“As a person who previously wanted to adopt, I am so grateful for the radical honesty and the safe space given to adoptees to express themselves. Additionally, Haley does an excellent job of doing anti-racism work and allowing others to express how their race has played a part in their stories....”Read full review »

“Haley has done something really special with this podcast. Excellent guests and topics. So unapologetically for and centered around adoptees. I’m an adoptive parent and I know this show isn’t “for” me, but wow, I’ve learned so much being able to listen to the adoptee perspective.”
