Conversations About Adoption

By: Jenn Adoptee
  • Summary

  • Hi! My name is Jen and I am an adoptee! I searched and found my first family in 2001. My mother had been deceased since 1982. :( Since then I have become very vocal about the flaws in the adoption system. Back in 2016 I got the idea to start a podcast about adoption from the adoptee perspective, but I hade no idea what I was doing so it didn't really get off the ground. I still don't really know what I am doing, but I love talking to adoptees and first parents about their experiences. They are always interesting conversations about adoption, and I hope you like them too. Please subscribe! Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/convosaboutadoption/support

  • S4 #44 Adoptee Brian
    May 3 2024

    **Trigger warning** We do talk about some triggering subjects such as sexual assault and child abuse, please be aware of that in case these subjects will trigger you. I had a delightful conversation with Brian an adoptee I met at the Untangling Our Roots Summit in Kentucky last year. He was the emcee at the 2024 summit which just happened in Denver last weekend!


    He is an actor and he writes plays. His solo show play "Blank" referred to the space on his original birth certificate where he didn't have a name. He performed it all around the country. Just before the pandemic hit he was supposed to premier his second play @atghostkingdom, but alas that was put to a stop when lock down happened, so he got creative again and turned it into a film he recorded on his iPhone! He showed that film at the summit last year, and I was so moved by it. I believe any adoptee can find something to relate to in it.

    I asked him about possibly doing a zoom event where we show the film, and do a Q & A with him after, (TBA).

    You can watch Brian's film @atghostkingdom here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/ghostkingdom

    He can be found on Facebook as Brian Stanton
