“Why in the world would anybody put chains on me, yeah?
I’ve paid my dues to make it
Everybody wants me to be
What they want me to be
I’m not happy when I try to fake it…”

When we talk about transracial adoption, we never think about racism. I discovered racism at the age of 3 when I started school. I discovered anonymity as an adult in the 13th arrondissement of Paris. That feeling of security when you blend in with the crowd.

Usually I remove all the tabs from a book before I photograph it for social media, but I kept them in for THE VIOLENCE OF LOVE by Kit W. Myers to show how many important passages there were. Read my review at www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/bookreview/t...

Girl holding a yellow mask, akin to feeling like she is putting on her Asianess

Informatjon regarding transracial adoption that includes a letter to an adopted child, adoptive parents, and the adoption industry. It also shares a CTA and feminist theory

As a transracial adoptee, sometimes it feels as if I am wearing a mask. Not quite knowing my Vietnamese history/culture and not quite fitting in with my white peers.

I am third from the left. I was three years old. Other than baby Lisa, all of us were Dora's foster children. Due to a house fire, this is the youngest picture Dora had of me.
This picture makes me feel so sad. I miss these girls.

An illustration with a wooden table, blue backdrop and traditional Korean architectural pieces displayed in the upper corners. At the top center is the Multnomah County seal. The caption, “HAPPY KOREAN AMERICAN DAY” is displayed in yellow. The word happy has cherry blossoms on either side of it. There is a Korean flag and American flag crossed beyond the table. Upon the table, there are traditional Korean foods with a pair of chopsticks on a rest to the right of the main dish. The person writing this description is learning about Korean cuisine, and will list the dishes to the best of their ability, knowing they may be mistaken: banana milk, kimchi, kimbap, japchae, and jeongol (or Korean hot pot).

Last year, Multnomah County began celebrating Korean American Day.

As a transracial, Korean American adoptee, I grew up with American culture through the lens of white communities. But today, I am connecting to my Korean heritage in my own ways.

It’s like racists with #transracialadoption or #KillTheIndianSaveTheMan. We can create them in our image. Turn folks into who we want them to be.. with none of that pesky culture of their own or demands for equality.

Children’s books where children need to see themselves, should feature children in them

Black cultural genocide... Given to white racist parents.

White parents adopting Black children needs to end. Now.

It inflicts incredible trauma.

Gaslit children raised by parents who don't believe systemic racism exists. Voting Trump.

Life. Altering. Trauma.

Being adopted means navigating the world as a 2nd class citizen. Fighting for information that non-adoptees take for granted. Here’s looking forward to a world where adoption no longer exists.
