In this episode of the Adoption Roadmap podcast, Rebecca Gruenspan sits down with Aida Phillips to discuss her personal adoption journey and the cultural dynamics at play within the Hispanic community. Aida shares how language barriers and cultural taboos shaped her experience, and underscores the need for Spanish-language adoption resources. The conversation explores transracial adoption, the importance of representation, and the role of birth parents. Aida also reflects on the power of love, resilience, and identity in building a connected, multicultural family.
