We Need To Talk About This
Adopted daughter, adoptive mother - an intimate conversation, Part 1
Show Notes

We have the deep honour of facilitating a conversation between an adoptive mother, Camlynn Blumenthal, and an adopted daughter, Chanda Kornbek Meyer. Not related, Chanda and Cami talk about their experiences as a daughter and a mother. They share the impact of international transracial adoption on their lives -  intimate and vulnerable details.
Every adoption experience is unique, and there are important universal understandings.

The conversation in split into two episodes. In this first episode we get to know Cami and Chanda. We hear their story, perspectives on common misunderstandings about adoption, and important aspects of the transracial experience.

We are so so grateful to Chanda and Cami for daring to tell their stories - so we can learn.  We think it's an act of love.
