In this episode of Planet Adoptee, we take a closer look at the 2002 animated film Lilo & Stitch—a story that hits differently when you're adopted. From Lilo’s grief and isolation to Stitch’s chaotic journey to find belonging, this episode explores how two misfits, both dealing with abandonment in their own ways, find comfort, connection, and family in each other. It’s not just a cute Disney movie—it’s a deeply adoptee-coded story about being chosen when you feel unlovable, and the quiet power of being kept.
