In Episode #79 of the UnPerfect Podcast, author/speaker and textile artist Julie Bagamary shares her deeply personal journey into navigating foster and adoptive parenting.

After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, Julie felt a stir to adopt a child affected by the tragedy. What started as a call to action soon became a transformative journey that would change their family forever.
