The Anna Jinja Show
The Anna Jinja show focuses on the stories, issues, and questions connected to adoption and foster care experiences.
The host is an international adoptee with biological roots in Korea and adopted roots in the United States. As you can imagine, her journey and experiences as a transracial adoptee are multifaceted. Her experiences have been with the pain of discrimination and rejection as well as the joys of self-discovery and learning to embrace all aspects of her identity.
Along the way, she has discovered that she is not alone. We’re all – in some ways – adopted into or out of homes, cultures, communities, and relationships as we grow and evolve. This show illuminates the theme of adoption, in all ways, in our lives. And how those experiences create who we are and who we are yet to be.
Her hope is that through engaging with the guests and creative content, we are welcomed home in this world, cradled in the belief that we belong, that we are worthy, and that we are loved.
So stay tuned, and you may discover your own adoption story.

If you’d ask me
And say pretty please
Sweet as honey
I’d say, I’m still learning
I’d say, I’m still learning
Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you’d strike me, Cause a silly scene, Rough and grumpy
I’d say, you’re still learning, I’d say, you’re still learning
The powers told me to go to hell, I asked if they’d be there, they said, “No,” so I will
Hey! Hey! Hey!
The puppets told me to go to hell, I asked if they’d be there, they said, “No,” so I will
Hey! Hey! Hey!
The Trumpets told me to go to hell, I asked if they’d be there, they said, “No,” so I…
Hey… hey…
But if you’d kiss me
And give me a squeeze
If you’d kiss me
I’d say, how bout another?
I’d say, how bout another?
