#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. 🥚 #foundinkorea #adopteevoices

October 30 = Adoptee Remembrance Day Tomorrow we bear witness to the unbearable losses that co-occur with adoption. No sugar coating. We all do this in the ways in which we can. Some years I am able to do more, less, nothing… This year, 2025, I am ​able to post​; 1/2 🥚

WORDS AS LIFELINES: BIPOC Adoptee Voices for Gaza pci.jotform.com/joonae/words...

Federal agents from ICE and HSI—some in military fatigues and masks—descended on Chinatown today in an aggressive and reckless raid on immigrant street vendors. Once again, the Trump administration chooses authoritarian theatrics that create fear, not safety. It must stop.

Client theme: Feeling "stuck?" "unmotivated?" "drained?" You are not alone! Try to remember: One tiny move makes a huge difference. It can look like: -a phone call/text -a stretch -putting on a song -washing a dish -drinking a glass of water -watering a plant (con't 1/2)

"Internalized racism is when a person believes negative messages abt their own, and other's, cultures and races. All racism is harmful, but this one is especially toxic; internalizing this oppression results in self-devaluation, resignation, & feelings of hopelessness." - Google AI Overview 🥚 #TRA

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. Image credit: HomestayKorea.com 🥚 #foundinkorea #adopteevoices

know that this is going on not normal not okay

I had the privilege to travel. "Rest so that we can come back and do the things that are important to and demanded of us"...so we can dig deep & do the work needed - especially during these times of intense duress & terror. Much gratitude to the universe. Much love, hope, and peace to all, nam 남 ❤️

It was a privilege to talk with so many birth mothers for this story. For some, it was the first time they had spoken about their experiences to anyone outside of family. I wish I could have included more of their stories. Every conversation was important & helped me better understand open adoption.

Urge governments and foreign offices to demand the release of their citizens who were on board the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza and to call for an end to the siege and genocide. globalsumudflotilla.org/contact-offi...

Trans rights are human rights.

She was adopted from Brazil at 11. A girl dreaming of America. But her adoptive father abused her. Her life spiraled – violence, crime, mental illness. Decades later, ICE detained her. She was, it turned out, a woman without a country.

they should also be healthy and tasty, what a concept.

🤮

it's the birth window emotion ball again... sharing some of what is coming out of me this time around

We had a great turnout at the Harbor Theater in Boothbay Harbor, ME over the weekend! p.s. It was surreal to share the marquee with "Superman" !!! 🥚

I leave water out for animals in the hot weather but if I go away for a few days, I really worry that they have become dependent on those bowls of water (they are empty every morning) and then I wonder if I'm doing more harm than good... 😕

Another appaulling step towards total dictatorship AND another great distraction from Epstein files and other atrocities.

I am now an LCSW! As an adopted person, I hesitated to share as I am constantly fighting the fear that "good" will be taken away. Leaning into success = challenging leaning into trust = challenging I share this news w you not for glory, but for continuing education about adoptees experiences. 🥚

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. #adopteevoices #foundinkorea #KAD #transracial #adoption 🥚

...do they think this will save them from school shootings??

Today's PSA: I am an adoptee. Adoption definitely has many upsides, and I am not discounting them. But, I'd like folks to also consider, that with these immeasurable "wins," there are also massive losses/hard things to consider - 1/4 #adopteesky 🥚 #adopteevoices
