Ideas worth spreading

Моята история за любовта и загубата като трансрасиално осиновено дете

Мистериозната татуировка на ръката ѝ беше всичко, което свързваше Сара Джоунс, осиновена като дете от бели родители, с нейния южнокорейски произход. Търсенето на нейното родно семейсто я научи, че често трансрасиалните истории за осиновяване построяват нов живот в чужбина като късмет, който изисква безкрайна признателност, затъмняваща далеч по-сложна реалност. Чрез нейния опит от загуба и откриване, Джоунс предлага насоки какво могат да направят родителите, за да защитят уникалните културни и лични разкази на децата си.
