    I compare it to the analogy of going to a cemetery with Emma

    I compare it to the analogy of going to a cemetery with Emma

    Emma had an opportunity to go to China for a 5 week immersion program and shares about her experience. When it came to choosing a language to study, she chose Chinese and studied throughout high school and college. It was very insightful to hear about the 5 week program visit and processing the unbalanced feelings and recognizing later on what they were. We also talk about piercings and tattoos because that is always a fun time!

    Meet different people under this name with Xiaoyan

    We both have cleft palettes that have been repaired. Xiaoyan has recently been exploring more about adoption and culture in relation to her identity. I got to reminisce about pop culture references that are pre Y2K and laugh along with Xiaoyan as I heard more about her discoveries and journey.

    Entering a new decade birthday with Tara and Katie

    Entering a new decade birthday with Tara and Katie

    Birthday episode 生日!A solo reflection and a recording on a windy rooftop in the city with Katie. In the week since turning 30, been able to reflect more about  quality over quantity, leaving what doesn't serve you, and how every shift in life, there's change. I reflect on meeting hosts of a show I've been a fan of for a long while, being a fashion model (photoshoot), visiting home soon, and search process.

You learn so much about the Adoptee Perspective

I have been a listener of this podcast for a couple months and I have found such relief and comfort in the discussions had on this podcast as a fellow adoptee. I love hearing people's thoughts and opinions on their own adoption and I think this podcast allows Chinese adoptees to say what's on their minds and hearts!!
