I lost my grandmother, and my aunt Juliana lost her mother about a month ago.
We asked Dr. Charmaine Borda to interview myself and my biological aunt, 
Dr Juliana  Olson- Deans, because Charmaine is a close friend of Juliana’s and I have loved getting to know her this last year. Both of these women are adoptees who work as clinical psychologists in the world— they have a beautifully 3 dimension view of the trauma, truth and the healing that encases adoption.
I’m deeply grateful that they have returned yet again to impart wisdom and sister ship.
 
GUEST: Dr. Charmaine Borda & Dr Juliana  Olson- Dean
