Mind Your Own Karma-Beyond The Bandage

S3E5 - WHEN TALKING ABOUT YOUR ADOPTION IS TABOO. INTERVIEW WITH ADOPTEE DAVID LANG


Listen Later

David is a 62-year-old retired Teamster that has been married for 37 years.  He has three children and one grandson. 

David was a baby scoop era adoptee, born in 1961 and placed

with his adopted parents when he was one month old.  Talking about his adoption was totally off limits, and this created a lot of confusion about his roots. 

He began searching when he was 34 years old.  It turned out his biological parents did get married and were still together.  They seemed less than thrilled that David contacted them because David had been kept a secret from everyone in his biological family.

It wasn’t until his biological father died in 2017 that the secret was finally revealed, and he was able to have a relationship with his full biological siblings and extended family.


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

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!!
