Summary

We pickup where we left off - sort of - by interviewing Ben, the brother of our season 1 finale interviewee, Juan. Also from the Gold Coast, Ben has a very different outlook on adoption than his brother. Growing up, Ben didn’t talk much about his adoption nor did he ask his parents questions about his past… …Well, not anymore. On today’s episode, Ben opens up and shares his experience as an adoptee. From being Black and talking about Australia’s ugly history with its treatment of minorities to discussing how fatherhood helped change his perspective on his own birth parents to his thoughts on adoption “celebration” vs “normalization” - we cover it all. Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on this conversation, and if you like accents, then you’re in for a treat! Listen now.

    Hi, Also I'm Adopted

    Release Date: 04/23/2021

    Description: French or Spanish - those are the 2 most common languages offered to children in school. Remember taking all those placement exams, where your score determined which level you’d be put in? I always wished I was fluent in Spanish so I could be exempt from taking any language class at all. But for Alicia, today’s episode guest, that wasn’t the case. She is part of the Latin X community, but doesn’t know any Spanish because she was adopted by non-Spanish speakers. When Alicia expressed a desire to learn Spanish in school, she was told she couldn’t join the class because it would simply be another “easy A”. In other words, Alicia wasn’t allowed to learn Spanish because her school assumed she was already fluent solely based on what she looked like. Have no doubt - this is racism, and on today’s episode, Alicia and I discuss how experiencing racism like that, at such a young age, can follow you well into adulthood. Alicia shares how being denied access to the culture of her birthplace not only made her feel like she didn’t belong, but how it also brought prejudice from other people, both white and Latin X, upon her. Don’t miss out, as I’m Adopted, Now What? welcomes its first (of hopefully many) Latin X guests - listen now.

    I'm being iced out...now what?

    Release Date: 08/11/2022

    Description: We're coming in hot with a a new episode that delves into one of the worst friendship experiences: Being dropped by a friend group. Whew, anyone else cringe just thinking about this? While this is something that we might have experienced more frequently growing up, this dynamic still persists into adulthood and even though we're older and wiser, being left out still hurts just as much. We're covering a lot: Including the stages of being iced out, how to change the script and address it, why someone might get dropped from a group, group dynamics and group think, the myth of the girl group, mourning the loss of a friendship, what to do when you're on the other side of dropping a friend, and how to move forward with your friendships in the future.  Past episodes we referenced: Growing within Relationships (feat. Anisa Sudra) Taking Inventory of Our Friendships Questions of the week: What would you say to someone who is going through this right now? What advice would you give to someone who might be considering dropping a friend from a group? Get involved! We'd love to hear from you.
