Adoptees Crossing Lines

Adoption, Privilege, and the Stories We Tell w/ Patrick Armstrong


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the complexities of adoption, privilege, and the narratives that shape our understanding of family. Through personal stories and critical reflections, we unpack the ways in which adoption is often framed as an unquestionable good while overlooking the systemic issues at play.
