New blog post critiques the use of "forever family"
Heading to DC to educate congressional staff about adoption research! Looking forward to being part of the Research to Policy Collaboration.
Newest article out in adoption quarterly. Continued work on the experience of adoptees.
My first post for #NAAM. Thinking about family trees and families of trees. Where do adoptees find their roots after being transplanted/grafted? #NAAM . . . Image description: From BBC Video. An illustration of many black barked trees with green leaves. Underground their light green root systems connect to each other. In the center distance is a figure of a person in a white top and black pants kneeling down by a tree.
Slides from my presentation at MN Adopt on Wednesday. Slide 1) Why thinking about transracial adoption justice is important: it supports healthy identity development and self-esteem for TRA's; it supports TRA's mental health; support long-term healthy relationship and attachment between TRA's and their parents. Slide 2) Transracial adoption justice involves: - intersectional thinking - to understand that as transracial adoptees our lives are impacted by both race and adoption; being believed when we experience discrimination and oppression based on our racial, ethnic and /or adoption identities; having the white people in our lives do their own work to understand the history of race, power, privilege, and oppression in our country; having people in our lives who care about our communities, not just us as individuals; and considering the long haul. Slide 3) about me: photos of Chun King chicken chow mein can from the 1970s; a photo of a site called Blanc de Blanc (white on white) in my hometown; my Harlow's Monkey logo, the UW Tacoma logo, the cover of the book A Good Time for the Truth: Race in Minnesota; and a link to my interview with Hana and Ryan from @adoptedfeelspodcast
