Success After International Adoption with Jonathan Joseph
from Foster Care: An Unparalleled Journey · host Jason and Amanda Palmer
I am an international adoptee from Colombia who was adopted at 9 months with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy. My story is one of perseverance and the power of adoption to not only change lives but also highlights some of the traumas/struggles inherent in being an adoptee even when things go "right" as it were. I would like to speak on the work adoptive or foster parents should do to ensure they're balancing their needs/wants/comfort with the perspectives of an adult adoptee reflecting on their experience growing up unaware of their adoption until they were in adolescence. Lastly, I'd like to share about my work in ed-tech & publishing for kids through the lens of these experiences and especially how they resonate for those who are also transracial (raised a different culture/ethnicity than their own.)
