Hanna Wallensteen is a psychologist, an adoptee, a mom, and an advocate for Ethiopian adoptees. Here is the link to her wonderful, insightful YouTube discussion.

While I have not yet had the joy of meeting Hanna in person, I know her through her beautiful essay in “Lions Roaring Far from Home: an Anthology by Ethiopian Adoptees.” We chose her essay intentionally to close out the book. If you’ve read “The Return” from our book, you know its gentle power.

The YouTube discussion was presented by the Ethiopian Adoptee Collective, as well as Adoptee Diaries, and Ethiopian Adoptees of the Diaspora. Please be sure to follow these groups!

Deep gratitude to Hanna and to the Ethiopian adoptees and groups who produced this great video.
