Welcome to the Adoptees On Private Community!


2019 Adoptees On meetup in Washington, DC

2019 Adoptees On meetup in Washington, DC

Adoptees On is a gathering of incredible adopted people sharing their personal stories about the impact adoption has had on their lives. Every week on the Adoptees On podcast—which is free for everyone—we feature candid conversations with adoptees, therapists, and professionals to promote healing and awareness in the world of adoption. Our goal is to prove that we’re not alone on this journey. Sharing stories and experiences with other adoptees can help us heal, which is why we’re more than just a podcast—we’re a community. 

Since 2016, Adoptees On has featured dozens of guests in over 250 episodes and has been downloaded over 1,200,000 times in over 140 countries. As an independent podcast, we rely solely on community support for funding and by joining as a Patreon subscriber, you’re helping the show reach more adoptees around the world.



Adoptees Off Script Podcast & Parties

Adoptees Off Script is a weekly exclusive podcast for Patreon subscribers, hosted by Haley Radke (that’s me!) and several other regular co-hosts including Sullivan Summer, Megan Culhane Galbraith, Jade Henness and many more of our adoptee friends!

In Adoptees Off Script, we share deeper personal stories, dig into our search and reunion experiences, and explore current events and stories from around the world that affect adoptees. We truly deconstruct the adoptee-related areas of our personal lives (which, might I say, is pretty much every area).

Adoptees Off Script also hosts regular live Zoom parties for Patreon subscribers, where adoptees from around the world meet, connect, and share with each other. I like to call it friendship matchmaking.


Adoptees On(ly) Book Club

In the Adoptees On(ly) Book Club, our private community selects a new adoptee-authored book almost every month. You can read along and join in on the month-long conversations in Patreon—sharing your thoughts and questions with the rest of the community. We also host live roundtable discussions on Zoom with regular special appearances and insights from the authors. 

Visit the Adoptees On(ly) Book Club for a full list of this year’s selections!

Our online adoptee community is growing every day. We’re stronger together and we want to include your voice, your perspective—you.

Ask an Adoptee Therapist

Join us for a monthly Zoom call with some of our favourite adoptee therapists. Patrons can submit as many questions as they’d like and our host and therapist will talk through each scenario giving their thoughts and ideas. A portion of the event will be recorded, and there will also be an unrecorded time when patrons can discuss and hang out with the host and therapist.

Our adoptee therapist is a qualified therapist, and licensed in their state of residence, but they are not your therapist. Our conversations and any advice given is for education and entertainment only. 

Patrons: submit a question for our guest therapist here.
