Welcome to This Adoptee Life Podcast,

In today's episode, I sit down with Mariela Andersen, a fellow Colombian adoptee, and we talk about her book "Home Sweet Casa".

Mariela grew up always knowing she was adopted, and even though hers is what she calls a positive and happy adoption story, she always had a longing to find her first mother, and to know where she came from. Her book came out of the journaling she did while in reunion, and during her trip back to Colombia, to meet her first family.

In this episode, we talk about the process of writing her book, some challenges, and highlights, and we get to hear Mariela read out loud part of the book.
