To commemorate Adoptee Remembrance Day 2022, we recorded a live event with the Adoptee Voices writing groups and ten adoptee writers who are sharing a collection of their poetry and prose with us. #AdopteesOn #ARD2022 #AdopteeVoices https://t.co/drYvZivw98

@thesusanito @nicolesjchung @adopteecrossing We should ask our author friends if they read the reviews! I need to stop. I can’t take it. 💔💔

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

@nicoleschung is back! Nicole’s new memoir, A Living Remedy, is a heartbreaking pilgrimage through grief in losing her adoptive parents. Nicole has been one of the stalwart leaders in our community and you’ll know why when you listen. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/axcS3gajFg

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Sarah Myer, author of the forthcoming graphic memoir, Monstrous (@smyercomics) and I talk about their love of comics, anime, and cosplay and how it lead them to explore their own identity as a Korean adoptee and comic artist. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/vCmT0vC9bT

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

We're speaking with @kiraomans today: actor, audiobook narrator, and adoptee advocate! We talk about what it’s like to audition as an adoptee and to embody a new character and identity, as well as adoptee representation in Hollywood. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/Jg1OFmYzYN

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

We are thrilled to talk with @saudsleypoe today! We talk through several poems in her debut collection, Landlock X, and Sarah shares about how a reunion with genetic family in Korea only opened up more questions for her. #AdopteesOn #AdopteeVoices https://t.co/SibZIPtLwk

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Dr. Chaitra talks with us about adoptee superpowers. We don't express gratitude for a traumatic experience, but seek to understand common traits we hold and how to use them to our advantage. We talk about perfectionism, empathy, people-pleasing and more. https://t.co/vSrbHZtdsf

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Today, we hear from Dr. Samantha Coleman and Sandria Washington from @blackandadopted about the lack of resources for same race black adoptees and how they are building the community and supports they wish they had. #AdopteesOn #AdopteeVoices https://t.co/fWpHxUMdZr

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Anne talks the intersections between living abroad as an American expat and being an adopted person. She shares about growing up with an adopted brother living out the defiant “acting out” adoptee stereotype. #AdopteeVoices #AdopteesOn https://t.co/7YVgHsV59Y

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Cam Lee Small shares how he went from aspiring rock band guitarist to a therapist who primarily works with adoptees and their families. We talk about the complexities of supporting adopted children while keeping adoptive parents engaged. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/dTAUnrM3pB

[Haley Radke @haleyradke]

Thank you so much to the 34 people who have donated towards our transcription project! This is a massive undertaking and I would truly value anything you're able to contribute. Right now we're at $2,145 raised! https://t.co/MS4J1lRo4X

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Today, Laura Summers, LMFT, talks about how pet loss is a form of disenfranchised grief. Laura and I discuss how we can move through grief in a way that honours ourselves instead of trying to get to a finish line of feeling “fine”. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/3lezy4vHwP

[The Starlings Collective @starlingscoll]

It’s not too late to sign up for this poetry workshop for BIPOC adoptees with @tiananob! ✍️

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Today's guest is Angela Tucker, one of the most well-known adopted people in our community, subject of the documentary Closure, now turned author of You Should Be Grateful: Stories of Race, Identity, and Transracial Adoption. #AdopteesOn #AdopteeVoices https://t.co/G9rgtTr8ve

[Adoptees On @adopteeson]

Today we are joined by @AmyGeller, LCSW, adoptee and therapist, and her husband Jeff Nyhuis. We talk with Amy and Jeff about coming out of the fog together and they give us advice about how we can start these conversations with our partners. #AdopteesOn https://t.co/Jtsa18ov44
