Episode 49 - Heather's Story - Down Syndrome, Adoption, and Saying Yes The Mama Sisterhood
-
- Parenting
Today, I have the honor of talking with Heather Avis (author, podcaster, and speaker) about her unique and heart-warming family journey. Heather and her husband have adopted three children, two of which have Down Syndrome. Heather shares honestly about what it was like to have a plan and then to bravely say yes to a path that was definitely not part of this plan. She shares about open heart surgeries, birth family relationships, having a family with people of different races and cultures, and what makes each of her children unique and special.
Heather's books:
- The Lucky Few: Finding God's Best in the Most Unlikely Places
- Scoot Over and Make Some Room: Creating a Space Where Everyone Belongs
- Everyone Belongs (children's book)
- Different - A Great Thing to Be (children's book)
