The One Where an Adoption Journey Gets Messy

On this episode I become a mom! But it never really is that simple is it? My son's birth mom joins me today as we discuss the highs and very low lows of our adoption journey from each of our perspectives. Every adoption story is so different, each one is unique. I am blessed that Patricia and I can now call each other friends. But it definitely didn’t start that way.

Patricia is a 37 year old mother and wife. She is raising her daughter and two stepson’s. She is also the mother of two adopted children.
