In this episode of Adoptees in Arms, I open up about a deeply personal experience—one that almost silenced me. A Facebook post challenged my voice, my truth, and my purpose, leaving me questioning whether sharing my adoptee journey was worth the pain. But through faith, reflection, and the encouragement of those who believe in me, I found the courage to keep speaking.

If you've ever faced negativity for sharing your truth, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about resilience, purpose, and the power of our voices in the face of criticism.

Plus, I’m excited to introduce the Faith Collective for Truth and Healing in Adoption, a space dedicated to faith-driven conversations about adoption. Learn more at adoptionfaithcollective.org.

Let’s keep this conversation going—send me a message or share your experiences. And if this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who needs to hear it.
