- Kids & Family
Tethered Roots is a conversational style podcast hosted by adult adoptee, Myrlene Mondesir and ASA Executive Director, Erin Nasmyth. Tethered Roots gives everyone who has been touched by adoption a platform to speak their truth and tell their story. We aim for Tethered Roots to give the underrepresented voices a safe space to share. We hope by sharing stories we can create deeper connection and community. Every adoption story is unique but there are also themes running through each story that we hope serves as a point of connection for everyone touched by adoption.
