My guest today is Elena Hall. Elena is a LMSW, adoptee, author, and speaker who has a passion for adoption advocacy that stems from her faith and family. She loves to write, dance, sing, and tell stories. Her goal is to aid those in the adoption triad to promote healing and growth within the adoption community and empower readers to share their own stories. Today, Elena shares her adoption story, what she learned from writing Through Adopted Eyes, a collection of adoptee memoires, and the children’s book Adoption is Both. Elena also shares the role faith has played in her life and powerful insight into how faith language effects adoptees and their identity formation. Alright, let’s get to it!
