“Kristal Parke is able to create a space that is safe and open for guests on her podcast to share their stories.
The stories I heard encompassed very difficult and painful memories. Kristal gave her guests time to collect their thoughts, while she reflected on their stories with them, often sharing her own memories as a way to connect. I strongly recommend listening to these podcasts. These stories must be heard.”

Highly Recommend
I highly recommend this powerful
documentary.
Heart Wrenching
Full of validation, hope, twists and turns that every adoptee can relate to. It’s just one of those documentaries that you say, ‘Me too!” a dozen or more times. Heart wrenching, sad, joyful, beautiful and educational, Kristal Parke’s story should be mandatory viewing for anyone that is an adoptive parent or is thinking of adoption. A must watch and highly recommended for anyone touched by relinquishment.
Real Deal
Kristal is the real deal when it comes to self improvement, motivation, and inspiration. I adore her and everything she does!!
Deeply Moving
Because She’s Adopted is a deeply moving and thought-provoking documentary that delves into the complexities of identity, belonging, and the emotional weight of adoption. At its heart is a Cree adoptee journey to reconnect with her Indigenous roots an odyssey filled with both joy and struggle as she navigates the emotional terrain of reunion, cultural reclamation, and self-acceptance.
I Cannot Stop Talking About It
I highly recommend this documentary. I had the privilege of seeing a screening of it in Winnipeg. I cannot stop talking about it. I cried a lot. It certainly made me see things in a lot of different lights. What you may think about things are not as they are. It was powerful and very well done. 5 stars for sure!
