A brief history of inter-country/international adoption and the challenges that adoptees face as well as a call to action to support the Adoptee Citizenship Act to prevent adult adoptees from being deported.
This project was originally started in November 2021 for National Adoption Awareness Month. November is a month where adoptees are encouraged to share their experiences and where people are encouraged to learn more about the complexities around adoption. This research is only a small part of the complex challenges and issues that adoptees face.
