Chinese Adoptees | Prairie Public in North Dakota

Asians make up just 3½ percent of the population in Fargo, N.D., and people of Chinese descent are a smaller slice of that. Annie Prafcke is a native of China adopted as an infant by a single white woman in Fargo. From an early age, Prafcke was aware of her otherhood, but only in the past couple years did she hit upon the idea of exploring her experiences through a podcast. She produced a three-part series in partnership with Prairie Public in North Dakota called “Chinese Adoptees: Not Abandoned or Alone.” In this conversation, she talks about the impetus, process and impact of her work on this series.
