When the Dream Changes: Navigating Grief, Waiting, and Possibility
There are seasons when life quietly shifts, and suddenly the future you imagined no longer feels certain. For some, that uncertainty comes after pregnancy loss or infertility. For others, it follows unexpected changes, like being single longer than planned, walking through divorce, or losing a spouse and facing life in a way you never anticipated. In this episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Heather and Kim speak honestly to those living in that in-between space. They acknowledge the grief that can come with unmet expectations, the exhaustion of waiting, and the fear of not knowing what comes next, especially when it comes to building a family. This conversation offers reassurance, perspective, and hope without pressure. Whether you’re deciding not to pursue parenthood, feeling unsure, or quietly wondering if there may still be a path forward, this episode reminds listeners that curiosity does not require commitment, and learning about options—like adoption—is simply a way to gain clarity. If life hasn’t turned out the way you thought, you’re not alone. And if parenthood is still something you desire, it may be more possible than you realize.
