Hey hey! In this episode, I touch on some of the questions listeners have sent to me. I tried my best to answer the questions to the best of my abilities and based on my experiences. Please remember that I do not speak for all adoptees; my story and perspective are only mine. Thank you to those who wrote in and I hope I answered your question. The questions around identity, loss of culture, and racism in a predominately white area will take a long time to answer. This is just the beginning of the conversation and I cannot wait to continue and get more perspectives around such topics. As always, please feel free to reach out! xoxo - Lidet
