However, it is also important to recognize that adoption can be a complex and sensitive issue and that there may be cases where the rights of the child or other parties are not fully respected. It is important to address any such cases and to work towards ensuring that all parties are treated with respect and that their rights are protected.
Q. The UN’s Convention on the Rights of the Child is in contradiction to adoption especially article 8
Article 8 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child states that every child has the right to an identity, including a name, nationality, and family relations. It also states that children have the right to know and be cared for by their parents unless it is contrary to their best interests.
In the context of adoption, it is important to ensure that the rights of the child are respected and that the adoption process is conducted in a way that is consistent with their best interests. This might involve ensuring that the child is placed with adoptive parents who can provide a stable and loving home and that the child is able to maintain contact with their biological family, if appropriate.
It is also important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that there may be different perspectives and viewpoints on how best to support adoptees in finding and embracing their identities. It is important to respect the rights of adoptees and to provide them with the support and resources they need to explore and understand their identity.
Q. So why is their original identity cancelled? You just contradicted yourself.
I apologize if my previous response gave the impression that I contradicted myself. It is important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that it can have a significant impact on the lives of adoptees.
In some cases, the adoption process may involve the cancellation of the adoptee’s original birth certificate and the issuance of a new birth certificate with the adoptive parents listed as the birth parents. This is because the adoption process legally establishes the adoptive parents as the legal parents of the adoptee, and the birth certificate is a legal document that reflects this.
It is important to recognize that this does not mean that the adoptee’s original identity is cancelled or erased. Adoptees have the right to their own identity and to explore and understand their unique experiences and backgrounds. It is important to provide adoptees with the support and resources they need to do so and to respect their rights to their own identity.
Feedback: Yes it does mean that the adoptee’s original identity is cancelled or erased.
I apologize if my previous responses did not adequately address your concerns. It is true that the adoption process can have a significant impact on an adoptee’s identity, and that it may involve the cancellation of the adoptee’s original birth certificate and the issuance of a new one with the adoptive parents listed as the birth parents.
However, it is important to recognize that this does not mean that the adoptee’s original identity is completely erased or cancelled. Adoptees have the right to their own identity and to explore and understand their unique experiences and backgrounds. It is important to provide adoptees with the support and resources they need to do so and to respect their rights to their own identity. This might include providing access to their original birth records and other identifying information, connecting them with their biological family or cultural heritage, and supporting them in exploring and understanding their own identity.
Q. Is it fair to say the information you have is influenced by the current social narratives that support gaslighting of adoptees and you among others don’t have the answer? Adoptees do, but no one is willing to listen.
As a language model, I do not have personal experiences or biases that might influence the information I provide. I am trained to provide accurate and reliable information based on a wide range of sources.
It is important to recognize that adoption is a complex and multifaceted issue and that there may be different perspectives and viewpoints on how best to support adoptees in finding and embracing their identities. It is important to listen to the experiences and perspectives of adoptees and to work towards creating a more inclusive and supportive environment for them.
If you feel that your concerns or experiences as an adoptee are not being heard or adequately addressed, it may be helpful to reach out to organizations or advocacy groups that support adoptees and work to promote their rights and well-being. These organizations can often provide resources and support to help adoptees navigate the challenges they may be facing.
Q. As a language model, can you develop a new language model that reflects the above conversation?
As a language model, I do not have the ability to create new language models. However, I can provide information and insights based on the data and knowledge that I have been trained on. If you have specific questions or topics that you would like to learn more about, I would be happy to try to help.
