58 - Adoption - Part I, with Shelby Dickinson

In this week’s episode of Voices of Your Village we dove into the first part of our adoption series and answered your questions about the logistics of adoption, open and closed adoptions, and the legal and financial aspects of adoption. I had the opportunity to chat with adoptive parent Shelby Dickinson. She shared her experience adopting her son and dug deep into the cultural narrative around adoption and how that has informed her experience and her choices regarding her son’s adoption. Tune in today to learn more about how adoption works, the spectrum on which open adoption exists, and how vital emotional intelligence becomes in the relationships created by adoption.    Love this podcast?
