***WARNING!!! THIS EPISODE DISCUSSES CHILD ABUSE, MENTAL ILLNESS AND ADOPTION TRAUMA.

Rick Feltner is an adoptee that was placed in the foster care system at about 2 years old, and was later adopted at about age 6. Why was he taken away from his birth family at that age? What happened? These were the questions that Rick had brought to the podcast in his first interview earlier this season. Between then and now, Rick received a letter that brought to light what had only existed in the shadows, and he shares that discovery with us today on the podcast.

If you or someone you know would like to tell their adoption story on the podcast (anyone in the adoptee constellation), please send an email to [email protected], and your story will be considered for the podcast.

Due to the LONG-LASTING EMOTIONAL FALLOUT that can be part of adoption, I highly support the GENTLE HEALING SUPPORT of SMGI: Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery. For more information on this groundbreaking and highly successful method, go to ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠

Please seek professional help if you find yourself struggling with some of the realizations that you may experience during this episode.

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. I love to help fellow adoptees by helping to promote your latest project or expertise. It's time WE educate the world!!
