What Adoption Taught Me | My Adoption Journey

In this video, I share my personal story and the lessons I have learned from being adopted. From navigating the complexities of identity and belonging to facing the challenges of attachment and loss, being adopted has shaped my perspective in profound ways.
I reflect on the importance of self-acceptance, resilience, and the power of love and connection in overcoming the obstacles that come with being adopted. I also address the stigma and misconceptions surrounding adoption, and the need for greater awareness and understanding of the unique experiences of adoptees.
Through my own journey, I have discovered the strength and resilience that lies within all of us, and the power of embracing our own stories and embracing our own truths. I hope that sharing my experiences will inspire others to embrace their own journeys.

Life is not about whether reasons are good or bad, reasonable or not, nor is it about answers. Learn to accept things, be grateful to those who have helped you and those who have been kind to you, and your life will be full of light. Always do what you want to do, you are in my impression, you are in my heart, you are always a sunny and cheerful beautiful girl, greetings from Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, China, I am working hard to learn English🤗🤗🤗

Thanks for this. Recently watched some videos about Asian adoption after seeing on RUclips the BBC documentary about Katie Pohla _ " Meet me on the bridge". Suspect things might be easier in Sydney where I live. Just watched the main ABC news where the anchor was Lydia Feng; in hospital 50% of my doctor's were East Asian and we have wonderful food bloggers like Janice Fung. Around 10% of the population here is East Asian. Very highly regarded as they have been so successful. I go to Indonesia a lot where you are hardly aware of its Dutch history - probably because the colonists were very problematic.
