À propos de cet audio

My name is Heidi Marble. I am a domestic adoptee/author/speaker born in 1965. I did not realize the depth of pain caused from my own relinquishment until later in life. The loss surrounding adoption is so far reaching it is hard to grasp; the gravity of hurt pulled me to take action. Fueled by our amazing team, Pulled By The Root has become a collective platform that elevates, honors and gives voice to the issues surrounding adoption. Our podcast is a place to listen to an aggregate of conversations. From these varied perspectives we can learn more about the complexities of adoption, healing and trauma. There are over 100 completed interviews to date, so be on the lookout for new episodes. To learn more please check out our website at: https://www.pulledbytheroot.com

    Open Mic Episode with Heidi, Elle, and Amy – Hosts of Pulled By The Root.
    Before recording interviews, we always take time to dive deep with one another. Amy thought it would be meaningful to share some of those behind-the-scenes conversations with you. For this episode, the only guideline was simple: bring a few topics—but don’t tell anyone what they are in advance. What unfolded instead was an organic, heartfelt dialogue about what it means to be adopted and how that experience continues to shape our lives.

    In this episode, Heather Sachs courageously dives into the issues surrounding adoption loss. Here are her words:

    I am adopted and see myself as a disrupter as well. The more we put our stories out there, the more we can change the narrative to being adoptee focused! I was adopted at two when my mother relinquished me to her then boss. Like many others, I didn’t even know that adoption/relinquishment was trauma until a therapist told me so. Only at that point was I able to start the journey reparenting myself enough to heal some of my abandonment wounds. I’ve subsequently became passionate about genealogy as a means to help adoptees establish the roots they have felt they are missing all their lives. I’ve found creating biological family trees can help adoptees remember that despite their mother and fathers inability to keep their family together, they still are made up of numerous ancestors DNA and stories. I love to help them find those stories.

I absolutely loved this podcast! I took away so much from it and it will sure make going through my fog process easy. My first time listening I had to pause 3 times to catch my breath, but it was so worth it I have now listened to it 4 times. I am a 60''s scoop survivor (Canada) and we just got compensated through a class action against our government. It wasn't ever about the money I received, it actually felt like an insult, but getting counseling was my focus. My life seems very similar to Moses's life, with the fame, I have just started to enter the fog after losing my brother to suicide and feeling like I lost my adopted parents and sister as well. My brother was 3 years older than me, but we shared a lot and I believe he was the only one that understood me, so losing him really changed my life. I would love to be apart of your movement Moses, I think you are spot on!! I think this is where my passion lies as a MSW Indigenous woman entering the fog!!! Everyday gets easier!! Much love

WOW, unbelievably brilliant from one trans-racial
