Jessica Davis: "You can just keep her if you want"

April 09, 2020


Today we have episode two in our three-part series on intercountry adoption. If you haven't listened to the previous episode with Lynelle Long, please do so before listening to this one.


I'm honoured to have Jessica Davis with us, talking about her incredible, heartwrenching and heartwarming journey of adopting a child from Uganda - Namata. Jessica's adoption story is an emotional rollercoaster: beginning with excitement about bringing a child into their family, to the realisation that all was not as it seemed, and eventually - taking Namata home to Uganda.


Jessica runs Kugatta - an initiative to bring families together who have been separated by intercountry adoption.
