195. When the Plan Changes: From Fertility Treatments to Adoption
Episode 195
Thursday, 19 February, 2026
In this episode, Aimee speaks with "Q" about infertility, identity, and redefining motherhood. She shares her diagnosis of PCOS and the emotional toll of years of fertility treatments, including multiple IUIs. Q discusses the decision she made to look into other options. She opens up about the heartbreak of closed doors, including her 15-year hope of adopting from Ethiopia, which became complicated after policy changes. F shares how she ultimately built her family through domestic adoption in the United States after navigating the cultural pressure to have biological children, and stereotypes about fertility in Black women. This conversation is a powerful reminder that family-building can look different than expected and still be deeply intentional and sacred.
