Abstract
ABSTRACT:This essay is an autoethnographic narrative about what it means for an adoptee to begin to tell their own story and the implications for feminist and humanities scholars working in the field of critical adoption studies. Centering the notion that adoption is built on narratives and the importance of interrogating which narratives are in need of replacing, this essay explores the complexity that exists for adult adoptees who are the products of closed adoption and seeks to create space for healing those wounds by breaking long held silences.
