S3E30 AUTHOR & ADOPTEE KEN DeSTEFANO SHARES HIS STORY WITH MYOK

Mind Your Own Karma – The Adoption Chronicles

Ken DeStefano is an attorney living in New York, who is also a domestic adoptee that was born in the late 1960s. He was raised in a caring and loving home. As an adoptee, he has had a largely happy life, but always wondered about the unknown.

That curiosity led to a search for his own birth mother and a reunification with her. His debut novel, I Will See You Again...Hearts Will Sing, tells the story of two people whose past, present, and future lives are inexplicably linked.

In 2024, DeStefano was selected by the Tucson Festival of Books for recognition as an “Indie Author,” and his book was also selected as a finalist in the 2024 American Fiction Awards in the Family Saga category.

Mind Your Own Karma–The Adoption Chronicles Podcast educates listeners on the realities of adoption through the stories of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We delve into their journeys, exploring identity, the emotional impacts of adoption, and the complexities that are involved when a child is removed from their biology.

We also tackle tough topics like transracial adoption and adoption ethics, featuring experts and advocates. By sharing these diverse perspectives we hope to not only educate the world, but also give ⁠⁠hope and healing⁠⁠ to those deeply affected by adoption trauma.

***This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me.
