How old were you in 2010? Yamal was 3!!! I can't believe this was 16 yrs ago. The energy was unforgettable. In 2010, Spain won their first World Cup. Will Spain do it again? Who are you rooting for? 🇪🇸🇦🇷 #WeAre26 #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCupFinal #Somos26 #SpainVsArgentina #LaRoja #Yamal

The documentary Love Chaos Kin offers a rare, longitudinal perspective on domestic transracial open #Adoption. By centering the entire adoption triad, the film explores the complexities of identity, chosen family, and the lifelong threads that connect them.
