NOT a feel good podcast about being adopted
We’re the not-so-feel-good show about adoption (coming out of the fog)
We are 3 people with 3 very different experiences of being adopted. In this podcast we deconstruct the romanticism holding up the adoption industry and expose the lies, abuse, and pain that get silenced. We’re here to unwrap the shiny bow around adoption and speak our truths as adoptees. In doing so, we explain what it means and what it feels like to “come out of the fog”.
WARNING: This is NOT a feel good podcast about adoption.
A little bit about our adoption backgrounds:
- Lia: Black, same race, domestic adoptee, not adopted at birth, also entered the foster system
- Dr. Noelle: transracial adoptee (Black American adopted by a white family), adoptive parents divorced
- Tosha: same race, African American, domestic adoptee, the only one of her siblings that got adopted
