Today we have an adoptee who was a guest on episode 50 where we discussed the dangers of calling adoption a blessing. Sara Easterly is an adoptee, essayist, and author of books that include Adoption Unfiltered: Revelations from Adoptees, Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents, and Allies, and award-winning spiritual memoir, Searching for Mom. She is the founder of Adoptee Voices, which supports adoptees in their storytelling. She is also a trained course facilitator with the Neufeld Institute, with special interest in the intersection of attachment, child development, brain science, and adoption.
We discuss:
- Check in on her book tours for Adoption Unfiltered (I make a cameo in this book!)
- The feeling of rejection for adoptees
- How she found her book collaborators
- Sara’s reunion with her biological family
- The corruption in adoption
- The new excuse to hold onto adoption narrative
