Adopting Privilege: A Memoir of Reinventing my Adoptee Narrative” by Dr. Abigail K. Hasberry offers a powerful exploration of adoption through the eyes of a transracial adoptee, birth mother, and therapist. With deep authenticity, Hasberry draws on her personal journey and professional expertise as an executive leadership coach and licensed marriage and family therapist associate. She navigates the complexities of identity, loss, and resilience, shedding light on how societal norms and systemic biases shape the experiences of adoptees.


This memoir is for adoptees, adoptive parents, family members, therapists, social workers, and anyone curious about better supporting adoptees. Hasberry challenges traditional adoption narratives, advocating for a more inclusive approach to family dynamics and adoption policies. Through her story, she amplifies the voices of adoptees, pushing for their experiences to be central in discussions of cultural competency and social justice.

"I am convinced that this book is a tremendous gift for every Transracial Adoptee out there who feels that they are alone in their journey. It is equally a gift to child welfare professionals, therapists, foster and adoptive parents, non-adopted siblings and the public. "
