What if you found strength in the face of multiple miscarriages, a divorce, and the lengthy path to adoption?
Our guest for this episode, Anna Maria de Dio, did just that. She takes us through her decade-long journey navigating the ups and downs of life, a testament to her resilience and determination. Not only did Anna Maria conquer personal hardships, but she also successfully integrated her adopted daughter into her family unit, and she's here to share how she did it.
As we unpack Anna Maria's story, we delve into the profound children's book series she's authored. Inspired by her own experiences with adoption, these books are changing the way we talk about adoption with children. But that's not all. Anna Maria offers valuable insight for anyone considering adoption. She emphasizes the significance of thorough research, forging ties with other adoptive families, and seeking professional support. This episode is a tribute to unconventional paths to family and the enduring spirit needed to stay committed to the end goal. Listening to Anna Maria, you'll find yourself inspired and empowered about the possibilities of family, adoption, and steadfast focus on what truly matters.
