In today's episode we tackle mental health. With May being Mental Health Awareness month we thought it would be helpful to get a head start by jumping into a discussion about mental health through the lens of adoption. In part 1 of our conversation we begin to unpack 5 primary emotions that are experienced by all parts of the adoption triad which are anger, fear, guilt and shame, grief and loss and joy.
