In general I’ve been far less involved in adoption in general as I work hard on other aspects of my freelance work. However this morning someone left a nice comment on this site saying that I should do more adoption comics. I don’t know if it was weather I was looking for something to do on a lazy Sunday, of if i’d just happened to watch an adoption documentary on the BBC.

So Carole, here is a new comic, much sooner then I’d intended =).

Since i combined comics with adoption issues, i’ve always wanted to try doing a comic about this topic. I’m sure this wont be the only time I do one on this topic =). While this is def not an exclusive transracial adoptee issue… I do know that sometimes I’m lost for what to actually answer that question with.

I need to give some credit to my husband on this comic who helped me simplify it =).
