Description

Adoptee Allison Olson, author of the children’s book “Surrounded by Love,” discusses the impact of the “lucky adoptee” narrative and adoptee wellness. The vast spectrum of what “open adoption” means and how openness impacts experiences across the adoption constellation are subjects Allison is well-versed in. She discusses the importance of adoptee access to their own original birth certificates, the differences she’s seen on adoptee wellness when open adoption is practiced. Allison is now also an adoptive parent and shares how her experience as an adoptee impacted that journey as well.
