The Many Colors of Adoption A Conversation with Author Elena Hall
Elena, our guest for this heartwarming episode, offers a rare and authentic window into the world of adoption—spanning the journey from her early days in Russia to the intricate relationships and identity explorations that followed. Adoption is not a monochromatic experience, and Elena's literary contributions—"Through Adopted Eyes" and children's literature—are testament to the kaleidoscope of stories within the adoptee community. Her candid reflection on her positive adoption story, the nuances of personality development, and the "gray areas" in adoption challenges us to reframe our understanding. Whether you're intimately familiar with adoption, seeking to support someone who is, or you're simply here to gain a new perspective on identity and community, this episode promises a mix of heartfelt stories, laughter, and education.
