Personal Narrative: My Successful Adoption

345 Words2 Pages

I would identify my greatest professional success as my first successful adoption. After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree, I quickly began working as a case manager for foster children. My first client was two years of age and had experienced more trauma in her short life than some adults. This client was a beautiful girl on the outside, but it was obvious that there was so much pain on the inside. The client’s caregiver was her great aunt, who was terrified of my client and she was sure that the placement would not be successful. Over twelve months, I worked with the family to help locate and provide services that to help address the behavioral and emotional concerns as well as the burden that was placed on the home.

  • Personal Narrative: My Life As An Interracial Adoption

    539 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mistakes are one of the most common occurrences of human nature, and I felt I was the living embodiment of an unwanted one. I was born a traveler. Four months into my life, I had embarked on a journey that consisted of over 6,300 miles to an unfamiliar home after being abandoned by my birth parents at infancy. Going against convention, I was not raised in a culture of blood; the links which connect me to others are not based in biology, but in relationship. Despite the fact that living as an interracial adoptee is all I have ever known, I have spent an overwhelming amount of time continuously speculating about my biological family in Seoul, what my life would have been had I been raised there, where I would be now had I been adopted by a different family.
