The Kinship Voice Episode 1 - Heather - A Fictive Kin's Story

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Kinship Voice.

In this episode, Norma Hatfield talks with Heather, a fictive kin caregiver who stepped up at age 41 to care for a baby she loved and raised for 2½ years.

Heather shares what it means to become family not through blood, but through love, commitment, and showing up when a child needs them.

Hosted by Norma Hatfield, a kinship caregiver for 12 years and longtime kinship advocate, The Kinship Voice is a place for real stories and honest conversations about kinship care — from the caregivers who live it.
