• To Date or Not to Date… Fellow Korean Adoptees
    Nov 5 2025

    On this 2nd episode of the Only KADs Podcast, Nate, Jenna, Claire, and April explain the origin of the name “Only KADs,” adult Halloween costumes and why we are an embarrassment to our kids, plus the advantages, pitfalls, & cautionary considerations of dating a fellow KAD. We also respond to our very first listener question! Settle into the vibe and join the fun!

    Note: Due to some suggestive, crude language, and mature topics, listener discretion is advised. In other words, don’t have us playing in the car with your little DoKADs’ ears in close proximity! (DoKAD: Descendant of a Korean Adoptee)

    Terminology:

    KAD - Korean Adoptee

    IKAA - International Korean Adoptee Association

    KAAN - Korean American Adoptee Adoptive Family Network
