Brett Carleton and Dave Overholser join us to talk about the creation of their popular YouTube channel and Facebook page, a common bond as adult Asian adoptees, some of the things you should never say to someone who's been adopted and some of the things their parents did that made a huge difference as they grew up.
Dave O and Brett also dive into the idea of neuroplasticity and the hope it brings. You're going to love this episode!
