Meet Olivia, a transracial adoptee who identifies as Black, specifically Jamaican, bisexual, and sis female. She lives with her two white moms and little sister who who is also Black. One of her moms is also an adoptee.

"I went from no birth father connection to all of it in less than 24 hours."

"One of my favorite parts of adoption is that my parents can't pass on some of their bullshit to me as their parents passed on to them....there's no genetic anything happening in my family, so we all have our own journey."

Here's some of what we talked about:

  • Growing up in Maine and then Oakland, California
  • Moving to Oakland to be in a place with more POC
  • How PACT Family Camp impacted her
  • Finding her birth father
  • Her relationship with her birth mother
  • How her white moms work to grow and learn
  • What she loves about adoption
