The Adopted Mom Podcast is a show about adoption and motherhood. This podcast was created to provide a safe place for people to share stories about adoption and motherhood. Beautiful, honest, painful, messy stories. I hope that this process will help to create and nurture connections between adoptees and their mothers, among listeners, and all across the board.

It has been really fun recording my podcast these last couple months.
I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new.
Thank you to all 500 of you who listened from Columbia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, United Kingdom and of course the US. I appreciate every single one of you!
On this episode, I discussed what I have learned during this process. What I might do differently next season, and if I want to continue talking about adoption or not.
Thank you for your support!

In this episode, I discussed how to go the extra mile to create a healthy relationship with your bio or adopted child.
As moms we juggle a lot of ‘balls”/ things. It is important to learn which of those balls are glass balls and which are rubber balls. If you let the glass balls fall they will break, but the rubber balls will bounce back. In other words, prioritize those things that are important to you and focus on them. I shared my “glass balls,” I hope these inspire you to find yours.
Thank you for listening!

In this episode, I shared an adoptive mom’s experience on what she wished she would have known before adopting 6 kids. They were all very interesting. Some of them were, birth moms are not scary, adoption ethic, love is not always enough and more.
I also shared a couple of things that I wish I would have known before being adopted. Things like how much your life will change after being adopted. When trying to find your place in your family, you will interrupt bonds and relationships that were already created.
My prayer is that these experiences will help adopted families understand ..read more

This episode was one of my favorites I recorded, it brought back so many amazing memories. In this episode, I discussed how missionaries impacted my life and the lives of other children from the orphanage in Liberia. Some of those missionaries were Clarissa Jaimes, Chabo, Stephanie Jones (Teahn), Fairlite Rogers, Jenny, Melly, and lots more.
If you are someone who God has called to go to third world countries to help orphans, please Go! It is not really about you; it is about the children whose life you are going to impact forever.

I was in bed one night and thought of ten things that could have helped me when I was adopted. I shared those ten things in this episode. Some of them are, cultural differences (explaining them in context), cultural appreciation day at home, being valuable when you talk to your child and many more. I know that this episode will be very useful for families with adopted children, please share it!

This is a continuation of episode 3, in which I discussed my life before the orphanage. In this episode, I talked about the day I was dropped off at the orphanage and what a “normal” day was like. From mealtime, to school, to devotion and everything in between. There are sad memories in this episode, but this is not a “have pity on me episode” this is a gratitude and look how far God has brought me, episode.

TRAUMA! What does it mean? How do you know you are traumatized? Does trauma make a person stronger or weaker? These are some of the questions I answered in this episode. This was a very intense topic that I couldn't discussed on my own, so I reached out to other kids from the orphanage who had similar experiences as me. I read their responses and they all had one thing in common. Please listen to find out! This is a very good episode! Thank you to all my brothers and sisters from Liberia who helped me out with this episode. LIB

Today's episode is a very short one. I have been very busy this week with Dr appointments and other things. This episode is an update of what has been happening with my family especially my 2yrs old son. I concluded with a quick pep talk that I hope will encourage you.

I know that I am a goal setter, I am a finisher and not a quitter. When I decided to quit homeschooling and put my children in school, I felt disappointed and discouraged. In this episode I discussed my homeschool journey. I also have an important message for moms.
