Things I'd tell my younger adoptee self + some tips for adoptive parents

Thank you ❤️ this has been so helpful. We are in the process to adopting from India ❤️

The suicide fact. Yes it’s a real thing. Rejection and abandonment is a thread throughout your life. I can relate to the pre adoption state. When I became a mum I felt so sad for my infant self (mixed race baby). I missed some many important months being loved inside a family. Maybe I would have become more confident? Accepting of my differences

Thank you. You are a beautiful Asian woman! it’s just you grew up at a place where beauty standard was diff. in asia your type is beautiful ; on the other hand blonde/ blue eyes / being big & tall is not an advantage. Be aware of your own beauty. And by the true beauty is from a loving heart too.
