Adoption fog. Past, present, and future in flux. Common themes for adoptees the world over. Specifically in the United States, 5 to 7 million Americans are adoptees. Host Roshini Rajkumar speaks with one of them in this powerful Case File. Dr Syb Brown is a former TV journalist and current professor of journalism at Belmont University. What she found out the night before her 42nd birthday changed her life and her ability to frame her future: “I grew up with no genetic representation.” Adoptees, adoptive parents, and biological parents separated from their children will find both comfort and challenge in Dr. Syb’s story. If you know someone who has been adopted, get ready to be moved and enlightened about how common phrases can cut deeply and why kind words are symphonies to the heart.
