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   "Herzenseltern“ a German speaking self-help group for adoptive parents with nearly monthly online meetings: https://www.herzens-eltern.at   To me and my work: https://andreakollmann.com/en/family   To the public Aware Parenting side: http://www.awareparenting.com As always if you’ve experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, the app formerly known as Twitter or email us at [email protected] Listen/subscribe on iTunes here Spotify here Google here
