31. Let's Talk Adoption - With Social Worker Tamara Mwale
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
November is Adoption Awareness Month!In the last episode, I sat down with a Zambian mom who opened up about her personal journey of adopting a child. This time, I am with a social worker, Tamara Mwale, who brings us into the world of adoption from a professional perspective.Together, we unpack what the adoption process in Zambia actually looks like, from the screening and home assessments to the emotional and legal steps involved. Tamara also helps us understand how children end up in care facilities in the first place, shedding light on the realities behind the statistics and the stories we rarely get to hear.We also dive into fostering. Yup, you can foster in Zambia! We find out what it means, why it's so needed in Zambia, and how ordinary families can step into the gap for vulnerable children. Whether you're considering adoption, curious about the system, or simply want to understand how to support children in need, this episode will give you clarity, empathy, and a deeper appreciation for the work happening behind the scenes.If you're interested in more information on fostering and adoption in Zambia, visit:Alliance for Children Everywhere Zambia: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1Di9S8FH4X/?mibextid=wwXIfrEmail: info@acezambia.orgWebsite: www.caczambia.orgMinistry of Community Development and Social Services: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/17SyPvEJjP/?mibextid=wwXIfrEmail: info@mcdss.gov.zmWebsite: www.mcdsw.gov.zmOther Resources:Creating a family podcast: https://www.CreatingaFamily.orgNCFA Short Courcess: https://adoptioncouncil.org/courses/Follow Us on the socials:TikTok: @zoeys.kornerInstagram: @zoeys.korner or @misskonie25
