About this listen

Adoption is never simple. It’s a journey filled with love, loss, identity, and the longing to belong. 💔💞


In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal—my own adoption story. From the traumatic circumstances surrounding my birth to the years of legal battles and emotional complexity, I open up about how being adopted has shaped who I am and the mother I’ve become.


I also talk about the different types of adoption—domestic 👶🏽, foster care 🏡,and kinship 👨‍👩‍👧—and the emotional layers that come with each. Adoption always begins with loss, but it can also be a story of healing and hope. ✨


Whether you’re an adoptee, an adoptive parent, or someone navigating the process, I hope this episode reminds you that your feelings are valid, your story matters, and you are not alone. 🤍


🧡 You are not a mistake. You are not unwanted. You are chosen. You are worthy of love and belonging.


Thank you for holding space with me.

— Simone
