A festive little reality check wrapped in cozy knit vibes.
This “Chosen? Not Exactly the Blessing You Think” holiday sweater takes the classic nativity aesthetic and flips it into adoptee truth-telling realness. Perfect for anyone who's tired of being called “lucky,” “blessed,” or “chosen” like it’s a personality trait instead of a lived experience.
Wear it when:
A relative starts in with the “God’s plan” monologue
Someone says adoption is a gift
You want to remind the room, gently but firmly, that your story is more complex than a Hallmark special
You’re in the mood to reclaim your narrative — with seasonal flair
Soft, bold, and unmistakably for the adoptee who’s done explaining why “chosen” hits differently.

Story Behind the Design
Every design in this shop comes straight from the lived experiences, chaos, humor, grief, and occasional “Are you kidding me?” moments shared across our community.
Some stories come from adoptees.
Some from MPE/NPE wanderers.
Some from donor-conceived folks.
Some from first parents reclaiming their voice.
All of them come from real people who got handed a plot twist they didn’t ask for.
