In Part 1 of today’s interview, Tyler sits down with Renee Gellin, founder of Saving Our Sisters (SOS), to explore her personal experience with infant relinquishment and the systemic issues within private adoption. Renee recounts the “perfect storm” of temporary crises that led her to relinquish her son in 2011. Tyler and Renee unpack common industry misconceptions, breakdown the psychological impact on existing siblings, the history of open adoption as an industry survival strategy, and how unfulfilled open adoption promises create lasting trauma for birth families.
