This hour, Vermont Edition discusses various types of chosen families with Vermonters.

The holidays are upon us, and for some, that means spending time with their chosen families. For many Vermonters, they've had help getting through the year from people who may not be blood related or have formal family ties. This hour, Connor Cyrus will hear three Vermonters share their stories of finding their chosen families and the experiences they've shared.

Our guests are:

  • Ita Meno
  • AnnMarie Lavalette
  • Natanya Lara

Broadcast live on Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022, at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
