The Story of How my Life was Touched by Adoption and Foster Care

The Story of How my Life was Touched by Adoption and Foster Care

In this episode, I introduce you to who I am and what my adoption and foster care journey has been like. It has taken me quite a while to reach the point where I was ready to put my background in the spotlight for a few reasons. I was incredibly eager in the early days of Adoption Uncovered to learn from others and start creative discussions about ways to make foster care and adoption better for everyone involved. Focusing on the insight I could gain from others and talking about aspects of foster care and adoption I had no personal experience with seemed far more urgent than talking about myself. It also took me some time to sort out which pieces of my story were mine to tell. My story doesn't just belong to me. It belongs to my adopted kids and everyone else in my immediate family who have been part of the ride. I have journaled about this topic, read articles related to it, and consulted with family members like my husband and my adopted son, who is now an adult. They have given me their blessing to invite you to get to know us better. Welcome into our family, and my life touched by adoption and foster care this time on the podcast.
