In today’s episode, we sit down with Dezaray, The Outspoken Adoptee, a domestic private infant adoptee adopted transracially in 1976. Left in a hospital by her biological family due to racial and religious biases, Dezaray grew up in a home that taught children to “be seen, not heard.”
In this conversation, she shares the challenges of growing up unseen, the abuse she endured, and the moment she reclaimed her voice. We dive deep into the adoption system, its flaws, and the personal and societal impact it has on children. Dezaray’s story is raw, honest, and empowering—a reminder that your voice always matters.
Whether you’re child-free, thinking about adoption, or simply want to hear a story of resilience and triumph, this episode will challenge what you think you know and inspire you to stand in your truth.
