- Wonderful Podcast!
Damon’s podcast is truly exceptional. He creates space for honest, meaningful dialogue with adoptees that goes deeper than surface-level conversation. With thoughtful guidance and intentional questions, he helps each guest share their story in a way that leaves listeners reflecting long after the episode ends. Highly recommended for anyone who values depth and authenticity.

I’ve listened to several of Damon’s shows now and felt compelled to write after hearing Neisha’s story. My heart goes out to her and her family. What a heartbreaking journey she’s been on and thank you Damon, for giving Neisha and people like her, the platform to tell their stories in a safe, compassionate space. Very well done.

As an adoptee - I grew up always knowing my backstory and just accepting it for what it was. Meeting Damon and learning and listening to his podcast was the first time I truly realised the impact being adopted has had and continues to have on me. So much to process and very grateful to have found this opportunity.

United Kingdoma year ago - Sibling reunion
I was recently contacted by a half sibling. We share a father though we do not know who he is at this point. Meeting someone that that I am genetically related to has been the best thing in my life and also the most emotional. These podcasts have helped me realize that these feelings are normal though brand new to me.
