Bonus: Adoptees for Family Preservation

/

It’s finally time to tell you that I’ve been working on a brand new podcast for the last year and I continue to do so. It’s a gigantic project! I’m so excited to be creating this for you, for our community and beyond. It’s called On Adoption, and it’s an investigative series that uncovers the stories adoption agencies rarely tell: what expectant mothers face, how families are separated, and what happens to the children who grow up as adoptees. This is adoption examined from the inside out, by those of us who have lived it. I’ve spent the last seven months interviewing mothers who have placed their babies for adoption within the last five years. Why just in recent years? I’m combatting the argument that we “used to do adoption this way” but things have changed. Frankly, we may call things by different names, but the lifelong impacts are the same. I believe that true insight into adoption and real systemic change will only come from listening to the most impacted parties, and we’re the ones whose voices are left out of traditional media coverage. The goal of this new investigative series is to change how society sees adoption and to elevate family preservation.

I’ve invited the board of Adoptees for Family Preservation to join in on this conversation and help us do a deep dive of what I’ve been doing and how you can be involved.
