Interview with Joi R. Fisher-Griffin

Joi R. Fisher-Griffin is an author, entrepreneur, experienced educator, a passionate adoption advocate, and a patron of the arts. After going through her own struggles as an adoptee, Joi wrote her memoir, “Finding Joi: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Love.” She shared her story so that she could help others who sit in silence about their struggles, and she continues to find ways to be open about adoption, not only with adults but with young people, too. She is the author of two best-selling children’s adoption books: “Choosing Joi: An Adoptee’s Journey and Finding Belonging” and “Singing with Joi: There Are Lots of Different Ways to Be a Family.”

Joi’s books are designed to bring awareness to adoption sensitive topics and language. She believes adoptees, prospective adoptive parents, and adoptive and foster families can find resources and their community of support “If WE all Stop Whispering” and “Let’s Talk Adoption”. Joi was recently appointed to the Board of Directors for Miriam’s Heart, an organization supporting adoptive and foster families. Joi is no stranger to life’s challenges but truly believes Finding Joy is Possible!
