In this debut episode, we introduce ourselves—Sarah Harper, a trauma therapist and adoptee, and Brenda Chapel, an adoptive parent in an open adoption—and share the inspiration behind launching Harper-Chapel: The Constellation of Adoption.
We explore how our personal experiences within the adoption constellation have shaped our perspectives and strengthened our mission to create a more compassionate and equitable world for adoptees. From centering adoptee voices to fostering trauma-informed care, we discuss why these conversations are essential and how they’ve influenced our own journeys. Join us as we lay the foundation for what’s to come and invite you to be part of the constellation.
