Radical Vulnerability

<p>This episode with Dr. David McCarty-Caplan touches on so many profound and heartfelt areas, carried by the radical vulnerability, honesty, and compassion he brings to the conversation. David generously shares about his reunion with his Colombian birth family-- first on his own, and later with his children and partner. We explore how his kids embraced reunion and modeled openness, curiosity and love with his family, and how their presence and perspective helped guide and teach him throughout the process. David also reflects on his identity as a Jewish Colombian adoptee and his powerful work community building with and for Jewish adoptees of color.  </p><p><strong>Dr. David McCarty-Caplan Bio</strong><br>Dr. David McCarty-Caplan (PhD) is a researcher, educator, writer, and consultant whose work sits at the intersection of identity, belonging, and social justice. Born in Bogotá, Colombia and adopted into a white Jewish family in the United States, David’s life has been shaped by questions of race, family, and home. These experiences continue to inform his passion for helping adoptees and their families navigate the complex layers of identity, racism, and connection that often accompany adoption. Drawing on his background as a social work researcher and educator, David brings both personal insight and professional rigor to his work with organizations, communities, and families. He is especially interested in how people and institutions can create spaces where all feel seen and valued. David lives in Los Angeles with his wife and their two children, ages 12 and 10. As a husband, father, and adoptee, he is continually exploring what it means to nurture belonging — in his family, in his work, and in the broader world.</p><p><a href="https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/">https://www.shadesofbelonging.com/</a></p><p>Co-Hosts: Nari Baker &amp; Robyn Park<br>Music: Mike Marlatt &amp; Paul Gulledge<br>Audio Production: Frederico Soler Fernández<br>Artwork: Dalhe Kim</p><p>Listen on: iTunes &amp; Spotify<br>Instagram: @laboroflovepodcast<br>Support via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast</p>

It’s Not History, It’s Ongoing

<p>Join us and Dr. Oh Myo Kim for an illuminating conversation on her time parenting her two children while in Korea as a Fulbright researcher and professor at Yonsei University. Dr. Kim graces us with her perspective on Korean and US politics, how she is including her children in learning about current events, and what it has been like teaching Korean and international students about Korean adoption. Additionally, Dr. Kim sheds light on her newest research on adoptees who search but do not find, and DOKADs (descendants of Korean adoptees) and the politics of identity within the next generation, and the legacies of adoption for us all. </p><p><strong>Oh Myo Kim Bio</strong><br>Oh Myo is a counseling psychologist who researches adoption and identity. She is primarily a mixed-methods and qualitative researcher.  She holds a BA in English, a Master of Divinity, and a PhD in Counseling Psychology.

The Right And Power As Their Mother

<p>Join us for our second episode of season 2 with Shannon Bae. Shannon is a long-time friend, fellow Korean adoptee community activist and organizer, and mother of two amazing kids. This intimate conversation took place in Seoul in the summer of 2023 during the International Korean Adoptee Association's 6th Korea Gathering. In our shared ancestral land, Shannon generously shares about her decision to not explicitly share her adoption story with her children at this point in their development, and her juxtaposing experiences giving birth in Korea and the United States while continuing to cultivate a deeper relationship with her birth mother. Shannon also discusses her children's experiences moving back and forth between Korea and the United States, raising them bilingual, and why she doesn't view translating for adoptee reunions as work.  </p><p><strong>Shannon Bae Bio</strong></p><p>Co-Hosts: Nari Baker &amp; Robyn Park<br>Music: Mike Marlatt &amp; Paul Gulledge<br>Audio Production: Augustina Moore &amp; Adrien Prevost<br><a href="https://august222222.com/">https://august222222.com</a><br>Artwork: Dalhe Kim</p><p>Listen on: iTunes &amp; Spotify<br>Instagram: @laboroflovepodcast<br>Support via Venmo: @laboroflovepodcast</p>
