Incredible podcast of families, adoptions, and tough choices

Post by _cinepro »

My favorite Podcast is the NPR show "This American Life", where they tell two or three long-form stories every week. I was recently shocked to hear them profile a Utah family who adopted a child from Samoa a few years ago, but the story takes an incredibly unusual turn.

If you've got some time to spare, I recommend checking it out. It's in episode #380, and it starts at 30:00. It's about 34 minutes long.

No Map - Where's King Solomon When You Need Him? (Click "Full Episode" on the left side of the screen)

Check it out.

That is a great one. If you can get a hold of it, I would also recommend #378 "This I used to Believe."

Julia Sweeney's piece from "Letting go of God" was great from TAL. Monday morning after my first ipod sync of the work week usually involves me holing up in my office at work listening to TAL and answering emails.
And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space...and meaning
