Adoptee. Childhood Trauma Survivor. Memoir-in-Progress

A Short New York Times Parenting Piece

College Campus Tour

We all know parenting is a long game. A major part of my memoir “I Talk to My Mother in the Clouds” is how I fought to minimize generational trauma.

This published last week in the New York Times “Tiny Victories” Parenting section.

Thank you so much for your support and kind feedback on my HuffPost adoption essay. 

Fondly,

Yvonne

My birth mother left me on a stairwell in Hong Kong. Someone took me to the Pearl S. Buck orphanage where I lived for 15 months before a Chinese-American couple adopted me. So much of my life was mired in shame and secrets foisted on me by my traditional Chinese parents. It's time to share my truth and throw off the shackles of shame through essays, personal reported pieces and the memoir I'm writing. IG and Twitter @yvonneliuwriter.
