In this heartfelt episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Kim King sits down with Maureen, a two-time single adoptive mom who followed her calling to grow her family through international adoption—twice.
Maureen shares the joys, challenges, and life-changing moments of adopting as a single parent. We spend special time talking about her daughter’s adoption from China, including navigating special needs adoption and the unexpected blessings that came afterward.
One incredible surprise? Maureen later connected with the adoptive family of another little girl who had grown up alongside her daughter in the orphanage. Today, their families live close enough to spend time together regularly— maintaining a connection that the girls will cherish for years to come.
Maureen also offers encouragement to hopeful adoptive parents who may feel overwhelmed by the process or worried about cost: don’t let fear stop you from pursuing your dream of family.
