Thanks for joining us for a bonus conversation in our March Behavior Series. In this episode, we sit down with adoptive mom Jess Pruess as she shares her journey through adoption, early behavioral challenges, and learning to advocate for her son.

Jess opens up about the gap between expectations and reality, recognizing early signs of trauma, and learning to trust her instincts when something felt off.

Listen in as we talk about early intervention, therapy supports like speech and occupational therapy, navigating school challenges, and her son’s ADHD diagnosis. Jess also shares what it’s looked like to grow in confidence as an advocate and parent.

This episode is a reminder that you are the right parent for your child—and that trusting your gut and seeking support can make all the difference.
