Gina Crotts: Embracing Purpose After Adoption
“But we are all born with what we need to overcome, or to be happy or to make the choice to create a better life for ourselves.”
Gina Crotts' journey is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of 'Finding Strength', hosts Matt and Bethany sit down with Gina, a birth mother who has transformed her personal pain into a beacon of hope for others. Gina's story begins with placing her baby for adoption in 2000, a decision that brought immense emotional challenges. To support others in similar situations, she founded Birth Mother Baskets, a non-profit dedicated to providing emotional support to birth mothers post-placement.
Her path took a turn in 2016 after a severe concussion led her back to her passion for writing and adoption advocacy. Since then, she has been working on her adoption memoir and speaking at various conferences and retreats. Gina opens up about the societal pressures and judgments she faced, and how she found strength by owning her story. She discusses the importance of open communication about sex education and the impact of birth mothers' decisions on adoptees.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of finding purpose through adversity, offering listeners valuable insights into overcoming life's struggles.
