"All American Adoptee" is (mostly) a self-project where I can voice my experiences as an international adoptee. Sometimes, I'm proud of my adopted status. Other days, I am not.

 I've struggled with balancing my cultural and racial identity all my life, constantly asking myself, "Where do I belong?". While seeking to find an answer, I've come across feelings of rejection, shame, and displacement, all of which have deterred me from discussing my adoption. But as I've grown older, I've realized that ignoring major parts of myself is ultimately harmful.  

And now, I'm ready to talk about some of the brightest (and darkest) parts of my life as an Asian American adoptee.
