<p>I sit down with <strong>Alicia Soon Hershey</strong>, 41, a Korean transnational adoptee now living in Barcelona. Soon Hershey was the very first adoptee interviewed on the podcast back in 2016 and our conversation book-ends the podcast in the 165th episode (!). We get a chance to hear how she has evolved in the past eight years and her outlook for life now that she is a mother herself.</p>

This is one of the pioneering podcasts on intercountry adoptees. Started in 2016, Adapted Podcast has interviewed more than 130 Korean intercountry adoptees on their lived experiences. The podcast started as a Fulbright research project in Korea and has been now downloaded more than 100,000 times around the world.
