MY ADOPTION STORY | NATIONAL ADOPTION AWARENESS MONTH 2020

It’s that time of year again. It’s National Adoption Awareness Month. It began as a way to raise awareness of foster care youth in need of permanent homes. It has since been claimed by others in the industry to promote private infant adoption. Adoptees are now reclaiming the month to raise awareness of the complexities in adoption and to validate adoptee voices.

My videos are filmed and scheduled to publish weeks in advance. While I had the energy to discuss these topics then, I may be in a different place now. I don’t want any adoptee to feel like I am ignoring their connections. I just have to take care of myself as well.
