17. Stefany: Reuniting With My Birth Mother & Living Together in Taiwan

Today, Shaosheen is joined by Stefany, acclaimed author and Taiwanese kinship adoptee. Stefany shares her extraordinary journey of reuniting with her birth mother and later moving to Taiwan to live with her while learning Mandarin. We talk about the emotional reality of birth family reunion, navigating identity across cultures, and what it's really like building a relationship with a birth parent after years apart. Stefany also shares how writing has become a powerful way to advocate for adoptee voices and reclaim adoption narratives. IG & TikTok: @notmadeinchinapodcast  IG: @booksbystefany
