December 4, 2024 :: 11AM CST :: Adoption & Intersectionality: Navigating Race, Culture, Class, and Queerness as an Adoptee, given by Joe Toolan

Adoptees often find themselves in the web of complex identities, systems, and predicaments. Joe will discuss what it means to him as a transracial international adoptee with Guatemalan Roots growing up in a White family. Transracial adoptees often find that they do not fit in, and can struggle with identity and self, as well as navigating challenging conservations with their parents around race and class. As a queer person, Joe will also discuss navigating coming out, being authentic, and living a truthful life with both adoptive parents, and in reunion with birth family. Joe will also discuss working as an advocate for the community, as a leader in the non-profit and advocacy world, how education and relationships can make a better world for adoptees.
