Chosen Family: How to talk about adoption


Listen Later

Each family is made differently. Some people are born into their family, while others are adopted or fostered. On today’s episode we’re talking about chosen families and how to talk about them in an uplifting way.

Host Naomi Wadler was adopted at 7 months old and tells us about her found family. We speak to Peter Mutabazi about how his own adoption fueled him to foster over 13 kids. Then his son Anthony joins us to talk about their found family. Correspondent Luria Freeman teaches us how to talk about and celebrate adoption within our families.
