Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Naari-tives! This time, we talk to Ms Gayatri Abraham, the Founder of Padme Foundation, about an incredibly important subgroup within mothers: Mothers by Adoption. We discuss the nuances that come with being a mother by adoption, the implications it has for mental health, how it can be both very similar to and very different from other pathways to motherhood, and lots more! We can't wait for you to join us in this insightful episode- grab a pen, notepad, a bottle of water, and hit that play button!
