Jamie Weiss shares some of her experiences as an adoptee in the 1970s, growing up in a closed adoption, never having conversations at home about adoption. She shares thoughts about her reunion experience and adoptee trauma. Jamie works with the Georgia Alliance for Adoptee Rights. You can also follow her adoption education efforts at signedsealedadopted.com. She and a fellow-adoptee just launched a podcast where they discuss children’s books from adoptee perspectives called Adoption Rewritten.
