In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, we sit down with a courageous adoptive mother who shares the raw and unfiltered truth about her journey of international adoption. While adoption is often seen as a beautiful act of love, she opens up about the hidden struggles—the overwhelming grief, the lack of family support, and the toll it has taken on her marriage.

She bravely discusses the self-doubt, guilt, and emotional weight of motherhood, questioning if she was doing enough and if she was the mother her children truly needed. Through heartbreak and healing, she has learned to navigate the challenges of adoption while finding strength in the journey.

If you are an adoptive/foster parent, considering adoption, or simply want to understand the complexities of this experience, this episode is a must-listen.
