Today the creator of Not Your Orphan is sharing their story with us, Blake Gibbins is here! Blake and I talk about what happened three years ago to kick him out of the fog, we discuss grief and some losses Blake experienced earlier this year, and we move into a discussion about activism, cognitive dissonance and what it means to be queer and an adoptee. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/128">Full Show Notes Here</a> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Blake Gibbbins: <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzlK_rESqZeLbfxZVDAUihw">Not Your Orphan on YouTube</a> | <a href= "https://twitter.com/notyourorphan">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/notyourorphan_official/">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/notyourorphan">Facebook</a></li> <li>Haley Radke: <a href= "https://twitter.com/haleyradke">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/haleyradke/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/haleyradkepodcaster">Facebook</a></li> <li>Adoptees On: <a href= "https://twitter.com/adopteeson">Twitter</a> | <a href= "https://www.instagram.com/adopteeson/">Instagram</a> | <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/adopteesonpodcast">Facebook</a></li> </ul> Subscribe <a href= "http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/adoptees-on/id1123372859">Apple Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cDovL2Fkb3B0ZWVzb24ubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M%3D"> Google Podcasts</a> | <a href= "https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-Adoptees-On-Discover-28264488/"> iHeart Radio</a> | <a href= "https://open.spotify.com/show/6DHevAi3rn7SfugmlPBSKJ">Spotify</a> | <a href= "http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=93562&refid=stpr">Stitcher</a> | <a href= "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkc4Ej6Go6AYLl3_T4H2sfw">YouTube</a> Support Adoptees On <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=N7YQ9MNDCCYFW"> One Time Donation</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Monthly</a> | <a href= "https://www.adopteeson.com/partner">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter">Monthly Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect">Send a Note or Record a Voicemail</a>

The podcast where adoptees discuss the adoption experience. This is not the usual adoption talk. You will find real, raw, and deep feelings addressed in these interviews. No sugar-coating here! Come and laugh, cry, learn and heal with us.

Adult adoptees share stories of search, reunion, and secondary rejection. Adoptees On also curates recommended resources to encourage and educate the adoption community about adoptee issues.
