Sit back and get ready to listen to this episode with Korean American adoptee Lia Stapinski. In this conversation she shares with us her experience growing up and what it’s like trying to navigate her birth culture as an adoptee. She also dives into what exactly cultural disappointment can feel like as an adoptee as she shares insight on her personal experiences and thoughts.

I am also introducing to the AMW community formally for the first time my new small business! I have a passion for jewelry making, particularly silversmithing at this moment. Check out my Instagram for some unique, adoptee-made pieces!
