February 15, 2024 The Water is Crystal Clear
For so many siblings, their first vacations are so memorable. No matter if it was a trip to Disney World, The Grand Canyon, or to their Grandparents' house, those childhood trips can spark laughs and fond memories for a lifetime. As a adoptees, we do not always have the opportunity to create these moments with our siblings. We weren't able to take childhood road trips or flights to international destinations together. However, as adult adoptees who have connected with one another; we've been intentional with building our relationship, creating our own traditions, and making memories to last a lifetime. Joins us on a trip down memory lane, as we discuss our first vacation together.

February 01, 2024 Where are my Barbies?
Every adoption story is different. Whether you were adopted at birth, a member of a kinship adoption, or a Late Discovery Adoptee (LDA), every story is unique. No two adoptees share the same experiences nor react the same way to the news of their adoption. So what happens when an inquisitive little brown skin girl asks her parents, "Am I adopted"? How do you even begin to respond to a question like that? What happens next? Is your cup empty? If so, it won't be for long, because it is about to filled with piping HOT tea. Join us at the Firepit with our special guest Ms. Tarcia Smith, founder and host of The Adoption Journey Podcast, as she shares her adoption story.

January 18, 2024 No Talk Boy
Welcome back to the Firepit! We are excited to begin Season 2! Question, what traditions did you have growing up? What traditions have you created while being an adult? In this episode we dive into traditions that we've experienced as children. Have you ever thought about what it would be like meeting a sibling as an adult? And what it might be like having to adjust to each other's traditions? We don't always think about the little things we have to do while getting to know each other. But we invite you to take a seat at the pit and get to know some of our traditions, both old and new. So grab your drink.....and y'all know the rest.
