This Korean Adoptee Candidly Shares Her Struggles on Relationships, Mental Health & Parenthood

<p>This interview with Korean Adoptee, Sarah Clifton, was conducted by Kyle &amp; Travis Balitz, during the summer of 2020 and was originally released through the Gide Foundation, which is now known as The Adoptee Group. &nbsp;The interview is now re-released through KADStories.com. Sarah, who resides in New Mexico came to visit us here in Minnesota. We believe this interview was so candidly informative and know many adoptees will relate to her struggles in relationships, abuse, self-harm, mental health and raising children. We also want to note here at KADStories, we aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental platform for adoptees to speak out and we ask our viewers to please respect other people's honest stories, opinions, and struggles. &nbsp;Currently Sarah has seemingly found a more healthier partner and has an improved relationship with her daughters, although admittedly still struggles. Perhaps someday we may do a follow up interview with her.</p> <p><br></p> <p>-</p> <p><br></p> <p>YouTube Video Can Be Viewed Here:</p> <p>https://youtu.be/yir7hmqIR4I</p> <p><br></p> <p>~</p> <p><br></p> <p>Key Topics Covered:</p> <p><br></p> <p>0:14 - Intro</p> <p>0:51 - Childhood &amp; Adoptive Family</p> <p>1:37 - School &amp; Bullying</p> <p>3:33 - Birth Family Search</p> <p>4:08 - Mental Health Struggles</p> <p>4:52 - Abuse &amp; Relationship with Family</p> <p>6:00 - Relationship Patterns</p> <p>7:40 - Having Children &amp; Parenthood</p> <p>8:20 - Depression &amp; Substance Use</p> <p>9:43 - Losing Custody of Kids &amp; Mental Health Issues</p> <p>10:46 - Hospitalization</p> <p>12:35 - Jobs &amp; Dreams</p> <p>13:45 - Birth Family Records</p> <p>14:35 - Korean Culture Camps</p> <p>15:05 - Korean Adoptee Groups</p> <p>15:40 - Advice &amp; Happiness</p> <p>16:38 - Going to Korea &amp; More Birth Records</p> <p><br></p> <p>~</p> <p><br></p> <p>KONNECT with our KADS:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sarah Clifton:</p> <p><br></p> <p>FaceBook:&nbsp;</p> <p>https://www.facebook.com/1977UnicornFarts</p> <p><br></p> <p>~</p> <p><br></p> <
