Episode Summary: The Other A Word: Adoption In this bold and compassionate episode, Renee and Regina dive deep into the complex intersection of adoption and abortion with special guest Dr. Gretchen Sisson. They explore how societal narratives around adoption often ignore the lived experiences of birth parents and children, and how those narratives have been weaponized in anti-abortion rhetoric.
Through a thoughtful discussion that includes cultural analysis, historical context, and research-based insights, the episode deconstructs why adoption is not a simple answer to reproductive injustice. The “There Are Other Books” segment adds literary depth with a conversation about Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng, tying fiction and reality in a meaningful way.
