We are modeling how to have a conversation about adoption with a loved one. You’d think that it was easy, but let me tell you—I have friends who’ve never talked to their husbands or adoptive families about their adoption. Again, I’m not saying that you need to talk about adoption all the time, or ever-- for that matter.  I am simply examining why aren’t we talking about? Is it because of fear? 

This episode Jamie-Lyn Richartz has a lovely conversation with her adoptive mother, Denise.  This will inspired you to speak from the heart more often.
