This Is Me | Reclaiming My Name As A Transracial Adoptee

MY ADOPTION STORY PT. 96 | RECLAIMING MY NAME

Names are an important part of identity. Adoptees have unique relationships with names because ours were changed upon adoption. In this video, I discuss reclaiming my name and my relationship with a name given to me by the orphanage. 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. For Lilly’s Entire Adoption Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdiBfpTw0hchlWKNWP476kUsffxX9yWFj
