Modern Adoption with Erin & Jess

Becoming a Confident Adoptive Parent


Listen Later

We say all the time - parenting an adopted child is different from parenting a biological one and today we’re going to talk about why that is.


In this episode of the Modern Adoption podcast, we are joined today by Jessica Johnson of Root and Revive Wellness. 


Jessica is a certified health coach, and adoptive mom of three who, after struggling with her own adoptive parent burn out, created Root and Revive Wellness to help other adoptive moms become more centered and confident in their parenting role. She offers one-on-one coaching sessions to help adoptive parents navigate the daily challenges of life with a trauma informed lens and parent from a more grounded place.


In this episode we discuss:


  • Adoptive parent challenges in the early stages.
  • Attachment & bonding with your adopted child.
  • The importance of understanding trauma in adoption.
  • Adoptive parent guilt.
