502: Exploring the Full Range of Adoptee Emotions
Early in my adoptive parenting days, when my kids were first becoming able to talk about their adoptedness and continuing through their adolescence, I was on alert for signs that adoption had hurt them. I’d been listening to adult adoptees and I knew that...

Customer Reviews
A both-and podcast
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!
Adotption: The Long View 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 !
Open adoption
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!!!
