Jori | My Experience as an Adoptee and Birth Mom

This week we hear Jori’s story as both an adoptee and a birth mother. Jori was adopted from foster care at six months old by a biracial family. She talks about holding space for every part of adoption, including the traumatic parts. She shares thoughts about how placing her oldest daughter for adoption helped her better connect with her own birth mom, and what we as an adoption community can do to better support adoptees and birth parents. This is a beautiful interview representing all three perspectives of the adoption triad, with Jori teaching us as both an adoptee and birth mom and Lanette, an adoptive mom, interviewing.
