Korean Adoptee: What It Means to be Korean and an Adoptee? [R.A.W. TALK ep. 004: Patrick Armstrong]
Korean Adoptee Stories is proud to present Patrick Armstrong. A handsome KAD with a passion for volunteering and rapping/writing that at 30 is in the admist of coming to accept his identity of being a Korean and an adoptee. We are trying to keep our episodes shorter than an hour long to keep viewership retention, along with reduced editing and production times, however there is a bit of regret that we did not have the time to go deeper. And to us, even though there was much more to say, was cut short. And that only means Patrick may have to show up and rap for us again in the future, talk about why he loves to volunteer, and his birth family search updates! We were listening in preparation to Pat's podcast before our interview and it goes in a bit more in-depth for people interested in listening to his story and was a very well done story. Thanks for sharing your story with us.
