  • Summary

  • The Adopted Mom Podcast is a show about adoption and motherhood. This podcast was created to provide a safe place for people to share stories about adoption and motherhood. Beautiful, honest, painful, messy stories. My hope is that this process will help to create and nurture connections - between adoptees and their mothers, among listeners, and all across the board. I am your host, Rita Perry-Jones, an adoptee from Liberia, West Africa. Each week, I will share personal stories, interview other adoptees, moms and adoptive moms.

    It has been really fun recording my podcast these last couple months.

    I am so proud of myself for stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something new.

    Thank you to all 500 of you who listened from Columbia, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, New Zealand, United Kingdom and of course the US. I appreciate every single one of you!

    On this episode, I discussed what I have learned during this process. What I might do differently next season, and if I want to continue talking about adoption or not.  

    Thank you for your support!

    Thank you for listening!

  • Episode 13, The importance of a healthy mother and daughter relationship.
    Jun 16 2022

    In this episode, I discussed how to go the extra mile to create a healthy relationship with your bio or adopted child.

    As moms we juggle a lot of ‘balls”/ things. It is important to learn which of those balls are glass balls and which are rubber balls. If you let the glass balls fall they will break, but the rubber balls will bounce back. In other words, prioritize  those things that are important to you and focus on them.  I shared my “glass balls,” I hope these inspire you to find yours.

    Thank you for listening!

  • Episode 12 What we wish we knew!
    Jun 7 2022

    In this episode, I shared an adoptive mom’s experience on what she wished she would have known before adopting 6 kids. They were all very interesting.  Some of them were, birth moms are not scary, adoption ethic, love is not always enough and more.

    I also shared a couple of things that I wish I would have known before being adopted. Things like how much your life will change after being adopted.  When trying to find your place in your family, you will interrupt bonds and relationships that were already created.

    My prayer is that these experiences will help adopted families understand adoption from different perspectives and encourage them to create deeper relationships with their child(ren)

    Thank you for listening!
