9 - Joe ‘Taco’ Ormond - I was adopted from El Salvador at 3 months old and now I help children in need

In episode nine of Someone's Gotta Do It, I sit down with Joe ’Taco’ Ormond. At just three months old, Taco was given up by his birth mother in El Salvador in the hope he could have a better life. Soon after, he was adopted by a couple in the UK who gave him exactly that.He talks about growing up adopted, his love of football, building his own sports massage business, and how the COVID-19 pandemic led him into residential childcare, working with children from some of the most complex and difficult backgrounds imaginable.There's a quiet irony that isn't lost on him and he now spends his life helping children who, like him, were need of a better start.He also opens up about meeting his blood sister for the first time, the grief of losing his adoptive mother, becoming a father himself, his alter-ego Taco and the things that keep him grounded.This one is about full circles, and it stayed with me long after we stopped recording. You can follow us on social media for behind the scenes content;Instagram - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastTikTok - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastFacebook - SomeonesgottadoitpodcastYouTube - SomeonesgottadoitpodAll feedback and guest suggestions welcomed! - [email protected] like and subscribeThis episode is sponsored by two-putts - www.two-putts.comUse discount code ’SGDI’ for 15% off your order
