    This week I am hosting one of the inspiring figures in the world of adoption, adult adoptee and Adoptees On podcast host Haley Ridke. Adoptees On (www.adopteeson.com) is in my personal top 3 resources about adoption and if you don't know it, you absolutely have to check it out. Haley is an inspiration as podcaster for me. If I will learn to have half her grace and respect as a host, I will be proud with myself. Haley shares her own story about being adopted as an infant, her failed attempt of bringing her natural mother back into her life, and her healthy reunion with her natural father. *** Resources www.adopteeson.com Adoptees On - Haley's adoption www.adopteeson.com/resources/ Haley's adoption resource goldmine www.dearadoption.com Dear Adoption - a platform giving voice to adoptees
