On todays episode we talk with Leah, a Birth mother who at 16 years old placed her daughter for adoption. Today they have a very open adoption and are continually working through the complexities of that relationship. We talk about the grief after visits with her daughter, the fear of birth parents, the need for community and support and how we can continue pushing growth in adoption practices by talking about the hard things.

Leah is the voice behind “The Grace Bond,” a blog focused on Faith, Hope, Motherhood and Adoption.
