The act of adoption is inherently uncomfortable and other stuff

On this week’s episode, Patrick rings in the new year with a solo conversation about the adoptee experience, specifically, our comfort — and discomfort — with the conversations around adoption. He talks about the inherent discomfort that permeates the act of adoption and the dynamic between the stories we, as adoptees, want to tell and the stories people want to hear. Super fun!
