This KAD Blasian Author Experienced More Adversity Being Black Than Being Adopted ~ Miracle Reunion

Korean Adoptee Stories is excited to interview a half-Korean and half-Barbadian American Adoptee author Li Quaites. Li discusses what it was like being adopted by a black family and growing up being a mixed race person living in America. She never thought about her adoption until miraculously reunited with her Birth Father. She also discusses the trials and tribulations trying to find her birth Mother in Korea. She recounts her experiences through her memoir in her book: "Faith & Favor: Discovering Family at Fifty."
