Authors
The writers behind this newsletter.
I write at the intersection of scholarship and lived reality. Drawing on my doctoral research, lived experience and published work, I examine the hidden architecture, cultural fictions and political machinery that shape adoption and identity.
I am adopted from S Korea into the corn fields of rural Illinois in the USA. My adopters were Caucasian & what felt like a total token life until I was about 14. Living in a world of Asian fetishism.
I am a KAD adopted by a Caucasian farming couple in rural Illinois of the USA & naturalized at the age of 7. I've been living in the USA for about 40 years now. I am legally 43.
