If Avery Chambers can’t fix you in 10 sessions, she won’t take you on as a client. Her successes are phenomenal—she helps people overcome everything from domineering parents to assault—and almost absorbs the emptiness she sometimes feels since her husband’s death. Marissa and Mathew Bishop seem like the golden couple—until Marissa cheats. She wants to repair things, both because she loves her husband and for the sake of their eight-year-old son. After a friend forwards an article about Avery, Marissa takes a chance on this maverick therapist.

Mundane, trivial, lengthy & boring, waited hours for something to happen. The narrators did a great job though.

How much is fiction, how much is actual history?
Revisado: 10-09-21
As an adoptee and atheist, I struggle with understanding how much is fiction and how much is actual history in regards to Christianity in general and adoption in Christianity.

On today’s episode, we welcome the show’s first mother-daughter DUO! Join us as we welcome adoptee, Corrie, and her mother, Diana, to the show and chat about what it means to adopt, and be adopted. How does Corrie find harmony in feeling both blessed for the life she has and curious for the life she could have had? Does Diana feel guilty about taking Corrie from her birth country? How is Corrie’s memory of her childhood different from her mother’s memories of it? Does motherhood feel different when you’re an adoptive parent? We get into all of those juice topics, AND MORE, so tune in...

Teigerring word choices
Revisado: 10-09-21
This episode has been triggering, due to certain word choices which is often used by the adoption industry, APs or adoptees who're still in the fog: "chosen" , "lucky", "grateful", "blessed", "fortunate", etc. The episode also feels "foggy" and superficial.
There was no acknowledgment whatsoever about the unethical parts about adoption/international adoption.
Also: the adoption experience within the adoptive family has nothing to do with adoption/relinquishment trauma, being critical about the unethical parts, and the power-imbalance in adoption.
The adoptee and her adoptive mother sounded extremely "foggy" (in denial about the real impact adoption has on adoptees and birth mothers).
Adoptees can have a good experience within their adoptive families AND acknowledge that adoption's highly problematic and unethical the way it is right now. In order to help a child, there's no need to erase a child's identity (changing its name, falsifying its birth certificate, hiding information, sealing records) and cutting the child off from its genetic roots, culture and nationality. Not to mention the money and corruption that has been involved in the US and international adoptions for years ...
Corrie should refrain from being an advocate for adoptees for now, cause she sounds like she's still deep in the fog and lacks expertise.

Why are you promoting adoption propaganda?
Revisado: 10-06-21
Adoption's not a win-win, and you should know that by now, instead of regurgitating adoption propaganda.Sometimes you both sound like you're still in the "fog" ... or that you're being afraid of the opinions or reactions of your adoptive members that listen to your podcast.
Yes, you can be grateful and still acknowledge issues and trauma which are related to ypur adoption. But it's definitely not a win-win for adoptees and birth mothers ...

Lori shares openly what we as birth moms say in silence, “Reunion is Hard”. Lori’s journey shares her desires of her heart of being in reunion with her child. Lori is a champion in helping birth moms steer through the obstacles and “roller coaster emotional rides” of being a birth mom.

Love = Loss
- De NP en 10-01-21
Love = Loss
Revisado: 10-01-21
As an adoptee I have issues with the "love" narrative so many birth moms are telling. Love may what you have felt, I don't doubt that a bit. And you surely did what you thought was in the "best" interest of your child with the (lack of) information you had back then in regards to what adoption really does to you and your child.
But: many adoptees will always connect love with loss, and birth moms still justify relinquishing their child in the name of "love". It's actually quite damaging and confusing for adoptees to know they were given up because they were "loved". It's a form of gaslighting (even with good intentions). Yes, you love your child. But telling your child you loved him/her/they so much that you gave up on them, is extremely damaging & confusing.
Also: there's often a lack of honesty among birth mothers: if you really wanna do "real talk", then you should also acknowledge that relinquishing your child was also about your and your families' selfishness. Besides the adverse situation you were in, you and your families had other plans and dreams for you at the time, so as a result you relinquished your child. You did it not just because you "loved" your child so much ...
Stop making heroes out of birth moms. Yes, they experienced trauma as well, and society should finally acknowledge that, but relinquishing a child isn't a noble thing, it's extremely damaging for us adoptees and we have life-long issues because of it.
Besides adoptees, birth mothers and adoptive parents have their own trauma but they're also perpetrators by participating in creating life-long suffering for another human being.

My pastor and his wife agreed to open themselves to a conversation about adoption. The fact that they acknowledge the trauma adoptees face was so validating. Adoptees need the support of their adoptive families, this couple is a beautiful example of what that support looks like.Click here to send us a text.

Disappointing episode
Revisado: 09-01-21
I usually love this podcast! As an adoptee, I cringed half of this episode though. I appreciate that Ben & Alisha acknowledged the loss, pain and struggles of those who're involved in adoption.
But I didn't appreciate Alisha's attitude & language regarding adoption. No, a fake birth certificate isn't the same as a real one. And adoptees usually don't wanna hear that they're a "gift" to their adoptive parents, even though they may feel like that. It's just inappropriate and painful. Adoptees are neither a gift nor a commodity. And Alisha's mentioning of that "it's not normal to leave your child" when she talked about biological mothers ...but doesn't want to "bad-mouth" is telling, cause she actually did bad-mouth biological mothers with that. One could argue that it's "not normal" either to take a stranger's child and pretend it's yours ...
In order to help a child, there's no need to alter a child's identity and falsify its birth certificate.
There were several other word choices Alisha made where I literally flinched.
Ben seems more aware of the trauma and impact adoption has and that his sons have more than one set of parents, without having the need of using ill-informed & cringe-worthy adoption language.
