139. The Adoptee Hat - The Focus on the Family Series

May 17, 2023

Welcome to the Focus on the Family Series! In the next few episodes, we will explore the ins and outs of family life - how they start, how they grow, what shape they take, etc. The notion of the nuclear family is so yesterday! Listen to each episode and see which elements of family resonate with you, which could not be more different, and which spark some intrigue! This week: adoptees.

Last week we had a brief discussion with our guest about the experince of parents who adopt children - go back and llisten to that episode if you have not. This week, our guest Jesyka Lueck, LMFT talks about her experience as a transracial adoptee and her work with other adoptees. Her story is moving and insightful, and the voice she gives other adoptees and their families is impactful. In this episode, we answer the following questions and more:

• What are some of the benefits and challenges of being adopted?
• What should potential adoptive parents be mindful of as they work toward adoption?
• What is something about being adopted that is not talked about enough?
