Adoption: An Illusion of Choice - Ethiopian Adoptees

What this episode covers

Hey hey! In this episode I'll be talking about adoption as an illusion of choice for me, and for many of my Ethiopian adoptee friends. Since I was not able to interview someone in time for the second episode, this episode I'll fill you in a little bit more about the adoption process. I'll have you listeners join me in imagining what that experience might be like. This episode primarily challenges our notion of adoption as a net positive life event without thinking critically about what the transition entails for adoptees. It is essentially being forcibly removed from everything you know but never being allowed to say just how f**ked up it all truly is...let me know what you think! xoxo - Lidet
