The Adoptee Thoughts Podcast will offer an inside look from a transracial adoptee’s perspective on international adoption, race, identity, and more. This podcast will delve into the nuances of adoption, and will not shy away from the tough topics. In Season Four of the Adoptee Thoughts podcast, I will be shining a spotlight on ADOPTION CHANGEMAKERS, ranging from adoptees, former foster youth, birth mothers, adoptive parents, and professionals who are revolutionizing the adoption and foster care community.

In this episode, we are delving into why adoptees search for birth family. I explain my reasons for genetic testing, why I wanted to search, and the importance of taking the time to prepare yourself before searching. This episode also includes a little behind the scenes of my recent HuffPo article, "My Half Siblings Found Me on 23andMe. I Wasn't Prepared for What Happened Next."

OMG I love this! I've never really talked to anyone about being adopted, most people aren't! It sometimes comes up as a simple statement of fact, usually in a doctor's office when they ask about family history, but that's about it. You have definitely ignited a spark in me and I'm going to begin the search for answers myself.
