# The Adoption Files Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264.md RSS feed: https://anchor.fm/s/6d7f7e1c/podcast/rss Official site: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ande-stanley Author: Ande Stanley Episodes: 163 ## Resource The Adoption files seeks to provide a place for adoptees and allies to discuss the laws preventing adoptees from accessing their identities, and the emotional and physical challenges adoptees face in the process of dealing with the obstacles we face. We recognize the need to expose the problematic aspects of the adoption industry and the narrative they perpetuate. We will not only talk about the laws and the challenges they create, but also the ways that the mythology around adoption impacts the way we move through our lives, as adopted people and as mothers and other family members. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-adoption-files-5610264 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264.md ## Episodes - [Your Feelings Matter: the Core Emotions and Spiritual Trauma](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264/your-feelings-matter-the-core-emotions-and-spiritual-trauma) — 2026-07-22T03:05:05+00:00 - [Victim, Villain, Valiant Hero: The Drama Triangle and Spiritual Trauma](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264/victim-villain-valiant-hero-the-drama-triangle-and-spiritual-trauma) — 2026-07-12T08:13:00+00:00 - [Let's: See What Develops: The Essentials.
