  • #142: [Enneagram & Adoption] Back to School Encouragement for Adoptive Parents
    As we start this school year, we want to encourage you with these reflections courtesy of the Enneagram. The Enneagram is our favorite tool for understanding ourselves and the people we love. It gives us insight for how we can become the best version of ourselves and better parents.
    We recognize that the Enneagram is complex, and the way we've represented each number in this episode is not complete. We'd love to hear from you if these resonated, or if you'd add anything from your perspective. Join the conversation in our FB community at www.theadoptionconnection.com/facebook.
