"We can't assume that because somebody looks happy, that they are. Or that because somebody seems well rounded that they've got nothing going on."
Episode 3 of The Hope Initiative with Suzanne Jones
In this episode of The Hope Initiative, I speak to my first "stranger", written as such in quotations due to the fact that whilst my guest and I have technically never met, we have spent the past 4 months helping each other learn all aspects of how to build a podcast via The Podcast Fellowship (mentioned in Episode 1)
Suzanne Jones - or Suzie Q as she is affectionately known - was someone I got along with immediately. A single mother of 3 from Canada, Suzie's podcast, Happy Healthy Whole Adoptive Parenting, was borne from the experience of a person who was an adopted child herself.
In this episode, we discuss her life, being sent back from her initial adopted family, what potential parents looking to adopt should and shouldn't do and how to stay positive when the world is doing its utmost to force you down.
It is slightly longer than anything I've done thus far, but after an initial 2 hour video conversation via the internet, I couldn't cut anymore.
Suzie was so generous with her time - as she has been since the day we met - so I hope you enjoy this intriguing conversation and may it help give you some hope in your life, if you ever need it.
