What effect does being adopted have on loving relationships? This is a question that I had not even considered (even though we have an adopted daughter ourselves) until Tom and I met Joi Fisher-Griffin, who happens to be adopted herself.

The reality is there are approximately 5 million adult Americans alive today who have been adopted. It's not something that is often discussed on our journey to love for a lifetime; however, it has an impact nonetheless.

Adoptees commonly struggle with:

• Feelings of loss and grief.

• Problems with developing an identity.

• Reduced self-esteem and self-confidence.

• Increased risk of substance abuse.

• Higher rates of mental health disorders, such as depression and PTSD.

Come listen in on our conversation with Joi, as she shares her journey full of twists and turns as she married and began a family herself; along with what one can do to overcome the challenges both big small being adopted can cause. According to Joi…there is a path that leads to finding joy.

If you or someone you are committed to is adopted, this episode is for you. Don’t miss this opportunity for a real and raw conversation on the impact adoption has on our ability to create healthy relationships with ourselves and with our partners emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

With a quote from Seth Godin about the surprise and delight of connection, Amy shares how she’s often reluctant to connect out of fear. She shares what Terry, a friend from recovery, believes - that addiction is the opposite of connection before welcoming Terry and Lisa to the show. They talk about what sponsorship means universally within the recovery space, and personally for each of them. With thoughtful insights and a willingness to be vulnerable, the conversation is a powerful one about the importance of connection with others and how it may lead to surprise and delight.
