For the Ell of It with Ellie Topinka

Choosing and Celebrating Special Needs with Melissa Tubergen


Listen Later

Today I am talking to my friend Melissa about her beautiful family, but specifically about how her husband and herself chose to adopt a little girl with down syndrome from China. We discuss how Gertie has impacted their family, how they encourage others to celebrate differences, and more. 

If this conversation doesn't make you feel joyful, I don’t know what will. I love her love for her family and how she celebrates all of her kids and their abilities. I strive to parent as beautifully as Melissa does. I have linked all of the resources we talked about in this episode below and be sure to follow @fortheellofit on Instagram for behind the scenes, episode insights and more.

And if you haven’t already, I would love for you to leave a rating or review of the podcast on whatever platform you listen!

As always friends, thank you for being here.

xoxo, Ell
