How can we better support BIPOC adoptees in Oregon?

Liana Soifer, Co-founder and Executive Director of VOICES joins the Exchange to discuss the work of her organization along with Lisa Butler, a board member and BIPOC Adoptee

Both guests provide insight into some of the complexities of BIPOC adoption, such as loss of identity and connection to culture from interracial adoptions, exploitative adoption circumstances, and kids not having anyone who looks like them in their family or in their community. We also discuss the resources and support their organization provides.
