Activism in Adoption Webinar: Adoption & Intersectionality–Navigating Race, Culture, Class, and Queerness as an Adoptee
December 4 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
$15Adoptees often find themselves in a web of complex identities, systems, and predicaments. Joe Toolan 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, and how education and relationships can make a better world for adoptees.
