Hi, I’m Grasya. I’m an adoptee, a wife, a stay-at-home mom, and a volunteer counselor. But more than anything, I’m someone still figuring things out—still navigating the emotions, questions, and struggles that come with being adopted.
I created THE HOPE SPACE because, for a long time, I felt alone in this journey. Adoption is often talked about as a beautiful story of love and belonging, but there’s another side to it—one that holds grief, longing, identity struggles, and questions that don’t always have easy answers.
This blog isn’t about having everything figured out. I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not an expert—just someone trying to make sense of my own story. I still wrestle with doubts. I still struggle with feelings I can’t always put into words. But I’m also learning that healing is possible, even if it’s slow and messy.
If you’re an adoptee who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or like your emotions don’t quite fit anywhere—I want you to know that you’re not alone. I write this blog as a way to process my own journey, and if my words resonate with you, I hope they bring comfort and validation.
Beyond my adoption story, I’ll also share glimpses of my life as a wife, a mother, and someone pursuing a career in counseling. Life is full of both wins and struggles, and I want to be honest about the joys and challenges that come with these roles. Since spirituality is an important part of my life, I’ll also be sharing my reflections on faith, healing, and hope. But I want this space to feel safe for everyone—I respect that each person has their own beliefs, and my goal is not to impose mine, but simply to share what has helped me along the way.
This is a space to be honest about the hard parts, to sit with our emotions, and to remind ourselves that healing isn’t about being “fixed” but about learning to carry our stories with hope. I’m still figuring things out, and maybe you are too—but we don’t have to do it in silence.
I don’t know where this journey will take me, but I hope that in sharing my story, you’ll find a little more hope in yours. 💛
