  • Let's Chat! Ft. Liza Mei Stone
    This week we share an interview we had the privilege of doing with Liza Mei Stone, podcast host of, “I’m Adopted, Now What?”. We dive into the complexities of dealing with our identities and its impact on how we move around in the world from the food we choose to order at restaurants to how we decide to decorate our homes. Connecting to our birth countries and culture as adoptees presents unique challenges and in this episode Liza shares with us how she has worked to accept herself, find happiness, and continue her healing journey of embracing being an adoptee. Sit back, and enjoy! Be sure to check out her podcast too!

  • #stopasianhate
    **Trigger Warning** We will be talking about fetishization of Asian women, racism, sexism, and the Atlanta, Georgia shooting.
    It’s Libby and I today, reflecting on the tragic shooting in Georgia. We are going to have an uncomfortable talk about the events that happened, possible motives, our reactions, and how we are feeling now. Without spoiling too much about the episode, when we can tell you is that our hearts are heavy, we are angry, sad, frustrated, and scared.
    If there are younger listeners with you, you may want to listen to this episode first.
    We understand this episode and the shooting can be triggering, if you feel you need to talk to a professional please do. Libby and I are here and extend our love and support to those who need it, but we aren’t professionals.
    Suicide Hotline is 800-273-8255.

  • 18. Cultural Disappointment with Lia Stapinski

    Sit back and get ready to listen to this episode with Korean American adoptee Lia Stapinski. In this conversation she shares with us her experience growing up and what it’s like trying to navigate her birth culture as an adoptee. She also dives into what exactly cultural disappointment can feel like as an adoptee as she shares insight on her personal experiences and thoughts.

    I am also introducing to the AMW community formally for the first time my new small business! I have a passion for jewelry making, particularly silversmithing at this moment. Check out my Instagram for some unique, adoptee-made pieces!

  • Teddy & Simon
    **Trigger Warning: Brief mention of the Holocaust 34:50- 35:43**
    We welcome 2021 but with some important acknowledgements. In reference to the horrific events on January 6, 2021, at the US Capitol, AMW condemns white supremacy, violence, and hate. It is important that we are publicly sharing our value of accepting others. If AMW does not mention an important topic, please let us know and we will do our best to share the word with you!
    To further kick off this year, we are with our very first international guest who is a domestic adoptee from the UK. He is also an adoption coach; you can find a link to his website below. In this episode, Simon shares how his teddy bear pivoted him in a new direction. He shares what he has learned over fourteen years of learning about adoption and what he can do now. Simon’s insight on identity and self is for everyone: Adoptive Parents (AP’s), adoptees, and those who are simply curious.

  • Responding to Common Questions & Comments
    This week Libby and I are tackling how we respond to common questions and comments we get as adoptees. Knowing how to respond can be difficult. Sometimes we are not in a headspace where we want to talk about our adoption and would rather find an out, or we feel we are ready to share that part of our identity. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, both are valid. Hopefully you find this episode useful, share with us your responses! We’d love to hear what you have to say.
