Coming Out of the Fog issue 1

Steve Watson — Thu, 04 May 2023 11:10:12 +0000

A personal and powerful magazine made by Zoe Lowdermilk-Oppenheim, Coming Out of the Fog reflects on her own experience as a British woman who was adopted from China as a result of the one-child policy. Beginning with her own observations, Zoe develops the subject by interviewing a group of other adoptees, focusing on the identity dilemmas of trans-racial adoptees in general, and more specifically on the contradictions and challenges faced by British women who were given up at birth in China.

In this issue:

An intimate portrait of life after the one-child policy
Identity and trans-racial adoptees
Considering the role of birth parents, and the likelihood of finding them
The unreliable narratives surrounding adoptees’ infancy
And the struggle to accept the circumstances of birth, without being defined by it
