Episode 25: Lisa Dibb - Love Makes You A Mountaineer

from Your Neighbourhood Show By Ubuntu Foundation · host Carolyn Vincent

Lisa Dibb met her husband Steven at a party; he turned to his best friend and said, "I'm going to marry her," before the two of them had even spoken. Forty years later, their story includes an infertility journey neither of them expected, and a decision that took them across the world and back, more than once.In this episode, the last in the current series, Lisa shares the real story behind the love, the heartbreak, and the family she and Steven built through adoption: two sisters from Ethiopia, and two brothers who arrived years apart, the youngest after a three-year legal fight that very nearly didn't end in their favour. Lisa is also one of the real-life storytellers featured in Trent Dalton's Love Stories, and speaks openly here about infertility, IVF, and what it actually takes to bring a family together against the odds.It's a conversation about love in its most stubborn, determined form, and a reminder, in Lisa's own words, that "love makes you a mountaineer."
