Foster Care + National Adoption Awareness Month with Adoptee + Birth Mom, Shonda Larson
Manage episode 382324033 series 3320612
November is National Adoption Awareness Month, a month to bring awareness to kids + teens in foster care that are in need of an adoption placement. However, over the years, NAAM has become a month to bring awareness to adoption, as a whole.
This week, Mal + Kate welcome Funding Love Birth Mom Vacation Alumni, Shonda Larson, to the show as she shares her experience as an adoptee that was adopted from foster care at the age of three. Shonda is a full time student pursuing her passion for helping others. Her heart is focused on educating others on adoption from the perspective of being an adoptee and a birth mother as well as educating the benefits of open adoptions, and allowing all members of the triad to get together to share sacred space and their stories. She believes laughing and kindness, with a little bit of sass, is the answer to any question. When not talking about adoption, Shonda is a spontaneous kind of adventurer; stay up till 2 am baking, drink too much coffee kinda person. She laugh lots, cries all the time, and loves oh so hard.
