Talking Away the Taboo with Dr. Aimee Baron

188. The Many Ways to Become a Mother: Pamela's Story of Infertility, Postpartum Depression, and Adoption


Listen Later

Like so many, Pam Krooth, LCSW, spent years trying not to get pregnant, only to find herself aching for the thing she once assumed would come easily. What followed was a long, emotional road marked by pain, heartbreak, and the slow, painful shift between expectation and reality.

Throughout Pam's story, we see how the path to the family she hoped for looked nothing like what she once imagined, and how hard it was when the timing was out of her control. After infertility, postpartum depression, and a miraculous adoption, she found her way to a different kind of motherhood, which reminds us to stay open to the many ways a family can be created, because the unexpected path can sometimes lead somewhere even more beautiful.

This raw, honest conversation reminds us that there isn't one way to become a parent, and that every path, however unexpected, is miraculous.
