506: More Facets of Adoption Math with Adoptee Torie DiMartile (Part 2)

In this much anticipated episode, we resume our conversation with adoptee and adoption educator Torie DiMartile on adoption math that adoptees have to deal with, the worlds they must precariously straddle throughout their lives, the opposing emotions they continually experience (and are sorely misunderstood about), and how their parents can either help or hinder their efforts. As you may recall, last time we stopped partway through our conversation to save the rest for later. Well, later is now here.
