Description

This week we're so excited to hear from Kim Perry again. Kim is an adoption professional and a licensed social worker, as well as the mother of two children who were adopted from Ecuador. Kim shares about the process of adopting her daughters, and advice for adoptive parents about helping children address trauma and other challenges that stem from adoption. She talks about embracing our children's cultures and heritages. She discusses her family’s experience becoming a transracial family and the struggles of children facing racism. She also talks about special needs adoption and older child adoption and shares her thoughts on how we as an adoption community can better rally around and support adoptees.
