    306 | [Healing Series] Money and Worth with Marta Isabella Sierra Cifuentes, LMHC

    For our last episode before our summer break, we’re talking about adoptees and money! Marta Isabella Sierra Cifuentes, LMHC is back and teaching us all about money, worthiness, the obvious commodification of children, the basics. Marta said it best in this episode, ”if you're adopted, it's not even about the money. It's about belonging, respect, feeling seen, feeling acknowledged, mattering to the other people and equality.”

    305 | Maria Diemar and Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom

    We have two incredible adoptee activists with us today. Maria Diemar and Lisa Wool-Rim Sjöblom, both adopted in Sweden, joined up to elevate adoptee causes in some very impactful ways. Maria is the subject of Lisa’s latest graphic novel, The Excavated Earth, which exposes a horrific story of how thousands of Chilean babies were literally kidnapped and stolen to be sold for adoption to Sweden and many other countries. You won’t believe some of the shocking details that Maria and Lisa share with us today. Lisa also shares a few thoughts with us on the findings of the South Korean Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

    304 | Dr. Michele Merritt

    Today’s guest is Dr. Michele Merritt - a philosophy professor who’s coined the new term Adoptism to describe the ways adoptees are marginalized. Michele shares some of her personal story, including the curiosity she always had about where she came from. We discuss what led her to start critiquing adoption publicly and the barriers to publishing these critiques that some academic journals put in place, like the classic, “I know one adoptee and they don’t feel that way”. We do mention suicide during this conversation, so please take care when deciding if this a safe episode for you to listen to.

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.

How much is fiction, how much is actual history?

Podcasts were recommended by my therapist. I chose the subject adoptees to listen to because I'm 47 years old, adopted as an infant, and am trying to FINALLY feel comfortable in my own skin. I don't know who I am because of adoption and abuse, but despite my adoption issues I LOOK LIKE an intelligent capable person. I hide my pain very well but I'm tired of doing "the act" I learned at a young age to appease my adopters who refused to acknowledge ANY feelings I had.

Anyways...I just want to say thank you for doing this and making these Podcasts available to help me. it just might save my life because I'm really struggling right now. Thank you ♡

I'm new

Staying silent is what enables the system to continue the stigma of adoptees and this podcast tells the real stories of how adoptees are silenced and indoctrinated to serve at the whims of the adults around them.

Thank you for not staying silent
