Transracial adoption is both an individual and a family experience. Questions about race, identity, belonging, and connection may emerge at different ages and in different ways.

Children and teens may not always have the language to explain what they are experiencing. Their feelings may show up through behavior, emotional reactions, relationships, or changes in how they see themselves.

Therapy creates room to talk about these experiences openly. We can explore what it means to grow up in a family where racial or cultural experiences may differ, without treating every concern as an adoption issue.

As a Black therapist, I bring both professional experience and lived cultural understanding to conversations about race, identity, belonging, and connection. I work with adoptees as well as parents who want to better understand and support experiences that may be different from their own.

There is no single correct way to experience or talk about adoption. The work is about making room for honesty, strengthening connection, and helping adoptees and families feel more fully understood.

If you are looking for support around transracial adoption, we can begin with a complimentary 20-minute consultation.
