A listener has asked me what I thought about splitting the adoption leave up and how this could work with our children. They have also asked about how to talk with other children in the family about adoption. Great topics! So, here are my thoughts.
Here is the link to the book I mention: https://corambaaf.org.uk/books/adopting-brother-or-sister?gclid=CjwKCAiAv4n9BRA9EiwA30WNDzdM1xXJvxidHvc15J3IPdtjU4-ZthQ0f5SlrZnIl-HrB-sWsPaDHxoCV_kQAvD_BwE

We had a listener reach out to us and ask us about introductions and when extended family members are allowed to get involved, this is something that comes up a lot when I do any work with friends and family.
So, today episode is all about that and helping to think of when would be right for you and when will be right for the child.

It is a tough subject, it is not a nice subject, but it is a vital subject!
I have been asked a lot about adoption breakdowns and my take on them, I have had some experience with them and I am going to share these with you and hopefully, help you to see some things to help you to avoid anything like this.

A listener has reached out to ask me to speak about Post Placement Depression. It is a really tough subject, but a crucial one to think about. So, I give my take on it and the advice that I have for any adopter that thinks they may be struggling.
