About this listen

In this episode we interview Alexis Lira, a previous foster youth who was adopted as a teenager. You will hear about her early life and how it led to her being placed in Texas foster care and her journey from having no desire to be adopted, to then agreeing to be placed on the Heart Gallery website, and then meeting and being adopted by her parents. Her story is not without bumps along the way, but her resilience and that of her adoptive parents shines through the entirety of her story.
