Podcast

Adoption Retold is committed to retelling adoption stories from the lived experiences of those whose stories have often been told for them. In this podcast, your adoption knowledge will be enriched by Christian voices that:

Center adoptee and birth parent narratives.
Illuminate lived-experience truths often missing from conversations about adoption in communities of faith.
Support those who have been pushed out of God’s story because of harmful adoption messaging and practices.
Offer help to those recovering from the trauma of relinquishment and separation in adoption.
Advocate for reforming adoption practices and policies.

Adoption Retold is an initiative of the Faith Collective for Truth and Healing in Adoption. We are a collective of adoptees and birth parents from diverse Christian communities and theological backgrounds. Our goal is to bring balance and breadth to the narrative of adoption within Christianity through education, theological reflection, support, and storytelling.

A big thanks to Seth Overby and Corey Loftus for composing and digitally mastering the music for the show.
