NEO nonprofit, Transracial Journeys Family Camp, is giving families the tools they need to develop a healthy racial identity for all members of the family, while at the same time building community.
Between 2017 and 2019, 28% of all child adoptions in the United States were transracial. Transracial adoption is when a child of one race is adopted by a parent of another race. Of those transracial adoptions, 90% are white parents of children of a different race or ethnicity, and it can be challenging for both parents and children to adjust to the world around them.
As a transracially adopted person herself, Executive Director April Dinwoodie saw a need for community, and she found a home with the Transracial Journeys organization. “It's providing something that I didn't have as a child growing up in a very white community, in a white family, in terms of that community and my parents’ education around what I needed,” said Dinwoodie.
“You need community, you need community. You need to meet other families that are doing are on the same journey as you, it’s magical,” said Michelle.
