Joined by moderator and birthmother Shanyce H. and adult adoptee Nam Holtz, LMSW, Isaac takes a deep-dive into the intersection of race and adoption, providing an audience of adult adoptees, adoptive parents, and adoption professionals an unvarnished look at some of the challenges inherent in building a multi-racial family.
