Deb Gallagher created her family through “the messy miracle of international adoption.” Deb talks about the homophobia she encountered as a lesbian seeking to adopt a child both domestically and internationally, and the way she had to hide parts of her identity to have any chance at adoption.  She describes her grief at bringing a child away from her home culture and language to a country that is so racist, and observes the many ways that her daughter’s experience of being in this culture is so different from her own as a white person.
