 Welcome to I’m Adopted, Now What? A podcast for those who want to redefine what it means to be adopted, one chat at a time. If you love talking about feelings, self development, and self discovery, if you want to discuss race, culture, and identity, if you ask yourself, Who Am I? What Is My Identity? Why Haven’t I Figured This Out Yet?… Then you’re in the right place, because adopted or not, we all ask ourselves these universal questions. So, are you ready to get real, get deep, and figure out… now what? Join me and let’s find out together!All rights reserved Ciencias Sociales

    Welcome to the Shitshow: Getting Personal on Power, Politics, and Being A Parent
    Nov 19 2024
    In this debut episode, I’m just laying it all out there—because, honestly, where do we even start? From the nightmare of denaturalization (seriously, who thought that was a good idea?) to the endless attacks on abortion rights, it’s clear: men in power are obsessed with control, and it’s exhausting. This is less of a polished talk (and advanced apologies for any gaffs in editing/sound... I'm a bit rusty) and more of a brain dump about how the current political chaos is impacting families, women, and anyone who isn’t straight, white, and male. Adoption doesn’t exist in a bubble, and this political climate shapes the way we think about identity, rights, and belonging. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, pissed off, or just plain tired of the constant attacks on basic human rights and the less-than-milk-toast news coverage of it—this one’s for you. Let’s vent, question, and maybe scream into the void together.

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.
And 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 therefore she isn't able to be aware of all the issues surrounding adoption, that have nothing to do with the adoption experience within the adoptive family.
