Listen Later

In this episode of the Adoption Roadmap Podcast, Rebecca Gruenspan shares real-time insights from her community on a topic many hopeful adoptive parents overlook: traveling home with your baby. From car seats and baby-wearing tips to what not to pack, Rebecca dives into what actually matters during this emotional and life-changing trip.

She also touches on passport application quirks, gives a well-deserved shoutout to adoption social workers during Social Work Month, and reminds families that consulting is about more than just matching—it's about feeling supported every step of the way.

Whether you're mid-process or preparing for placement, this episode is full of helpful gems and feel-good moments from the community.
