Voices of the Triad: Adoptees of Color in Same-Race Adoptions

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.
