S3 EP3: Vicki Miller, from Adoptee to Adoptive Parent and a late biological discovery

49m · Led By A Heartstring · 19 Jun 14:01

A passionate advocate for adoption and an adoptee herself, Vicki understands all sides of adoption, from the good times to the struggles. Whilst living overseas in Fiji as an expat, Vicki fostered a child. As her partner's business took them back to Australia Vicki heartbreakingly had to leave him in Fiji. Back in Australia, Vicki had numerous failed attempts at in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and natural conception, so she became an adoptive parent to two children. Vicki is passionate about giving back and works in the not-for-profit sector, currently at Shake It Up Foundation Australia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
