Tammi VanBuskirk was adopted at age six months to a family already lacking stability. After her parents divorced, she was often left in the care of her maternal grandparents. Tami has lived through many challenges and shares her story of finding community in the Fireside Adoptee Facebook group. Thank you to the many leaders of Fireside who have provided a welcoming space for adopted persons seeking support.
