0:53

can you tell them what this podcast is about

0:56

yeah so i was adopted from guatemala

0:59

nineteen ninety nine when i was nine months

1:01

old and so this story

1:03

is really centered

1:05

around what it's like to be adopted

1:07

and what it's like to know you're from two different

1:10

places i've grown up knowing

1:13

that's i have a birth family

1:15

and know in my birth family and

1:17

i've also grown up know in my adoptive

1:19

family and we're trying to look at how

1:22

these two world interact how

1:25

international adoption works

1:27

normally it got so big and ultimately

1:30

why shut down

1:31

the or international adoption is such a complicated

1:34

story but i'm really excited for this

1:36

show because obviously you

1:38

have such a personal connection

1:41

to it

1:42

yeah i mean it's twenty

1:44

three years of keep

1:47

of the growing up so

1:49

you're really get you know me as

1:51

a person but also i

1:54

know contextualize that with what

1:56

we're doing an outside

1:58

of just my personal

1:59

there is well

2:01

we really are trying to bring in more

2:04

voices than just the adoptee an

2:06

adoptive parents were trying to bring in

2:09

everyone and really many

2:11

different viewpoints as we can for this

2:13

i know from talking to adopt is

2:16

being adopted is not the only thing that

2:18

makes that person said tell our listeners

2:21

about you and what you enjoy

2:23

didn't and for you are

2:25

the run

2:26

from santiago too long and guatemala

2:29

and raised in saint paul minnesota

2:31

i play hockey use of the minnesota

2:34

wild of ,

2:36

even know that's kind of a curse on

2:40

on weightlifting running

2:42

reading history books and i'm currently

2:44

getting my masters in special education

2:47

2:49

2:52

started

2:53

the santa really busy for

2:55

him really glad that you have taken the time

2:57

to share this incredible

3:00

personal story with us

3:03

and i'm really excited to hear the full series

3:05

full series get to work with you in the spring

3:08

on a couple of the bonus episodes

3:10

which was really fine but

3:13

one of the things that interest me

3:15

so much about their show in

3:17

addition to the subject matter is

3:19

that this podcast is really unique

3:21

in that it brings together

3:24

more than twenty years of recordings

3:27

and our listeners really gonna

3:29

get here your story of being an adopted

3:31

person and growing up in the united states

3:33

and especially that person

3:35

of color growing up with wait periods

3:38

in the united states that's

3:40

fascinating

3:42

i think you know one of the things that

3:44

i think the listeners shouldn't knows that

3:47

many of the recordings that you

3:50

here throughout the series

3:53

i'm also here in for the first time

3:56

having i just want the listeners to come away

3:58

with some edition ones

3:59

i'm not trying to tell you

4:02

to think one way or or another

4:04

on kind of hoping that

4:07

you take a deeper look at

4:09

what adoptions because on the surface

4:11

it seems

4:13

the simple

4:14

it's

4:15

it's much more complicated than that and i think

4:17

that's what we're really trying to to get

4:20

it and as podcast and we're really trying

4:22

to give voices to people that haven't

4:24

had voices in the store

4:26

yeah, i think that this going to really

4:28

resonate with our cuz

4:30

if you enjoyed biohacks family

4:33

secrets, which i was about donor conception

4:35

and identity and figuring out there

4:38

a lot of of the same elements that pop up here

4:40

with your story so biohack

4:43
