Building from last year’s discussion about how colorblindness shows up in how non-adoptees relate to adoptees, this session will focus on adoptees’ responses. How do we think about and represent ourselves as adoptees, as immigrants, and/or as people of color in relationships with ourselves and others, particularly when colorblindness is present? This is a fishbowl session where non-adoptees are invited to observe and listen to the conversation, but not respond.
