Today we welcome Jack Dermody to the podcast. We talk about family secrets in adoption and the impact it has on all the parties when they are revealed. Jack also gets personal and tells us what happens when you start closely examining your adoptee experience in your seventies. We talk about family preservation and adoptee support, and how that looks like community showing up for each other on a large scale. <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/listen/196">Full Show Notes Here</a> Show Notes Recommended Resources <ul> <li><a href="https://www.atghostkingdom.com/">@GhostKingdom by Brian Stanton</a></li> <li>Tree of Strangers by Barbara Sumner</li> <li>It Takes a Village by Hillary Rodham Clinton</li> </ul> Connect With Us <ul> <li>Jack Dermody: <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/jack.dermody.9">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://youtube.com/adopteeson">YouTube</a> Support Adoptees On <a href= "https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=HU8AYRHKXSJSE">One Time Donation</a> | <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/adopteeson">Monthly</a> | <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/adopteeson">Secret Facebook Group</a> Connect <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/newsletter">Occasional Newsletter</a> | <a href="https://www.adopteeson.com/connect">Send a Note</a>

197 Donna and Sara

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.
