Our adoption experience has put us on a humbling learning path when it comes to parenting. I benefit greatly from the free resources many experts, adoptees, and adoptive parents make available for everyone to enjoy. This is why I decided to share with others my findings and the testimonies of the great people I’m meeting during my family journey.

The podcast Adoption Conversations launched at the start of the year and it was met with great enthusiasm: it’s been one of my most visited posts ever! As soon as I gather content to commit to a regular schedule, I will make the episodes available on the main podcast apps. In the meantime, you can listen to them here on my blog.

This time I was joined by Melissa Corkum, adult adoptee and adoptive parent who blogs at The Corkum Board. She is the mother of six, through birth and adoption, and her family story is quite amazing. You can follow her on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook, and make sure to explore her podcast and her Youtube channel.

Here are the resources Melissa shared:
