Iris P. Bryant’s great passion is helping adoptees remove shame from their stories.

Iris’ most important credentials come from the least favorite parts of her life. She has walked through rejection and abandonment, learned to navigate life as a caregiver, and faced grief after the loss of her husband, David, the love of her life. Because of these painful seasons of her life, she has credibility to speak into the pain of others.

A North Carolina native, Iris loves to share stories from her life in order to share God's message in those little moments. Being an adoptee coach and a compassionate listener, she supports and encourages growth in her audience through thoughtful and meaningful conversations.

As the founder of Adoptees in Arms, a Christian community for adult adoptees, she provides resources and inspiration to help navigate each stage of the adoption journey.
