Summary
In this back-to-school episode of Born in June, Raised in April: What Adoption Can Teach the World, April Dinwoodie and podcast producer Kyle Ferreira get into a conversation about the powerful and often surprising questions April has received from students—both adopted and not—about adoption, identity, and belonging. From "What happens when someone is adopted an is mistreated?" to "Were you ever angry at your birth parents?" these honest questions open the door to conversations about family, race, mental health, and resilience for all children. April also offers five practical ways schools can better support adopted children and reminds us that when classrooms embrace difference, every child benefits. Content Note: After the closing credits, April and Kyle have a brief discussion about school shootings.
