I rarely talk about being adopted. I was trained not to. Like other #adoptees, I've ruminated on questions about my personal history. I know the answers now to some of these. Others may always feel like open questions.

Who am I?
What was my original name?
Where am I from?
Who am I from?
Where was I before I joined my family?
Who cared for me along the way?
What belongs to me?
Where and to what do I belong?
Do I belong?
Anywhere?

#NAAM #NationalAdoptionAwarenessMonth #adoptee #AdopteeVoices

#librarians are there any #publiclibraries hosting #adopteecentric programs during #NAAM | #NationalAdoptionAwarenessMonth ?

#adoptees #adopteevoices are sadly under-represented - particularly across the United States. As a member of Adoptees Unite (http://adopteesunite.org), I also serve as a researcher on our content team. I can attest to it being incredibly difficult to find materials scholarly or otherwise presented in an adoptee centric & inclusive fashion.

Free online screening of our short documentary (followed by a Q&A) on the search for my #birthfather on Friday, Nov. 18, 7:00 pm EST. Do join us! #adopteevoices #adoption #TransracialAdoptee #adoptionawarenessmonth
