   An Adoptee’s Journey to Find His Birth Family | Finding Tico

   Born in Costa Rica and raised across continents, Jay grew up with pieces of a past he didn't fully understand—fragments of memories, photographs, names, and questions about where he came from. In this powerful episode of the A Act of Love Adoptions Podcast, Jay shares his deeply personal international adoption and adoptee story, as told through his debut book, Finding Tico. Separated from the person who knew the beginning of his story and brought into a new family and a new world, Jay spent years trying to understand his identity, adoption story, biological family, and sense of belonging. Eventually, he stopped running from the questions and began searching for answers. That search would take him across countries, through his own memories, and ultimately lead him to an incredible discovery: eleven siblings. Jay opens up about what it means to grow up adopted, the complicated emotions that can surround an adoptee's identity, searching for biological family, reconnecting with your roots, and discovering that finding where you came from can also be part of discovering who you are. We also talk about the parents Jay credits with saving his life twice, and the love and gratitude he carries for the family who raised him while still recognizing his need to understand the family and history he came from. Finding Tico is ultimately a story about adoption, identity, belonging, birth family, adoptive family, reunion, healing, and reclaiming pieces of your story that were once unknown. Whether you're an adoptee, birth parent, adoptive parent, prospective adoptive family, or adoption professional, Jay's story offers an important perspective on why an adoptee's questions about their past can matter throughout their lifetime. Join us for an honest conversation about what it means to be adopted, search for your roots, reconnect with biological family, and discover where you belong.

   Adoption, Abortion & Choosing Life: Roland C. Warren on the Pro Abundant Life Movement

   What does it really mean to support women facing an unplanned pregnancy—not only before a decision is made, but afterward as they build a future for themselves and their children? In this episode of the A Act of Love Adoptions Podcast, we sit down with Roland C. Warren, President and CEO of Care Net and author of The Alternative to Abortion: Why We Must Be Pro Abundant Life, for an important conversation about abortion alternatives, adoption, pregnancy support, fatherhood, strong families, faith, and choosing life. Roland shares the personal experience that shaped his perspective. While attending Princeton University, he and his then-girlfriend—now his wife of more than four decades—faced an unexpected pregnancy and the decision between abortion and choosing life. That experience became part of a journey that would ultimately influence his work in the pro-life movement. Roland explains why he believes being pro-life must mean more than preventing abortion. His “pro abundant life” approach calls Christians and communities to surround women, children, fathers, and families with meaningful, long-term support. We also explore the role adoption can play as one option for women facing an unplanned pregnancy, while recognizing that every woman deserves compassionate support, accurate information, and the opportunity to make an informed decision about her pregnancy. This conversation covers: * Adoption and alternatives to abortion * Support for women experiencing an unplanned pregnancy * What “pro abundant life” means * Roland Warren’s personal story of choosing life * The importance of involved fathers * Building and supporting strong families * The role of churches and Christian communities * Pregnancy resource centers and ongoing support * Faith, discipleship, and the future of the pro-life movement Whether you are a birth parent, adoptee, adoptive parent, adoption professional, pregnancy support professional, or someone interested in the conversation surrounding adoption and abortion, this episode offers a thought-provoking perspective on what it means to support life and families beyond pregnancy.
