Happy Halloween and Happy 11th Anniversary to my love. Wild to walk around town, remembering pushing our two little humans around in strollers dressed as Catboy and Gecko from PJ Masks. As an adoptee, I never quite felt comfortable in my family but my husband and I have nurtured such a beau

Maybe once a week I can rally and do my makeup when I’m going on my big outing aka post op appointments with my doctors and I can make a few videos but the majority of the time I’m still feeling rough and need to rest. I still have one drain with heavy output and we’re about 18 days post op. I clea

Warning signs I experienced hours after a perfect FDL panniculectomy: Excessive fluid that filled my drain 4+ times in less than an hour. I fainted. Cold sweats and chills. In and out of consciousness on the way to the hopital. Make sure to call your doc or go to the ER if anythi

This audio just felt perfect because recovery after loose skin removal surgery (FDL panniculectomy) is no joke. I finally got cleared to shower after my one week post op visit and was feeling a bit better. But after showering, doctors appointments, and grocery shopping yesterday I’m definitely

After losing 100 łbs and spending years unlearning body expectations as an adoptee, this procedure feels like reclaiming my body on my own terms. Of course I ended up having a complication and the surgeon had to go back in but I’m finally about to be discharged to go home! #bodytransformati

I love my parents… but let’s be honest, early diagnosis of one of not all of my medical problems would have been helpful. From years of pain, to the guilt of each medical procedures cost, being told I wasn’t making myself sick was harmful to my overall health. But people justify adoptees be

Both equally my moms. Both forever in my heart. And both shaped me to be the mother I am today. I love both and the love and care I receive from both only helps support me. #mothersday #adopteevoices #openadoption #internationaladoption

Happy Mother’s Day…if you celebrate

For many families, Mother’s Day is a day where moms can finally sleep in or wake up to breakfast (or brunch) in bed. The day just might be a little different for foster and adoptive families, as parents need to be extra cognizant that these holidays may affect their family differently. While foster

I’m so over this. They won’t let me communicate with him but they sure as hell will continue to take my money to buy him food and basic hygiene items. #jailtok #oldersister #fyp #siblingproblems #adopteesoftiktok

What is your why? I decided to become a mom at a very young age. I was twenty-three when I had my first child, and the experience changed my perspective of families and what love is. Although my decision to have a child was in part influenced by my infertility struggles, I also just felt like pa
