Adoption: The Long View Podcast

I am a 45 yo domestic infant adoptee. I am finally starting to work on healing and understanding how adoption has affected me. I’ve bounced around to several adoption focused podcasts to help me learn and this one is by far the best I’ve come across. The host is amazing; very intelligent, well spoken, and knowledgeable about the subject. It shouldn’t matter that much but she is also a very talented broadcaster. Not to mention also a very effective interviewer. I’ve been working my way through all the episodes and there is not a single one that I haven’t gotten something out of, more often than not, something deeply profound. Her (name eludes me) guests are phenomenal. Every conversation has just been so eye opening and insightful. I often get pretty emotional listening. It’s just amazing, I can’t say enough how great this is. If you’re interested in adoption for any reason, I don’t see how you could possibly not get something out of this.

Lori Holden’s podcast is able to hold ALL the complexities of adoption. Both the joy and the grief. The connection and the severing. Highly recommend this quality adoptee-centered podcast!

I just listened to episode 308 with guest Lynn Brown. I am an adoptive mom but I do not have the added challenge of trans or intra racial adoption. Just listening to Lynn provided and incredible perspective. She is so grounded and I learned much from her. Thank you for sharing Lynn !

As an adoptive mom living open adoptions for 17 years now, it’s refreshing to see other’s perspective as loving and foundational in what I believe as the need to love all people. I have been listening and following Lori for a couple years now and have really enjoyed learning about her story and her wholistic approach to open adoption. Her caring way of listening to and meeting people where they are in their stories is beautiful. Her podcast welcomes all corners of the triad to be heard, seen and valued (three pillars of my beliefs and values). Worth following and listening to!!!
