Navigating medical forms as an adoptee is just one of the many challenges discussed in our latest two part podcast episodes 24&25 with Maria Fernada.

Maria Fernanda advocates for adoptee voices to receive proper attention and respect at the doctor’s office, highlighting the need for sensitivity to their unique experiences.

In Ep 23, our guest @patrickintheworld , a transracial adoptee, talks about the transformative Adoptee Consciousness Model and how it impacted his understanding of what he was going through. This five-stage framework—status quo, rupture, dissonance, expansiveness, and forgiveness/activism—resonates deeply with his story. It’s like a scientific roadmap to understanding the adoptee experience, from rejection to self-love. Grateful to Patrick for sharing his journey and insights!! Listen to the whole episode wherever you listen to podcast! Link in the bio as well.
Unpacking childhood memories with Patrick, a transracial adoptee: from the first grade encounter that marked his journey with racism to the internal struggles with self-acceptance that lasted for years. The Combination of the core rejection he experienced through having to be giving up for adoption together with micro aggressions and racism in an environment that often discounted the both - created the perfect storm for Patrick to reject himself. Listen to Ep 23 to hear about how he turns his life around and is now inspiring other to fully embrace who they are.
