Isaac Etter Discusses Adoptees and Identity

Isaac Etter Discusses Adoptees and Identity

Isaac Etter grew up as a black boy surrounded by a loving but also primarily white family. It took him a long time to understand his full identity and how his race affected his place in the world. Over time, Isaac educated not only his adoptive family about race and adoption but also sought to inform other adoptive families. Isaac regularly speaks on topics of race and adoption and offers resources to adoptive parents and other organizations to help them better understand the adoptee's perspective.
