The Season Finds Us

In this episode, we settle into the season-literally and figuratively. We talk about hunting season,the excitement of an upcoming fishing trip and our first Christmas together. From outdoor traditions to holiday reflections ,this conversation is about building new memories

From deer stands to dinner tables

What starts as a casual conversation about hunting quickly turns into something much deeper-family, legacy and the strange beauty of finding blood relatives later in life.

Another Point Of View

In this episode we bring in a totally new point of view from David's youngest daughter. A perspective that is unique and different, from a family member that knew bits and pieces of the adoption story throughout her life. She has watched her dad gain a brother while she added an uncle to her own life.

Temporada 1

Bonding Without a Blueprint

Fifty years apart means a lot of catching up-and not just on the big life events. In this episode, we open up about what it's been like to build our relationship from the ground up: learning each other's quirks, figuring out how we fit into one another's lives, and navigating the sometimes delicate web of new family dynamics.

The Brother Who Doesn't Know

In this episode, we open up about the brother we've never met-the one who doesn't know we exist. While we were both adopted into different families, he stayed with our biological mother. He's lived a life that's been anything but easy. It's a story of invisible ties, quiet grief and the feeling of losing someone you've never even had the chance to meet.

The call with our birth mother

After 50 years, we finally picked up the phone and dialed the number that would connect us to the woman who brought us into the world. What followed was a rollercoaster of emotions: nerves, tears, laughter-and a whole lot of "Wait...are we actually doing this?" From awkward pauses to unexpected jokes, this call had it all.

The Call That Changed It All

It all started with a little tube of spit and a whole lot of curiosity. In this episode, we dive into the wild ride of taking a DNA test-because nothing says family reunion like mailing your saliva to a lab. But what came back wasn't just a list of ancestors...it was a brother. We open up about getting the results, the shock, the hope and the nerves leading up to the very first phone call. It was awkward, beautiful, hilarious, and the beginning of something we never thought we'd find-each other

He's out there, somewhere.

In this episode, we go back to the moment everything changed: when our parents told us we we're adopted. As kids, it was a lotto take in-and even more overwhelming when we learned we had siblings out there somewhere. We share what those conversations were like, how we processed it at different ages, and how it shaped our sense of identity growing up. And now, decades later, we reflect on what it means to finally sit across from each other, no longer wondering, but knowing: we found each other

Plot Twist: We're Adopted

In this episode, we open up about the moment we each found out we were adopted-and how that truth shaped the course of our lives. From confusion to clarity, anger to acceptance, we unpack the impact adoption had on our identities. thentous@gmail.com

The Story Begins

In this deeply personal episode, we reflect on the day we both arrived at our parents' home for the first time. We open up about our parents' incredible hearts and their desire to adopt- how that decision shaped not just our lives, but the lives of everyone around us. A powerful beginning to a forever story.
