    This is the Episode You've been Waiting For!

    This is the episode we’ve been waiting to talk about. On Relative Race Season 17, Episode 6, after decades of searching, wondering, and hitting dead ends, Jeremy finally comes face to face with the person he’s spent years trying to find. In this episode, Jeremy and David sit down to unpack it all: what was going through Jeremy’s head in the moments before the door opened, what didn’t make it on camera, and what it actually feels like when a lifelong question finally gets an answer. David shares what it was like to be standing right there for it, and we talk about what this moment means for our family on every side of the story. Whether you’re adopted, an adoptive or birth parent, or just someone who’s ever wondered where you came from, this one’s for you. Family is everywhere.

    This week on Adopted Reality Jeremy and David recap episodes one and two of their season on Relative Race, the show that sent them out to track down a piece of Jeremy's biological family.

But this one isn't just about the show. We slow down and let you get to know Jeremy and David a little better as people, not just as cousins on a reality TV journey, so you understand where they're each coming from as we keep unpacking what it means when family is everywhere. If you want a shorter version for something like a YouTube description or Spotify preview line, here's a trimmed take: Jeremy and David recap episodes one and two of Relative Race, sharing behind-the-scenes moments from filming and getting a little more personal about who they are outside the show.
