During Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, it's important to recognize and celebrate the unique experiences of adoptees within these communities. Many adoptees of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander descent bring a rich blend of cultural backgrounds to their identity.
For adoptees within these communities, heritage can be a complex and evolving part of their identity. A lot of the adoptees who travel with us are international adoptees and have had to adjust to cultures and traditions that are different from their country of birth. Many are transracial adoptees and are navigating the intersection between their adoptive and biological cultures.
This month offers an opportunity to highlight the diverse journeys of adoptees and the ways in which they contribute to and shape AANHPI communities. It's a time to celebrate the resilience, strength, and unique perspectives that adoptees bring to their cultural heritage. Let's embrace and uplift adoptees as integral members of our AANHPI family during this special month of celebration.
