Because Mother's day is complex when you are affected by adoption, and people in my groups had started talking about mother's day feels in various groups and other platforms, I decided to open up a zoom room and have a Mother's day chat. I invited people in from all the platforms that I remembered while spontaneously putting this together yesterday. (TikTok, FB groups, Instagram, and twitter.)
I really didn't expect anyone to show up with such short notice, but there were 9 participants, and it was a nice mixture of perspectives from the adoption community.
I may try to make this a yearly thing. We'll see if my ADHD brain remembers next year. (Hint, I might need reminded.)
As always this is an unedited, raw, organic conversation about adoption. And typical to zoom, there were some minor connection issues here and there, and audio issues.
I hope if you listen, you will get something out of this conversation.
If people leave some feed back about this episode, I will do a mini episode where I read them all.
I finally graduated from university, so I am going to be able to produce more episodes in a consistent way. I already have some planned for this week!
If you are interested in being on the podcast, email me at [email protected]
I have a Facebook group for all affected by adoption called Conversations about adoption.
And a Facebook group for adoptees only as well.
