When I first found my adoptee community around seven years ago, one of the first gems I encountered was the Adoptees On Podcast. Because of Haley’s varied adoptee content and her compassionate way of being with her guests, I felt myself coming more and more into my newly found adoptee...Read full review »

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 »

As an adult adoptee, in full reunion.. I have mixed feelings about this pod. I have listened for years, but recently have decided to quit. I believe that the hosts and guests on this show are living in deep, deep bitterness. They are not able to move on from the challenging aspects of their...Read full review »

Sure, “life changing” may seem a little dramatic but truly…as an adoptee, this podcast has done so much to help me articulate, process, organize, and integrate my feelings. I feel so much relief and camaraderie in hearing that others share my difficult feelings. The guests are all uniquely...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.

I discovered Adoptees On about two years ago. I’ve been adopted my whole life but never have I ever had access to a space like this, with a whole community of people who share this unique life experience. The Adoptees On community is supportive, welcoming, and fun; and I always learn something...Read full review »

I am NOT a podcast person, but I listen to this one! As an adoptee who had never really thought much about the impact of my adoption on my life, I was turned on to Adoptees On by a friend in similar circumstances. It has been SO HELPFUL to hear the diversity of stories from so many other adoptees...Read full review »
Unstable! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
Discovering this podcast several years ago changed my life. Prior to the show, I felt alone in my thoughts and feelings as an adoptee. It instantly became my exercise, car ride, shower, and any spare time “music”. I now have community. I feel seen, heard, understood and embraced by fellow...Read full review »
Scoot's Girl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/23/22
I don’t remember who shared Haley’s podcast with me but holy crap I’m glad they did. Her compassion shows in every single episode she does, especially when the hard parts are talked about. Fortunately the format is edited so well that you never fall into a slump because of a certain topic. She...Read full review »

Haley’s podcast is a treasured safe space for adoptees like myself to listen to other adoptees, something that is rare in adoptionland as our truths as are mostly ignored, muted or the microphone perpetually in the hands of the adoption industry or worst of all adopters. Only adoptees know...Read full review »

Adoptees On was one of the resources recommended to me when I wrote into my favorite mental health podcast, Pod Therapy.

Little Sally Sprinkles via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/21
If you look for podcasts on adoption, almost all of them center the adoptive or hopeful adoptive parents. This podcast centers on the adoptee, who should be the center of this topic. Turns out we grow up into adults who were adopted as children yet we lack the rights afforded to other adults in...Read full review »

I came to this podcast looking to learn more about adoption as someone who might adopt one day. I had always sensed that there was something I didn’t “get”—the narrative I had absorbed about adoption seemed too simple. I’m just a few episodes in and I have learned a TON! This is the real...Read full review »

If you are adopted or have been touched by adoption, I strongly recommend this podcast. As an adoptee, Haley has opened up my world by having guests & sharing personal stories that show that I’m not alone and that my feelings and voice is valid. I love, love, love this podcast!
calypsogurl via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/21
Many adult adoptees credit Haley Radke for saving their life and giving them hope. I could not agree more! For adoptees or anyone touched by adoption, you will be amazed by her and her guests wisdom, stories, and humor. She is a stand out interviewer, producer, and beautiful and authentic person....Read full review »

Finding this podcast has been like finding my people- they speak my language and know my pain. In a world where adoption is seen as the best solution, there is little to no room for adoptees’ voices to express the pain, loneliness and devastation of being relinquished. Haley has created a safe...Read full review »

I’m an adoptive parent, I’ve been listening to Haley since 2017.

I’m very thankful to Haley for the show as I know it takes its toll....Read full review »
JonSwansea via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 08/22/21
The depth of discussion, insight, and compassion Haley and her guests bring to every episode makes this a “must listen” for those touched by adoption. More importantly, it provides a platform especially for adopted people, whose voices are so often ignored by those in the industry, adoptive...Read full review »

This podcast has been like a friend to me.

This podcast has been life changing. I love the variety of voices that Hailey brings on. Hearing so many stories from other adoptees has really helped me in my own healing!
DogmommaCA via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/22/21
Adoptees On is an indispensable source of information and sense of community for adopted people. I shudder to think of where I’d still be stuck, had I not found Haley. This should be required education for all adoptive parents, biological parents, and really, anyone touched by adoption.
fotogirl2009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/27/21
I LOVE this podcast! I appreciate Hailey’s honest, respectful and inquisitive presence. I am thankful for the vulnerability of every person who has shared their experience here. I have learned so much and had many break throughs from listening. I am an adoptive mom.

If you have any connection to adoption, know anyone who does, or have interest in social issues, this podcast is a must. These amazing real stories are more addictive than Netflix!

I found this podcast after I met both of my biological parents, which led to my crashing out of the fog.
