One of the main reasons I created Found in Korea was to create content for adopted youth and adults. This content was intentionally created as a proactive opportunity for youth to talk about feelings surrounding adoption.

This is an excerpt from my doc @foundinkorea of a letter that I wrote to my birth family introducing myself.
I share w you today to remind people of the enormity and strangeness of writing an introduction letter to birth family, 2/
Today = Birth Mothers Day

In text convo w/a friend, I think I just coined a term: "identity injury" -pls correct me if I'm wrong #adopteetwitter #adopteevoices
IDENTITY INJURY includes:
loss of family of origin, culture
race confusion
having to code switch
lack of mirroring
wondering whr traits originate
