  • Absolutely phenomenal

    I am a 45 yo domestic infant adoptee. I am finally starting to work on healing and understanding how adoption has affected me. I’ve bounced around to several adoption focused podcasts to help me learn and this one is by far the best I’ve come across. The host is amazing; very intelligent, well spoken, and knowledgeable about the subject. It shouldn’t matter that much but she is also a very talented broadcaster. Not to mention also a very effective interviewer. I’ve been working my way through al... more

  • Adotption: The Long View Podcast

    This podcast is so informative and challenging! Lori interveiws guests and provides a 360 view of adoption. It is complicated. I have learned that keeping focus on the child as the North Star and keeping an open heart helps navigate this complex journey. I learn somthing with every episode. I am halfway through season 2 and will make my way though all episodes. It is so worth it!

  • Open adoption

    As an adoptive mom living open adoptions for 17 years now, it’s refreshing to see other’s perspective as loving and foundational in what I believe as the need to love all people.

    I have been listening and following Lori for a couple years now and have really enjoyed learning about her story and her wholistic approach to open adoption. Her caring way of listening to and meeting people where they are in their stories is beautiful. Her podcast welcomes all corners of the triad to be heard, seen an... more
