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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T12:18:37.727302+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-adoption-files-5610264"},"episode":{"title":"This Feels Familiar: How leaving the system that harmed you can be hard to do.
