S4 E3: Adoption


Listen Later

Student host Karina Almeida focuses on adoption. There are not many out there that do not adopt children who are in need and there needs to be a change to that. Adopting a child no matter what age they are is giving a new lighting opportunity to them. We have a special guest as well who gives her experiences of being in an orphanage and how her life changed after being adopted.
