    Today's guest is Dr. David McCarty-Caplan, a researcher, consultant and a Colombian-born adoptee. After becoming a father himself, David began searching for his biological family, leading to a reunion with his mother and siblings in Colombia — an experience that deepened both his personal journey and his professional research. We talk about his scholarship, including how families and communities can better support adoptees in developing a stronger sense of belonging.

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
