Episode 3: saviours

Are my parents saviours for adopting me?

Today's episode unpacks the idea of White Saviour Complex/Syndrome in the context of adoption. The idea of adoptive parents as saviours/messianic figures is sad misconception that tends to be reinforced by warped representations of adoption. Perhaps it's the social and cultural climate we are living in that perpetuate these misconceptions, or maybe it's just a lack of education on the topic of adoption. That's why I'm here :)

This episode will be covering topics such as the pros/cons of interracial adoption, the fear of being 'returned', and what an ideal adoptive parents should look like (in my opinion of course). @atypicaladoptee
