    Adoption, Identity & the Stories That Change Everything

    Adoption is one of the most personal and complex conversations shaping families today. In this episode of The Family Table, Jodi sits down with Lilia Garr to talk about adoption—not as a headline or a cultural talking point, but as a lived experience. Lilia shares her own adoption story and how it has shaped her identity, her perspective, and her passion for creating change through her new project, Adopting Change. Together, they explore the evolving narrative around adoption, including the growing emphasis on trauma and the tension between acknowledging hard realities and recognizing the redemptive beauty adoption can hold. This conversation dives into:    •    How adoption shapes identity and belonging    •    What adoptees wish adoptive parents better understood    •    The cultural shift in how adoption is discussed today    •    How we can hold space for both truth and redemption    •    Encouragement for adoptive families and young adoptees navigating their own stories At a time when adoption is often framed through a single lens, this episode invites a more honest, compassionate, and complete conversation—one that makes room for both brokenness and hope. Pull up a chair. There’s a seat for you at the table!
