I've had someone ask me: how could you do that to your baby? So I have conscious contact with him and his parents, and I got to handpick them.
What happens when a life starts in a Russian orphanage and winds through the dark corridors of addiction and exploitation? In this heart-rending episode of 'Relevant Recovery Radio', host Heather Mosher sits down with Christina Stafford, who shares her incredible story of survival and redemption. Adopted at just two years old, Christina's early life was marked by trauma and a constant fear of abandonment.
These deep-seated fears led her down a path of addiction and depression, making her vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Christina's tale isn't just about the lows, though. It's about the climb back up. She recounts how her spiritual journey became a beacon of hope, guiding her towards recovery. One pivotal moment was giving up her baby for adoption, a decision that brought both heartache and healing.
Today, she maintains a special bond with her child and his adoptive parents, a testament to her resilience and faith. This episode touches on heavy themes like addiction, mental health, and exploitation, but it also shines a light on the power of spirituality and the possibility of redemption. Christina's story is a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar struggles, offering compassion and inspiration in equal measure.
