Elle & Bri Unite to Deconstruct the Adoption Industry

Cate and Tyler sit down with marriage and family therapist, and fellow adoptee, Bri to pull back the curtain on the American adoption industry. Moving past standard narratives, they openly discuss the grief and systemic flaws of the birth-parent journey, and how "open adoption" can be leveraged as a coercive tool. From deconstructing hospital postpartum pressure to exploring child-centric alternatives like kinship care and legal guardianship, this conversation is an urgent look at institutional accountability and the true impact of adoption.Follow Bri: https://www.tiktok.com/@briinthemakingThis is PART 1 of a three-part discussion!Thank you to our sponsors!Arya: Get $10 off your first month at GetArya.com/CATEANDTYProgressive: Visit Progressive.com to learn more!
