S2 Ep21: Adoptions: A Web of Trauma and Its Repercussions

This week we discuss Crisis Pregnancy Centers, Christian adoption agencies, the "great replacement theory", and forced sterilization of women from Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous communities with a focus on how it all relates to the trauma in the adoption process for both birth mothers and children.   SOURCES https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/bethesda-home-girls-stolen-babies/ https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/06/26/bethany-christian-services-family-separation-betsy-devos/ https://www.newsweek.com/how-this-legal-woman-exposes-child-rehoming-ad-adoption-agency-viral-video-1667464 https://www.dailydot.com/irl/adopted-children-rehome-ads-tiktok/ https://ihpi.umich.edu/news/forced-sterilization-policies-us-targeted-minorities-and-those-disabilities-and-lasted-21st https://twu.edu/media/documents/history-government/Autonomy-Revoked--The-Forced-Sterilization-of-Women-of-Color-in-20th-Century-America.pdf https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/blog/unwanted-sterilization-and-eugenics-pr...

Om Podcasten

Hey! We are Ash and Katy, this is our podcast, Always the Last to Know! Growing up we were taught how to live in the world, everything was going fine…until literally, the entire world changed, thus making everything we had learned essentially obsolete. Needless to say, Mr. Feeny and Cory Matthews did not prepare us for social media takeovers, taxes, or making our way through an insane world where an entire generation is trauma bonded. It feels like we missed entire lessons on things so the goal is to fill in the gaps of our education- from discussions on current laws to clones, from N.A.T.O to what's hidden under melting glaciers, join us while we attempt to navigate our way through the world, figure out adulthood, and hopefully learn something new along the way!
