For Transracial Adoptees
The Family That Chose You and the Heritage They Couldn't Give You
The family that chose you is real. The heritage they couldn't give you is also real. Name both.
For the transracial adoptee working through the specific experience of being raised by a family of a different race or culture — holding love for the family that raised you alongside the questions about the heritage you didn't receive
The Name It First Experience
You were adopted by a family that loves you. You were also separated from a heritage that was yours by birth and could not be fully transmitted across the racial and cultural gap. These two truths are not in conflict — but they do require naming. This workbook is about naming both: the family you have, the heritage you are figuring out, and the identity you are building at that intersection. You leave with The Transracial Adoptees Identity Charter — a named account of who you are on your own terms.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What parts of your identity — cultural, racial, familial — do you most want to understand and embrace?
- What do you know about yourself now that it took time and experience to discover?
- What has your experience shaped in you that you see as a genuine strength?
- What does belonging mean to you — and where or with whom do you feel it most?
