Sydney naci\u00f3 en Tongling, China y ha vivido en Nueva York toda su vida. Tiene una hermana menor que tambi\u00e9n fue adoptada en China. A Sydney siempre le ha encantado cantar y bailar y, como resultado, estudi\u00f3 canto cl\u00e1sico en la escuela secundaria. Cuando era adolescente, Sydney fue aprendiz en Programa de tutor\u00eda para la adopci\u00f3n de Spence-Chapin<\/a>. Se convirti\u00f3 en mentora en 2018 y est\u00e1 entusiasmada de seguir formando conexiones duraderas con los aprendices y apoy\u00e1ndolos en su viaje de adopci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00bfQU\u00c9 TE GUSTAR\u00cdA COMPARTIR SOBRE TU ANTECEDENTES?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Me adoptaron en Tongling, Anhui, China, cuando ten\u00eda 9 meses. Crec\u00ed en Park Slope, Brooklyn y he vivido all\u00ed desde entonces. Actualmente, estoy trabajando para obtener una Maestr\u00eda en Trabajo Social en Hunter College.<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00d3MO COMPARTI\u00d3 SU FAMILIA CON USTED SU HISTORIA DE ADOPCI\u00d3N?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Siempre supe que era adoptada, simplemente por el mero hecho de que mis rasgos f\u00edsicos contrastan con los de mis padres. Tengo piel bronceada, cabello oscuro y ojos casta\u00f1os oscuros, mientras que mis padres son bastante rubios y tienen ojos azules y verdes y cabello rubio. Cuando era m\u00e1s joven, ten\u00eda curiosidad por conocer mi historia de adopci\u00f3n, y cuando ten\u00eda alrededor de 11 o 12 a\u00f1os, mis padres me mostraron mis papeles y documentos de adopci\u00f3n. Fue surrealista verlos porque pude conservar artefactos tangibles de mi pasado adem\u00e1s de los recuerdos que hab\u00eda almacenado en mi mente durante a\u00f1os.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQU\u00c9 MITOS O CONCEPTOS ERR\u00d3NEOS ENCONTR\u00d3 COMO ADOPTADO?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

La pregunta m\u00e1s com\u00fan que me han hecho como adoptado es si extra\u00f1o o no a mis \u201cverdaderos padres\u201d. Como estoy orgulloso de llamarme defensor de mi comunidad, siempre siento la necesidad de aclarar la diferencia entre un padre biol\u00f3gico y un padre real. Mis verdaderos padres son aquellos que me criaron, me amaron y me brindaron un entorno seguro en el que pude prosperar. Por otro lado, mis padres biol\u00f3gicos me crearon, pero no tengo conocimiento sobre ellos. Siempre apreciar\u00e9 su valor en mi vida, pero no los veo como mis verdaderos padres, y hacer esa distinci\u00f3n es importante para m\u00ed.<\/p>\n

\u00bfCU\u00c1NDO SE CONECT\u00d3 AL PROGRAMA DE MENTOR\u00cdA DE SPENCE-CHAPIN?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

me conect\u00e9 a Programa de tutor\u00eda para la adopci\u00f3n de Spence Chapin<\/a> como aprendiz en 2013, cuando estaba en el tercer a\u00f1o de secundaria. Anteriormente hab\u00eda sido parte de otra organizaci\u00f3n comunitaria de adopci\u00f3n y quer\u00eda participar en m\u00e1s actividades relacionadas con la adopci\u00f3n. Tambi\u00e9n fui adoptada a trav\u00e9s de Spence y sent\u00ed que quer\u00eda volver a conectarme con mi agencia de adopci\u00f3n. Tuve que tomarme un descanso del programa cuando fui a la universidad en el norte del estado de Nueva York, pero desde entonces regres\u00e9 como mentor despu\u00e9s de graduarme y mudarme de regreso a la ciudad.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQU\u00c9 GAN\u00d3 AL ESTAR EN EL PROGRAMA DE MENTOR\u00cdA COMO JOVEN ADOPTADO?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Siempre he hablado de mi amor por este Programa porque cambi\u00f3 mi vida de muchas maneras. Me conect\u00e9 m\u00e1s con mi propia identidad al compartir experiencias y establecer v\u00ednculos con otros Mentees y Mentores mayores. Me sent\u00ed como en casa en este programa al estar en una sala saturada de adoptados, cuyas historias son \u00fanicas pero muy similares en innumerables formas. Tambi\u00e9n foment\u00e9 una estrecha conexi\u00f3n con un mentor a quien considero uno de mis modelos a seguir m\u00e1s importantes en la actualidad.<\/p>\n

\u00bfCU\u00c1L HA SIDO TU EXPERIENCIA COMO MENTOR? <\/strong><\/h3>\n

He apreciado mucho el cambio en la experiencia y la novedad que supone ser un Mentor adulto. Estaba nervioso por establecer conexiones con los aprendices, pero me di cuenta de que ellos solo quieren ser escuchados y apreciados por quienes son. Disfrut\u00e9 hablando con ellos sobre sus experiencias de ser adolescentes y, de alguna manera, sent\u00ed que todav\u00eda pod\u00eda identificarme, porque yo era un adolescente no hace mucho. Tambi\u00e9n apreci\u00e9 la amabilidad de los mentorizados y la aceptaci\u00f3n de qui\u00e9n era y sigo siendo. Sent\u00ed que pod\u00eda ser yo mismo con ellos, del mismo modo que ellos se sent\u00edan c\u00f3modos siendo quienes eran a mi alrededor.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQU\u00c9 CONSEJOS COMPARTES CON LOS J\u00d3VENES ADOPTADOS EN EL PROGRAMA DE MENTOR\u00cdA?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cuando veo a un aprendiz luchando o sinti\u00e9ndose deprimido, le digo que tenga paciencia y que est\u00e1 bien no saber siempre lo que est\u00e1 a la vuelta de la esquina. Creo que cuando soy joven, puedo sentir que el mundo est\u00e1 en nuestra contra cuando las cosas no van bien. Siempre me gusta recordarles a los Mentees que las cosas mejorar\u00e1n y que nuestra percepci\u00f3n de nuestras propias vidas impacta en gran medida la forma en que las vivimos.<\/p>\n
