The Reality of Adoption — ft. Becca Gordon

In this episode of RAW, host Alison Hite (Thacker) – founder of TheCheekyClean and Conscious Cart – sits down with Becca Gordon — mom, entrepreneur, and founder of Bloom Social Haus and Stella and Shay Beauty Bar in Cleveland — to share the unfiltered story of her journey to motherhood through infertility, private adoption, foster care, failed placements, and finally, the day she became a mom to twin daughters. Becca talks about what the process of adoption and fostering actually looked like — the paperwork, the uncertainty, the grief, the love — and why more families need to hear the real story, not just the highlight reel. This is a conversation about resilience, community, surrender, and a motherhood that looked nothing like she planned — and became exactly what was meant for her.
