Summary

In this today’s episode of Voices of Your Village we dove into part III of our adoption series with adoptee, Kayla. Kayla got real and vulnerable about her experience being adopted, what it was like as a black person being adopted into a white family and living in a predominantly white community. She shared the circumstances of her adoption, her relationship with her biological mom and siblings and the challenges she has faced in those relationships. We dove into the ways that race impacts adoption and the unique challenges Kayla felt as she tried to navigate black culture as a young adult. Tune in today to hear how adoption impacts the adoptee, how trauma that occurs at a young age can have a lasting impact, and why emotional support during challenging experiences is so crucial.   Love this podcast?
