Description
This is a digital image comprised of painted watercolour parts.
There is pressure in adoption to present an image of ‘rainbows and unicorns’ – overwriting the trauma and loss of a child’s birth family with sunny smiles and a ‘forever family’ narrative.
Acknowledging the loss and challenges of adoption is crucial for healing.
This is a joyful image – the Chinese characters on the butterfly stand for ‘double happiness’
