This week's conversation is with the inimitable Daisye, for whose wisdom, eloquence, and thoughtfulness I am so grateful.

In this episode, I interview three incredible advocates who have worked in the adoption space in Washington state over the past decades: Washington State Supreme Court Justice Mary Yu, attorney and former court commissioner Eric Watness, and attorney and advocate Barbara Wechsler.
