Description
BIPOC adoptees in same-race placements sometimes grow up in, and are part of, a family who can “pass” as their family of origin. Hear from the truest experts, adoptees themselves, as they explore the complexities of “invisible” adoptions for people of color; the nuances of perceived and shared culture, traditions and histories; and their journeys toward embracing their whole, true selves, including their connections to birth family. Panel includes adoptees placed through foster care, private adoption and international adoption.
Target audience: BIPOC triad members and professionals who work with them.
Subject categories: Adoptee Voices/Adoptee Identity, Talking About Adoption, Race & Adoption
