About This Episode: Mom Lorin's conversation left me speechless more than once. Her vulnerability in sharing her innermost worries about raising her neurodivergent, adopted children just completely blew me away. Chatting with her was such a gift - this episode is not to be missed! Here are just some of the topics we discussed:

-The trauma of adoption and inconsistent caregivers
-Interracial adoption
-What if kids didn't want to be adopted?
-Taking care of yourself in order to take care of your kids
-Primal wounds of adopted children losing their first parents and first culture
-Is it neurodivergence or trauma?
-Being selfless but still holding space for yourself

Please shower Lorin with love and support by SHARING this episode with your mom friends and groups!
