Interview with Natalie Vecchione from FASD Hope
We had the pleasure of interviewing Natalie Vecchione of FASD Hope for FASD Awareness Month.
Natalie Vecchione is an FASD parent advocate, podcaster, author, wife and homeschool mom of two. Natalie and her husband, John, built their family through adoption. Their son, who is almost 19, lives with an FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). He has graduated from homeschool and he is an aspiring woodworker. Their daughter is 6 and they have a much different adoption journey with her, as they’re very close with her birth mom. Natalie turned her family’s unique challenges and journey with FASD from career reinventing into a calling when she and her husband began FASD Hope in October 2020.
She been an FASD podcaster for over a year. In October 2020, Natalie & John cofounded “FASD Hope” FASD Hope is a podcast, website and a place for awareness, information and inspiration for those people whose lives have been touched by an FASD. The FASD Hope podcast series is through the lens of parents advocates with over 18 years of lived experience. FASD Hope Podcast is available anywhere you find your podcasts.
