Jori's life events of adoption and divorce have helped strengthen her relationship with God.

#latterdaysaints #mormon #comeback
"Going through years of therapy and working through adoption trauma for myself and placing my own baby for adoption has always been a very big pain point for me because I was placed for adoption and didn't have a choice. That choice was my birth mom's choice. And then I turned around and placed my baby for adoption and she didn't have that choice. Even though I felt like that was the best thing to do for us at the time, I still struggle with that. We actually have opened the adoption up more and we have had some deep discussions about what it means to be adopted, what it means to be a birth mom and how hard it can be. It's never that the baby is not wanted. They are always wanted. I always want to reiterate that with her and with all adoptees that might feel that way. That is always a bittersweet part of my story. But there is also joy, you know, what is sorrow and pain without joy and happiness? Even though I love my biological mom dearly and my half siblings, I can't imagine my life without my adopted family, who I'm sealed to. I love the life that I've created and the relationships I have with my siblings and my nieces and nephews and my sweet parents who raised me in the gospel. Who knows if I would have had that without being adopted."

“You are enough, you’re mine, you’ve always been enough.” Those words hit my heart in such a wonderful way! Thank you for sharing that! I needed to hear that too.

That is a wonderful young woman who relies on the gospel. Families are complicated. She has grown with so much grace despite all of the challenges she and all of her multilayered family have faced. So great to hear that she has the community and support that she and all her children now enjoy. 😊
