IN OUR COMMUNITY - PODCASTS ft. ASTRID
Recently Astrid had the opportunity to speak on the Pulled By The Root by Heidi Hamilton Marble. Astrid’s reflection of her experience: "Over the years I have been interviewed for my work and my adoption journey and until last fall I had never been interviewed by another adoptee. Since then, I had the pleasure and honor to be interviewed by six adult adoptees on their various podcasts. As someone who has been doing this work for over 30 years getting to see and support my adoptee community to create programming is HUGE!! I am in awe of my adoptee community who are building and creating spaces for us to share our experiences."
