Motherhood is a complicated subject for me as an adoptee, so on Mother's Day I did a personal spread that examined things that I've inherited from my biological and adoptive families, as well as what I am passing on to each of my children. I walk through each of the cards in the spread and how they relate to my life. I share deeply personal thoughts and feelings that were brought up in the week following, including my fear of loss, my coming out experience, and some of the struggles in my parenting journey!
