- Unsubscribing
I am unsubscribing to your podcast. The talking over each other and interrupting the interviewee is triggering for me. Sometimes three people are talking at the SAME time.

Canada4 months ago - A Must Listen for Anyone Touch by Adoption
Sarah and Louise have created a community for adoptees that’s like no other. It’s love learning with them as they read a book on adoption at the beginning of each episode and then interview an adoptee who then shares their story. As a fellow adoptee it’s important to share our stories and find a community of fellow adoptees. more

I started listening to your podcast because I didn’t have anyone to read and discuss adoptee related books with me, so I welcomed the chance to read along with you. I take something away from every episode and appreciate how you both are so relatable. You are working through your trauma and enlightenment right alongside with all of us in this special adoptee community.
Apple Podcasts5ErranSmithUnited States6 months ago - Thank you Sarah & Louise
You are making an invaluable contribution to the world in telling the truth about adoption & taking your listeners with you as you come out of the fog.

They really need to deal with their own trauma before continuing to spread their negative adoption message. I wish I could give zero stars. (And I listened eve... more
