US: Trauma, identity and love: Being adopted didn’t give me a better life, but changed my path (Opinion) (Includes video)
USA Today – November 27, 2021
The lack of adoption awareness has a negative impact on adoptees like me.November is recognized as National Adoption Month, and it is time the general public makes a serious effort to change the way they view and talk about adoption. People are not properly educated on adoption because it isn’t generally included in school curriculums, and some content unintentionally triggers negative emotions for adoptees. Each adoptee’s experience is different. People don’t know about the depths of adoption unless they have been personally impacted by it, or were adopted themselves.
