“Every stranger to a stranger is kin.” Imru al-Qays

The short quote above, from an Arabic poem, was written 500 years before the Quran, and speaks to our long held notions on connection and inclusivity. The term, outsider, has profound and multiple meanings today, in physical and intrapsychic ways. Adoptees can feel like outsiders; as though they don’t belong to, or are not accepted in the same way as others.
