Summary

An incredibly honest deep dive conversation with Leslie Leslie Pate Mackinnon, L.C.S.W. She's a seasoned and well-respected therapist in both the adoption community and MPE (Misattributed Parentage Experience)--finding out you were adopted and your bio parents aren't the people you thought, communities How does adoption and third-party reproduction impact mental health? I dive into the psychological aftermath of adoption, exploring the profound emotional needs and identity struggles of adoptive and donor-conceived children. With expert insights from Leslie Pate McKinnon, we examine the trauma of separation, the importance of open adoption, and the often-overlooked emotional toll on birth mothers. This conversation sheds light on the complexities and ethical considerations of family creation, emphasizing the need for education and support for all involved.
