Honor Roberts chats with Fr Toby about an upcoming film screening hosted by SPUC and Catholic Mothers. Adoption stories are often told from the perspective of adoptees or adoptive parents, leaving the voices of birth mothers largely unheard. The Inner Sea, an award-winning documentary by filmmaker Kate Stapleton, changes that narrative by offering a rare glimpse into the adoption experience through the eyes of a birth mother. Directed by Stapleton, who also plays the role of the first-time filmmaker and birth mother, The Inner Sea invites audiences to witness the emotional complexities of adoption, identity, and healing. MORNINGS WITH RADIO MARIA airs live every weekday at 9am, featuring a wide range of guests with interesting stories to tell and things to share.
