Ready for a season that doesn’t dodge hard questions? We’re back with a fresh slate of stories and a clear mission: trace how adoption got here, what’s changing now, and how real families live with those shifts day by day. From Chicago’s ICE(y) streets to a new name that reflects a deeper sense of self, we step into season three with humor, honesty, and a plan to make complex policy feel human.

We set the stage with life updates and the realities that keep us grounded: time passing faster than edits, ICE that has yet to melt, and the small details that shape identity. Then we dive into the big arcs ahead. International adoption has slowed, and we unpack the why—ethics, records, and a global push for family preservation. The Korean Truth and Reconciliation Committee 3 is front and center as we explore what accountability looks like, how lost or altered records can be repaired, and what justice can mean for adoptees and first families. Expect clear explanations, careful context, and stories that connect systems to lived experience.

Our own paths highlight the range within adoption: one of us adopted domestically within a white family, the other crossing an ocean from an Asian family to a white family. Those differences shape language, belonging, and access to origin stories. We compare notes on paperwork, cultural threads, and the search for roots. Parenthood brings new perspective too—fatherhood with a 19‑month‑old meets long-running conversations about motherhood, widening the lens to include daily care, identity, and the quiet work of love. And yes, a name change to Bina marks identity as something alive, chosen, and evolving.

If you care about adoption ethics, Korean adoptee history, domestic vs international contrasts, or simply love thoughtful storytelling with heart, this season is for you. Hit follow, share with a friend who needs this, and leave a review with the one question you want us to tackle first.
