When kids get adopted, it's definitely not always a smooth transition — it's a massive adjustment for the entire family. In this episode, Mark Gregston sits down to chat with a couple of Heartlight teens, including a 16-year-old girl who was adopted, along with her younger sister, only a few years ago. While her adoption story looked perfect on the outside, she struggled to adjust because of years of trauma. Tune in to hear this powerful story!
