My story of love and loss as a transracial adoptee | Sara Jones
Visit to get our entire library of TED Talks, transcripts, translations, personalized talk recommendations and more.
A mysterious tattoo on her forearm was all that linked Sara Jones, adopted as a child by white parents, to her South Korean origins. Searching for her birth family taught her that transracial adoption stories often frame new lives abroad as strokes of luck that call for endless gratitude, obscuring a far more complex reality. Through her experience of loss and discovery, Jones offers guidance on what adoptive parents can do to protect their children’s unique cultural and personal narratives.
