What Does Adoption Look Like? Breaking Stereotypes w/ Jonah Nigh
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of The Fawcett Report, I sit down with my new friend Jonah Nigh, adoptee, fundraising executive, and powerful comedian, to talk about what adoption really looks like. Jonah shares his experience growing up Asian in a white family and the painful assumptions people made about his story. We dig into the ignorance, the stereotypes, and the moments that leave a lasting mark, like being told “you don’t look adopted.” Also, I share my own experience as an adoptive parent, including the summer camp moment that reminded me just how much work we still have to do. This is an honest conversation about race, identity, and owning your story, no matter what people assume. If you’ve ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or judged by appearances, this one’s for you.
