Episode Synopsis

Sometimes the math just doesn't add up for adoptees. Invariably, they must straddle two families, and sometime also two (or more) cultures, racial identities, and languages or dialects. Here with us is Torie DiMartile, a doctoral candidate in the field of anthropology, as well as a biracial Black transracial adoptee who also educates foster and adoptive parents. Don't miss Part 1 of all her insights about the worlds adoptees straddle, and how adoptive parents can better understand and support them.
