Welcome to Part 2 of my chat with Tommy Geary! This episode is mostly about our experiences with adoption - Tommy (and his wife) and I are both adoptive parents - but there are coaching nuggets in there as well.

Adoption is an incredibly beautiful, joyful, and heartbreaking journey, and I love to talk about it. Tommy and I share about the profound respect we have for our children's birth mothers and our crazy tales of being matched with our first babies so quickly we didn't even have car seats.

We also talk about the importance of the MGI (the most generous interpretation), feeling your feelings, and connecting with others who have similar experiences.

We hope our stories will resonate with those who have adopted, are considering adoption, or simply have a heart for this beautiful way of creating a family.
