Our expert series is where we bring in an expert and not just cover their subject matter, but also answer your burning questions about their specialty.

Liz Pittman was adopted by her parents from Thailand as a young child. Liz, a Virginia Tech graduate, cohosts the Wait, I'm Adopted? Podcast where she and her cohost unpack adoption from the adoptee's perspective. 

For me, if ANYONE is going to listen to just one episode of the podcast, this is it. I call myself an adoption advocate and as one, this is an episode that I know I personally will go back to for years to come as I raise adoptees and I hope one day my children get to listen to it.

If you have adopted, are adopting, know someone that is adopted, or may at some point in your life encounter someone who is adopted (we spend a chunk of time on what NOT to ever say) this is an episode for you. 

Liz and I talked about the primal wound of adoption, we talked what childhood and adolescence is like for an adoptee. We talked the struggles of adoption from an adoptees perspective. We talked about the beauty of adoption and how that beauty is simply family. And we talked about the love. Because that is what adoption really and truly is.
