Mind Your Own Karma–The Adoption Chronicles Podcast educates listeners on the realities of adoption through the stories of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We delve into their journeys, exploring identity, the emotional impacts of adoption, and the complexities that are involved when a child is removed from their biology. We also tackle tough topics like transracial adoption and adoption ethics, featuring experts and advocates. By sharing these diverse perspectives we hope to not only educate the world, but also give hope and healing to those deeply affected by adoption trauma.

***This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me.

This story may not be for everyone! Russell Girten is an adoptee whose birth certificate was issued 9 days after he was born. He first was told that he was adopted at age 23, and when he began to tell his family and friends he was adopted, the common response was “I’m so glad they finally told him!”

Russell didn’t have a strong desire to meet his biological family, but when he was 56, a close match on 23andMe led him to them and unlocked the story of his biological roots. It helped him reframe his story and exposed him to the reality he was adopted from.

Although Russell’s adoptive parents provided him with many of the things necessary for him to bloom, his story includes

Although there are challenges with the impact of his adoption and his life journey, Russell couldn’t be happier that

Welcome to the podcast! Meet Danielle Bruesch. Danielle was born July of 1968 in Reno, NV. She was in foster care for 4 months before being placed with her adoptive parents in Las Vegas NV. She grew up knowing she was adopted and was told she was chosen and special.

At age 25, she accidentally found some identifying information in some medical records regarding  her biological mother, and the search was on with lots of twists and turns along the way. Danielle currently lives in central NV, is 55 years old and, has 5 daughters, 1 bonus daughter and 2 granddaughters. She has been married for 4 years and can be found most days on the back of a horse working cattle with her husband.

Donna is a transracial adoptee, born in the UK and raised there by a white family with lots of fostered children. While she was the only black child, all the children were from different backgrounds and were equally loved. While not emotionally close to her adoptive parents growing up, Donna has always felt their unconditional love. 

Trauma still came her way, and Donna thinks she may have had less trauma if she hadn't kept quiet about traumatic events that happened to her during childhood.

Donna has been slowly peeling the layers to her truth for 50 years. Learning to be a speaker led to her first talk about her adoption, and in 2020 she set up her Searching For Truth Podcast, doing interviews about various topics that touch on her own experiences.

Donna also wrote a short memoir called "Lost and Found," published in the anthology The New Woman by Ritu Sharma in 2021.

Now in Dominica with her husband and Son, Donna has experienced the most extraordinary challenges that she now believes are lined with incredible gifts for her healing and expansion.
