The Lucky Few

141. Finding “Joy” Through International Adoption (ft. Rebekah Lyons)


Listen Later

Anyone else ever felt a little lost (and by that we mean very anxious) when it comes to balancing motherhood, Down syndrome advocacy, and in some cases, international adoption too? There’s a lot to unpack here, so we have an expert on today! Rebekah Lyons is an author, speaker, podcaster, mother to 4 (2 kiddos with DS), and emotional health advocate. Today she’s encouraging us to surrender by letting go and living free.. (if that sounds scary to you, you’re not alone!). She’s also sharing her incredible adoption story about bringing home her youngest daughter with DS all the way from China, her battle with panic attacks, and her tips for raising emotionally healthy kiddos. Plus we’re sharing all about how each of us answered “yes” to adopting kiddos with DS.. cue the tears! This is a good one, friends.
