Unlocking Identity: Late Discovery Adoptee episodes

  • Episode 8: In conversation with Ridghaus Pt. 2

    I am joined in conversation with my friend and fellow LDA, Ridghaus in part 2 of this 2 part episode. We talk about how discovery impacts relationships, why "adoption is beautiful" is a problematic platitude, implications of adoption as an industry and the ways that being an LDA has impacted our parenting.

  • Episode 7: In conversation with Ridghaus

    I am joined in conversation with my friend and fellow LDA, Ridghaus in part 1 of this 2 part episode. We talk about life, transitions, names, parenthood within discovery and just the various nuances of what this experience is like. 

    Poem we discuss: 

    On Children

    And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

         And he said:
         Your children are not your children.
         They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.
         They come through you but not from you,
         And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

    You may give them your love but not your thoughts,

         For they have their own thoughts.
         You may house their bodies but not their souls,
         For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
         You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
         For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
         You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
         The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far.
         Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
         For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.
