text reads: NAAM2025 National Adoption/adoptee Awareness Month, "one day somewhere I was born... DNA tells me I am 100% Korean" - Meggin Nam Holtz LCSW/KAD/TRA

November is "National Adoption/Adoptee Awareness Month" #NAAM.
Please take the time to learn from adopted people who are sharing experiences, thoughts, and their voices bravely. There are as many adoption stories as there are adopted people.

#NAAM2025
National Adoption Awareness Month
Please allow space for the losses incurred in adoption.
Please see the similarities between the horror of family separation due to war, natural disasters, or immigration, and the horror of family separation in adoption.

Wishing all a Happy Chuseok!
추석 잘 보내세요

It is another time with layers of complication for Korean adoptees, both with family ancestral origins known and unknown.
Thinking of all on these days of full lunar autumn moons.

writing "you are cared for YOU MATTER!"

writing: "You are awesome no matter what you look like"

writing: "You can hang in there!"

Last week I had the honor to run sessions at Camp Mujigae.
These are some of the messages that the youth wrote when prompted to write a message to themselves on a hard day.
Topics of race and adoption need more brave spaces for #TRAs.
