Nation States: Adoption and the American Idea of Belonging
Podcast: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton ShowPublished On: Thu Sep 03 2026
Description: America adopts more children into permanent families than any other wealthy nation, and Steve Yates argues that fact reveals something deeper about the American idea itself. Drawing from adoption data, international comparisons, personal experience as an adoptive father, and a memorable White House encounter involving President George W. Bush and Romania, he explores how law, love, and shared commitment can define family and citizenship beyond bloodlines. Share your thoughts and experiences with adoption, family, and belonging. Follow Nation States with Yates for clear, common-sense insights where Steve Yates serves as your personal national security advisor, breaking down world events in ways that matter to Main Street, not just Washington.
