In the eyes of Grace Yung Foster, an adoptive parent's role goes beyond providing a home and love. It's about understanding the silent battles that the child might be fighting. 🌸
The child may not know how to articulate their feelings of abandonment or separation, and they might not even recognize these as traumatic experiences. But that doesn't make the trauma any less real. 🎭
Grace reflects on her own adoption journey, acknowledging that there was a significant lack of education around these issues when she was adopted.
But she sees hope in the present, as awareness and intentionality among adoptive parents seem to be on the rise. 🌅
However, she's quick to remind us that there's still a long road ahead.
Grace now identifies as a proud Asian American, a testament to her journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Her story is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to seek support and embrace who you truly are.
