Finding Your Roots – Kristin Chenoweth (2026) – Adoption on the Small Screen
<p dir="ltr">E032 | Finding Your Roots – Kristin Chenoweth (2026) – Adoption on the Small Screen</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">To be an adoptee in the 21st century is to know a little something about spitting into test tubes. Podcast journalist Haley Radke, filmmaker Kristal Parke, and cultural critic Sullivan Summer have all had this experience, as has the Tony and Emmy award-winning star of the stage and screen, Kristin Chenoweth, who is herself a US baby-scoop era adoptee. Chenoweth was featured on an episode of the PBS documentary series, Finding Your Roots, where host Henry Louis Gates presented her with a "book of life;" information researched and compiled by professional genealogists, including photos, newspaper clippings, and other ephemera documenting Chenoweth's biological familial lineage and ancestral history. It's more than most of us can ever hope for, but we're happy to see a fellow adoptee get some answers! Even Kristal.</p> <p dir="ltr">Finding Your Roots is written and presented by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.</p> <p dir="ltr">This episode of Adoption Pop! aired on July 15, 2026. In it we discussed and/or relied upon:</p> <p dir="ltr">Kristin Chenoweth has been acting for over thirty years. You can find a list of her credits <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kristin_Chenoweth">here</a>. </p> <p dir="ltr">Since recording this episode, Sullivan had occasion to read Kristin's 2022 children's book, What Will I Do With My Love Today? (Actually, she found an online reading by <a href= "https://youtu.be/prD5CsWu_yU?si=f9qlCYRp68UCSUV2">Storytime with Faye on YouTube</a>.) A story about a little girl who looks suspiciously like one imagines Kristin must have looked, the protagonist goes about town doing good deeds, including adopting a puppy, complete with paperwork signed by her parents, which feels like an unnecessary detail for a children's book, until you get to the part where the girl tells her puppy, "When I was a baby, no bigger than you, my mommy and daddy adopted me too… adoption means family, and family's forever." Sullivan gives it two-stars/C-/3 out of 10 for persistent factual inaccuracies (for a child to be adoptable, a family must be separated; also, the prevalence of estrangement in our community, as well as adoptive parent rehoming, mitigates against the idea that "family's forever"), and the comparison of adoptees to pets. Do not recommend.</p> <p dir="ltr">Kristin's 2009 memoir is A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages (with Joni Rodgers). </p> <p dir="ltr">Kristin talks about meeting her biological mother on a January 17, 2023 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark (Ryan Seacrest guest co-hosting) <a href= "https://youtu.be/lfCHEpiF5ds?si=_gwF47GEJy-61srw">here</a>. </p> <p dir="ltr">The video in which Kristin describes reuniting with her sister, and the impact of meeting biological relatives is "<a href="https://youtu.be/Oolk-45OUA4?si=zjpHZzyGjd42edK1">Kristin Chenoweth's Emotional DNA Reunion</a>" from the DNAngels Org YouTube channel. Content warning for Kristin getting completely ambushed by the person off-camera asking the questions, though she handles it with grace. As we do. </p> <p dir="ltr">You can find and purchase one of Kristal's I 🖤 Adoptees or It's Because I'm Adopted hats <a href= "https://kristalparke.net/merch/">here</a>. </p> <p dir="ltr">The Adoption Pop! theme music is The Chase by Audiogreen.</p> <p dir="ltr">We'd love to hear what you thought of this episode, and what you'd like for us to cover in the future.

<p dir="ltr">E031 | Shrinking Season 3 (2026) – Adoption on the Small Screen</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">The Apple TV comedy, Shrinking, follows a group of therapists, their friends and loved ones, all of whom seem to have unhealthy attachment issues, including the characters Brian and Charlie who, at the end of Season 2 (which we covered on Adoption Pop! Episode 30) were anxiously awaiting the arrival of Ava's baby so they could adopt.
