Defining Diego is the story of one Guatemalan adoptee and his mother, a reporter who documented their journey from his earliest steps, as they try to understand how international adoption boomed and busted, and what it all means for families like theirs, with feet in two worlds. When Laurie Stern set out to adopt a baby from Guatemala in 1999, she thought the process would be pretty straightforward. Lots of people were doing it. But the adoption was held up just as she went to Guatemala to get her son, Diego. That began a journey of discovery. What unfolds is the story of why international adoption peaked — and then collapsed — in Guatemala. It is also the story of how Diego, now 24, learned to be a Maya man with deep roots both in his birth village and Minnesota, where he still lives. Now, Diego has questions about his adoption, too — like why tiny Guatemala was such a popular choice for many adoptive parents in the U.S. and Europe in the early 2000s. As one of more than 50,000 Guatemalan adoptees, Diego’s still figuring out what it means to be Guatemalan, American, indigenous Tzutujil, and an adoptee raised by white parents in St. Paul, Minnesota. At its heart, Defining Diego is a deeply personal narrative: of a mother and son grappling with big questions about identity and health, and the meaning of home and family. Using 20+ years of the family’s archive recordings, we hear Diego grow up — and begin his own journey of self-discovery Defining Diego is part of The Binge - subscribe to listen to all episodes, all at once, ad-free right now.

I have really enjoyed listening to your podcast. I have worked in post adoption services for three decades, watching adoption unfold around the world. Listening to adoptees tell their stories. I appreciate the effort you put into telling your story, which no doubt overlaps the stories of many international adoptees. Thank you for being a voice, an important voice, in this conversation.

WHITE SAVIOR COMPLEX
Exploitive
18/10/2023
I really tried with season two of this podcast. While it reveals a complex and charged picture of international adoption and how this came to be in Guatemala. But this adoptive mom/host is extremely exploitive. HOW can you bring mics into these peoples lives and ask sure cruel questions “do you think of Diego as your son?????” Recording isobels grief and trauma are you kidding me!!! This is no different than the facilitators having women who literally can not read documents giving up their babies. I really hope the hosts look at these reviews everyone is commenting on the same thing. The recording of every single moment for decades makes it seem like you set out to make Diego a journalistic project his whole life not a human. Deeply shocked by this.
