INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Today we talk to adoptee and founder of the Faith Collective for Truth and Healing in Adoption, Sara Easterly, about who among the adoption constellation is given a seat at the table in conversations about adoption, especially in communities of faith. Are the voices of adult adoptees and first mothers welcomed, or are our voices stifled by those who claim to speak for us? Is there room at the table for uncomfortable truths and the painful impacts of relinquishment and adoption to be heard? What can we do to foster greater inclusion?
Sara Easterly is an award-winning author of essays and books that include Adoption Unfiltered: Revelations from Adoptees, Birth Parents, Adoptive Parents, and Allies (Rowman & Littlefield, 2024) and her memoir, Searching for Mom (Heart Voices, 2019). She is the founder of Adoptee Voices, a writing group for adoptees, and is a trained course facilitator with the Neufeld Institute.
