The Adoption and Fostering Podcast

Episode 60 - An Interview with Twayna Mayne


Listen Later

In this episode Al speaks to Twayna Mayne author of the Loco Parentis Podcast, comedian and adoptee about her experiences growing up in care and making the decision to be adopted in her mid teens. It a remarkable story and Twayna is open and honest about her experiences and views on transracial adoption amongst many other things. 
Scott and Al tentatively discuss thoughts on transracial adoption then move onto the sad news that After Adoption have closed as well as bantering on the AUK survey, a bizarre WhatsApp group and a disastrous Radio 2 interview. It's a little longer than usual as Scott recounts a tale from his much publicised stag doo in the final 10 mins. 
There the mixing is a little off this week as there's been a little software bother, fear not, we're on it. As always a cheeky review on iTunes here would be appreciated and if you're really keen you could vote for us at the Podcast awards here.
