119 – Refined By Fire

Tezita (te zi TA) called me from Sacramento, CA, but she tells a harrowing story that originates in Ethiopia. Tezita’s adopted family had many other international adoptees, but she was singled out for solitary confinement.&nbsp;She was sent back to her homeland where she thrived mentally in a boarding school away from her adopters.&nbsp;When she returned she witnessed more abuse and decided she’d had enough.&nbsp;Kicked out of the family, she was forced to thrive independently relying on her communities in faith and adoption.This is Tezita’s journey.&nbsp; <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/WAIReally">Support this podcast</a>
