Summary

Join us for a powerful conversation with Erin, known as Adoptee Advocate Erin (@woodorwater) on Tiktok, who shares her deeply personal adoption story, revealing the complexities and hidden truths behind the "beautiful" narrative that adoption has sold. Erin explains "the fog," a common experience where adoptees suppress their true feelings, and details the shocking discovery of her adoptive mother's lies about sealed records. She passionately advocates for adoption reform, highlighting the need for education, birth mother support, and an end to the commodification of children. Erin emphasizes the crucial importance of listening to adoptees and creating space for their diverse experiences. A must-listen for anyone touched by adoption or wanting to learn more than what we've been told.
