Part of Adoptive parent conversation series!
Interracial Adoptee Panelist, Laurie Nordahl chats with her parents about how the family received her when they brought her home from Colombia, ethics behind adoption and the importance of consent when someone needs space to process their feelings. I gave Laurie core questions and she created her own powerful conversations that surprised even her. Such incredible work!
