When Sharing Your Adoption Journey Brings Hate Online
Guest: Anna Bernacki — Adult Adoptee & Transracial Adoptive Parent
What happens when you share your learning journey publicly — and the internet turns on you for it? Tamekia sits down with Anna Bernacki, an adult adoptee who later became a transracial adoptive parent herself. Anna shares her experience learning how to care for and affirm her child across racial and cultural differences, and what happened when she chose to share that growth online. This episode is about adoption, identity, race, parenting, vulnerability, and the pressure to get everything right — especially when your mistakes are happening in front of an audience.
"How do we create space for honest conversations about adoption, race, and learning without shutting down the people willing to have them?"
