Dumped at Birth
by Dumped at Birth
2 transracial Chinese adoptees, Leah & Tayler, exploring their lives as adults 28+ years after adoption. They'll bring candid, weird, brutally honest conversations about the modern realities of adoption: dating, sex, attachment, anger, the adoption economy, birth parents, medical histories, internalized racism, & what it actually means to be dumped at birth. They hope this can be a resource for adoptees, adoptive parents, & anyone who has ever struggled with identity, family, belonging, temporality, or abandonment (spoiler: that’s all of you!).
