Today I went on The Adoption Files podcast, sharing my story and how my career in marketing has shaped my perspective on “open” adoption. I also wrote a blog, elaborating on a few thoughts from the episode. Thanks so much to Ande for having me on and to everyone who had supported my work!

Adoption requires willful participation in a corrupt system. How can a willing participant in that system have the empathy required to raise an adopted person?
