Listen Later

In this gripping episode of See the Miracle, Brady Murray talks to fashion designer and first-time single mom, Joanna Gott, who shares her transformative journey to adopt her daughter, Penelope, from China. After a painful divorce and career setbacks, Joanna’s dream of motherhood grew stronger as she faced unimaginable challenges—none more daunting than the COVID-19 pandemic, which delayed her adoption plans for years.

Joanna opens up about the emotional, logistical, and cultural hurdles of international adoption, as well as the raw realities of becoming a single mom. She reflects on her first year with Penelope and the hope that one day, her daughter will become an advocate for other children in need of loving homes. This is a powerful, no-holds-barred look at the complexities of adoption, resilience, and the life-changing power of family.
