“Proud to see them fire back,” tweeted Lisa Malone in response to a post about a mom’s answer to the offensive and racist comments directed at her adopted Chinese daughters.
Malone is the co-host of Insights on PRN Radio and herself an adoptee from South Korea.

Lisa recently told her story as an adoptee on the Progressive Radio Network.
“It was the people outside my family that made it very clear that I was not the same,” said Malone. “I looked very different. I was of a different ethnicity than my family.”

An incident that happened when Lisa was just six-year during summer camp is still vivid in her mind.
“My earliest memory, they were doing roll call. They called, Malone, Elizabeth.”
Lisa of course responded.
“The lady said to me, no, we’re looking for Malone. That’s me and she gave me that look…Why would she not believe me that that’s me?…
“See I wasn’t crazy. Everyone is looking at me and staring at me because I was different.”
You can hear Lisa’s story in the audio clip below.
