The Right to Know the Story of Our Birth: Equality and Access

Join host Nancy Kahn for an important discussion on the emotional journey and the differences that adoptees and members of the adoption triad and extended families face due to different state laws and restrictions. Nancy identifies as a BIPOC, biracial, transracial adoptee who went through a closed adoption and has reunited with her birth parents and some extended biological relatives. She shares the story of another adoptee as told in a recent article in the New York Times as well as her own story. Listeners are invited to call in to share their feelings and needs related to their own experiences around access and equal rights in US and international adoptions. Listeners can call 1-510-8484425 or 1-800-958-9008 to join in this conversation.
