Adoption Wise

Parents are often caught by surprise when they stumble upon themes of children being separated from parents, death of parents, adoption, and similar themes in media.

If we had only known, we could have prepared our kids and talked with them about it. We could have made an informed choice about watching that movie or reading that book.

Don't miss today's interview with Darren Fink who, together with his wife, Margie, has created a resource for parents with trauma-informed reviews of book, movies, and other media. Their reviews equip parents to connect with and understand their children from traumatic backgrounds.
