The Lucky Few

75. What makes a family? (Adoption + Motherhood w/Kayla Craig)


Listen Later

Kayla Craig is a mother, author, podcaster, journalist, and so much more. She and her husband lead a diverse family made up of four beautiful children -- including two adopted kiddos and one with Down Syndrome!  After realizing how curious other kids were about her unique family, she put pen to paper and decided to write “Just Really Joseph,” a book to help young children understand what really makes a family.

Today, Kayla is sharing about her motherhood journey, her daughter’s experience with infantile spasms, and how to have hard conversations about faith.  We’re also touching on ethical and safe adoption, white savior complex, and the reasons people actually pursue international adoption.
