UnErased: The Deportation of Adoptees in America
Imagine growing up American in every sense-speaking the language, embracing the culture, building a life-only to discover the country you call home doesn't legally recognize you as its own. UnErased: The Deportation of Adoptees in America brings forward the voices of those who lived this exact reality. This podcast, presented by Focus Features, Treefort Media, and Limina House, delves into a hidden chapter of U.S. immigration and adoption policy, where more than 35,000 adult adoptees found themselves without citizenship and at risk of deportation, often without any warning. Each episode is built on intimate, firsthand narratives, allowing adoptees to share their complex journeys in their own words. You'll hear about the shock of discovery, the fight to remain in the only country they've ever known, and the profound personal and bureaucratic battles that define their lives. It's a crucial exploration of belonging, legal limbo, and identity, moving beyond headlines to humanize a systemic failure. Tuning into this podcast means listening to stories that were, for too long, overlooked or silenced, now brought to the forefront with empathy and urgency.
