In this episode of the Empowered Adoptee Podcast, we sit down with Mike Malloy to explore the complexities and truths behind adoption stories. Mike opens up about his personal adoption journey, sharing insights into the nuanced and often overlooked layers that go beyond the simplistic narrative of "black and white." He discusses how his experiences have shaped his understanding of identity, belonging, and the importance of embracing the full spectrum of our stories as adoptees.

Mike also shares his time volunteering with the Holt Adoption Agency, offering a unique perspective on how adoption agencies function and how they shape the lives of adoptees. Together, we delve into the truths, challenges, and healing processes that many adoptees experience, offering inspiration and clarity for those navigating their own adoption stories.

Join us for an honest and heartfelt conversation that highlights the importance of truth-telling, understanding, and empowerment within the adoptee community.
