Description
My name is Andres, and as an adoptee, I created The Adoption Door to help people understand the experience a little bit more. I am building a community around this concept because people have a lot of questions and answers regarding this topic, and I hope to share other people's stories with anyone who wants to hear what they have to say. Because this topic has so many facets, there is a lot to learn. It's all about helping each other. Hope you enjoy the podcast.
