334 | Tanya Kaanta, Ph.D. Today I'm joined by Dr. Tanya Kaanta, the owner and director of The Ties Program, which guides adoptees and their loved ones on heritage journeys to their birth countries. Tanya shares her experience of a health crisis that left her unable to speak or walk. We also discuss how she made room for adoption grief in her forties, and how heritage travel can offer opportunities to explore our identities and connect with other adoptees.   Full Show Notes and Transcript Here   Join our adoptee community on Patreon here   Check out our upcoming live events here!   Find out more about Adoptees for Family Preservation here!   Support Haley's new podcast here!   This podcast is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
