250 | [Healing Series] Pet Loss and Grief If you’ve been around the show for a while, you may remember that almost exactly one year ago Haley said goodbye to her dog, Lucy. We had so many people reach out during that time who had also lost a pet companion and so we started this conversation as a community about how especially weighty the grief can be for an adopted person. Today’s guest is Laura Summers, LMFT, an adoptee and therapist, and we are talking how pet loss is a form of disenfranchised grief. Laura holds my hand through this challenging conversation about how dear our pets can be to us, and she teaches us how we can move through grief in a way that honours ourselves instead of trying to get to a finish line of feeling “fine”.

The podcast where adoptees discuss the adoption experience. This is not the usual adoption talk. You will find real, raw, and deep feelings addressed in these interviews. No sugar-coating here! Come and laugh, cry, learn and heal with us.Adult adoptees share stories of search, reunion, and secondary rejection. Adoptees On also curates recommended resources to encourage and educate the adoption community about adoptee issues.

I found this podcast after I met both of my biological parents, which led to my crashing out of the fog. This show was exactly what I needed at the time: exposure to other adoptee stories, both like and unlike mine. Real adopted people who have been there, been through every situation you can think of and some you had no idea existed.

Adopted people, this show is for you. ❤️

If you were not adopted, but love someone who was, listen with your ears and mind open. You can’t imagine what we’ve been through, but you can learn.

Lifeline out of the fog

This podcast is invaluable for giving voice to adult adoptees. Haley is incredibly gifted at guiding her guest to tell their story in ways that teach and inspire her audience.

Incredible resource and an excellent podcast.

Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA) can be a controversial and uncomfortable subject to broach, but we are exploring the topic today. Today Jane shares her personal experience of a GSA relationship with a sibling and Leslie Pate Mackinnon, LCSW brings her professional expertise to the topic. Some estimates are up to half of all adoptees in reunion feel some sort of attraction to a genetic family member, which Leslie believes is likely a search for attachment. We recommend where to go for support and we try to examine GSA in a safe way, without blame or shame.

We recommend where to go for support and we try to examine GSA in a safe way, without blame or shame. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/s4e5Jane" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Haley Radke: <a href="https://twitter.com/haleyradke" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/haley.radke" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href="https://twitter.com/adopteeson" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> </ul> Subscribe <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&amp;isi=691797987&amp;ius=googleplaymusic&amp;link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Isnzt3yu7bxoxdxyowqbxvk7wam?t%3DAdoptees_On" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Google Play</a> | <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Adoptees-On-Discover-28264488/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> iHeart Radio</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6DHevAi3rn7SfugmlPBSKJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=93562&amp;refid=stpr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stitcher</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc4Ej6Go6AYLl3_T4H2sfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/1776935519281340/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Listener Meet-Up | Write or Die Class on May 20, 2018</a> Support Adoptees On <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=N7YQ9MNDCCYFW" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> One Time Donation</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/partner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monthly</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/partner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monthly Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Send a Note or Record a Voicemail</a>

72 [S4 E10] Alice - Narcissism

Liz Latty is a powerful writer, adoptee advocate, and activist. She shares her story with us and we talk a lot about reunion with our Dads and why we think first fathers often don’t even get a second thought. We dive deep into the complexities of adoption, sexuality, and the seemingly oh-so-common secondary rejection. Liz is incredibly candid about how concerned she was about coming out to her evangelical Christian birth father. We discuss what adoptee activism is and how understanding our own story and experiences as adopted people can be healing and create a passion for action. Liz calls for aligning ourselves with other movements to create systemic change together.     Full Show Notes Here   Connect With Us Haley Radke: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook Adoptees On: Twitter | Instagram | Facebook Monthly Newsletter Send a Note or Record a Voicemail   Subscribe Apple Podcasts |  Google Play |  iHeart Radio | Spotify | Stitcher | YouTube   Support Adoptees On  One Time Donation | Monthly | Secret Facebook Group

In this episode of the healing series, Marta Drachenberg, LMHC, and Haley discuss some personal examples of relationship issues that seem to keep repeating themselves.

Marta teaches us what to look out for, how attachment styles affect our relationships, and how some disagreements with our partners can actually be caused by adoption-issues in disguise. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/hsromantic" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Marta Drachenberg, LMHC: marta.drachenberg [at] gmail [dot] com | <a href="http://martadrachenberglmhc.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://martadrachenberglmhc.com/</a></li> <li>Haley Radke: <a href="https://twitter.com/haleyradke" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/haley.radke" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href="https://twitter.com/adopteeson" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li> </ul> Subscribe <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href="https://goo.gl/app/playmusic?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&amp;isi=691797987&amp;ius=googleplaymusic&amp;link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Isnzt3yu7bxoxdxyowqbxvk7wam?t%3DAdoptees_On" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Google Play</a> | <a href="https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Adoptees-On-Discover-28264488/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> iHeart Radio</a> | <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/6DHevAi3rn7SfugmlPBSKJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Spotify</a> | <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=93562&amp;refid=stpr" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Stitcher</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc4Ej6Go6AYLl3_T4H2sfw" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a> Support Adoptees On <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=N7YQ9MNDCCYFW" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> One Time Donation</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/partner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monthly</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/partner" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Monthly Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Send a Note or Record a Voicemail</a>

71 [Healing Series] Romantic Relationships

Derek Frank tells his story about how the movie Philomena brought his desire, to know where he came from, to the surface. We talk about his reunion with his birth father and siblings and what’s holding him back from connecting with his birth mother. We tackle some deep topics including feeling like "culturally cousins" instead of like siblings, grief, and the importance of art therapy. Ridghaus (from season 3 episode 1) returns and, together with Derek, they share behind-the-scenes of the Six Word Adoption Memoir Project.
