Training for Professionals

As a Korean American adoptee, the multi-layered complexity within the transracial and transcultural adoption community has been both my lived experience and a professional passion. When discussing the adoption constellation, the mainstream narrative often highlights the gratitude and beauty, yet dismisses the hardships. While there are many joys and gifts in adoption, there are also wounds and burdens that need significant care. Additionally, as we are now more deeply understanding the importance of emotional presence, identity, and consequences of systems of oppression, it is important to continuously reflect on our practices and perspectives in order to continue to grow and shift in the most supportive ways possible.
