Bethany Fraser is a transacially adopted person and host of the podcast, The Adoptee Diaries: Truth, Trust, and Transparency. Bethany always knew she was adopted, but it wasn’t until she did a home DNA kit that she learned some stunning secrets about her origins, including the discovery that she was multiracial, something that had been kept hidden from her, and which ultimately led her to connect with her birthfamily. Bethany is leading the conversation on the intersection of ancestry and adoption, the lifelong search for identity and belonging, and the unique challenges of being mixed race in America. Drawing from her own emotional journey of discovery, Bethany sheds light on the complex issues surrounding the identities and family relationships of adopted people, and how the power of DNA testing is reshaping the adoption narrative, especially in closed adoptions.
