It can be difficult to see the full picture in adoption, because we often only hear from one side of an adoption triad at a time. However, adopted people and adoptive parents within the same family have individual and unique perspectives and struggles that require the context of the rest of their triad to fully understand and learn from. Adoptive mother Julie Etter and her transracially adopted son Isaac Etter open up to give adoption professionals and adoptive parents a window into their real-life struggles, lessons, and joys, discussing their individual perspectives and how they learned to see each other’s viewpoints.
