Kendall tells his story of being an adopted son. He and Corey, his partner tell their tales with honesty. Laughter and tears. Their outlook on life made me want to continue to listen. I am only on the first season. When I realized today that I have over 100 episodes to continue to listen to I was so happy! There’s a few different NPE podcasts out there and they are very good listens. BUT Kendall and Corey feel like family to me as I listen along to them. I hope you’ll agree that this podcast i... more

Apple Podcasts5Christine Santos Wonder BoldlyUnited States8 months ago - NPE and me….
I fell upon the Family Twist podcast the day after the 2024 election. I was so traumatised by the result I vowed to stop watching the news 24 hours a day and needed something new to envelop myself in. I am not an adoptee, sperm donor baby or an NPE baby but I am fascinated by human stories and they don’t get more human than our DNA. I don’t think Ancestry or 23&me had any idea of the explosion they set off. I think we are just at the beginning of this NPE revolution and Family Twists is a great ... more
