This podcast is great. Karlos and the people he interviews have shared their experiences and perspectives and I’m so grateful. It’s made me completely rethink adoption as a whole and impacted the way my wife and I think of our future.
Apple Podcasts5LarsonRCUnited States2 months ago - Will power episode was extremely hard to listen to
I saw that man’s tiktok before it blew up and I was cringing badly at it. He came across as attention seeking and acted like the baby was an accessory. I did not expect to come to this episode and feel terrible for the man. This was an attack; an interrogation and it was even more cringe than this man’s TikTok. I understand that you are jaded by the system and the system is completely broken but I’m honestly shocked that this man continued with the conversation. I was actually about 20 minutes i... more
Apple Podcasts1Whitegrlwasted kUnited States2 months ago - Good and bad
I give this three stars because I love hearing people’s lived experiences. But Karlos needs to work on his interrupting of his guests. He also doesn’t seem to listen to the guests when they speak. He will grossly misinterpret things or ask a question that they literally just answered while talking a minute before. It’s like we’re you listening dude? He also pronounces “advised” wrong in the content warning.
Apple Podcasts3Modesh0694United States2 months ago - So important to listen
I’ve learned so much from Karlos and other adoptees. Karlos has opened my eyes to the trauma and unethical aspects of adoption. Everyone should take the time to listen to their voices.
