17: Chris' Story: Changing the Narrative

Born in Seoul, South Korea, Chris Thompson’s birth mother dropped him off at an orphanage when he was a year and a half. He was lucky enough to be adopted at two years old but growing up as the only Asian boy in rural Mississippi to caucasian parents definitely had some challenges. In this episode we learn about how adoption, divorce and his adopted mom’s death have all played a role in Chris’ depression and how he has worked to change the narrative to make the most of his life.
