Simon Pryce (Red Wiggle) and Lachy Gillespie (Purple Wiggle) have three special guests on their latest episode of “Wiggle Talk,” and it’s all in the family! Debuting on Monday, March 31, the podcast takes a deep dive into the adoption process, specifically for the Hawkin’s family – The Wiggles' very own Yellow Wiggle – Tsehay Hawkins.
Fighting back the tears from this heartfelt and emotional discussion, Simon and Lachy discuss with Tsehay’s adoptive parents Robyn and Reg Hawkins why they decided to become adoptive parents, why they chose to adopt internationally, why Ethiopia was their country of choice, and a step-by-step description of how their adoption process took place – ultimately bringing home their bundle of love!
Tsehay Hawkins comments "Getting a chance to share my story, our family's story, on the Wiggle Talk Podcast felt truly special! We were able to delve quite deep into my upbringing and family life & getting the opportunity to have such a genuine discussion with my fellow wiggles - Simon & Lachy made it a truly memorable experience."
They also discuss their positive experience and further explain their process of adopting Tsehay’s little brother – Kendly. Tsehay expresses her thoughts and feelings about becoming a big sister at the age of 6 and how excited she was to meet her “bestie” from Kendly’s birth country, Colombia.
Since Tsehay and Kendly were adopted as babies, they both are curious to learn more about their birth parents. Simon and Lachy discuss with Robyn and Reg their thoughtful and supportive parenting techniques, not only encouraging their children to follow their curiosity but also supporting them with trips to their birth countries and digging through files of paperwork to track down valuable information about their ancestry.
The episode is a touching, loving, supportive, and informative discussion on not only adoptive parenting but parenting itself. One that any mom, dad, and/or adoptive child will surely embrace.
The Wiggles’ podcast is available on Apple, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and others.
