In Chapter 1, we’ll introduce you to Leia and provide an overview of her entire adoption journey with Laurie. This session sets the stage for the series, with future chapters diving deeper into each step along the way. Together, we'll examine the opportunities for growth and improvement at each stage of the adopter’s journey.

This space is designed for education and empathy, not blame. Let’s use Leia’s story as a tool to inspire positive change in the world of adoption and animal welfare.
