We are pro-choice with a reproductive justice lens, and are not religiously affiliated.

This week, the New Yorker published the long-form article “Living in Adoption’s Emotional Aftermath.” Transracial adoptee and adoption consultant Angela Tucker participated in this piece, which was thoughtfully reported and written by Larissa MacFarquhar. In Angela’s words, the article is “truly adoptee-centered, nuanced and powerful … it’s one of the strongest pieces on adoptee perspectives to date.” Visit Angela’s blog at The Adopted Life to read about her experience being a part of this piece, and be sure to check out her link to the New Yorker article, which also has an audio version available! https://tinyurl.com/3ee43dpu
