Conversations - Adoptive Parent Andrea

Hello and welcome to this edition of conversations from the A&F network. 

In this episode I speak to adoptive parent Andrea. She is Austrian and shares her experience of approval and adoption through their system. There are few adoptions in Austria and the culture and practice are markedly different. Andrea explains some of the unique challenges faced as well as her move to raise understanding of Aware Parenting an attachment based parenting model.  

Here's some links to some resources shared by Andrea
