“International adoption is not an easy topic to tackle. I commend Lorie and Diego for their candidness about such an intimate part of their lives. I really appreciate the deep dive into why it is problematic, to put it mildly, and for Lorie examining how she was complicit in what was essentially an adoption business. But there were some aspects of this that just made me cringe. Like Lorie asking Diego’s biological mother “Do you still think of him as your son?” or something along those lines. Just wow. How can you ask a mother that? And how is it okay to just keep showing up in these people’s lives with a mic in their face all these years? As Dan rightly pointed out, there is a reason they met the family not in their home, because they did not want others to know their business. While it has been fascinating to hear this story, it’s also been hard. I don’t feel like Isabel and her family had much agency in all of this. And hearing her wails when they bring up her dead daughter? God. Just why include that? Was that necessary? I think there is a lot of solid work done here, but sometimes the incredibly sensitive aspects that can quite literally be retraumatizing for Isabel just don’t sit well with me.”

“I didn’t want to leave a negative review because this is a personal story and it’s not my place to comment on other people’s lived experience. Therefore, my feedback is about the style of the two reporters, not on the content. The way that the mother and son read off of the script makes me...”Read full review »
