Welcome back to episode 9 of the Millennial Foster Mom Podcast! 

This week, I'm welcoming back Caitlin Frost. Caitlin came on earlier in the season for Episode 3, where we talked about preparing your heart and your home for foster care and what it is like to move to a different state once you're licensed. Caitlin is a foster and adoptive mama to 5, the founder of Respite Redefined, and is super genuine and an all-around awesome person. On today's episode, Caitlin is continuing our mini-series on post-adoption depression and anxiety by sharing what her walk with PAD looked like. We also laugh a lot about the realities of post-adoption on our bodies (yes--it's a real thing!) and we share our roses and thorns from the week (I'm looking at you, Universal Thread shoes). 

Please know if you are currently struggling with PAD/PAA, you are not alone and it does not make you a bad mom. Over 26% of adoptive parents experience this. 

If you have an idea for an episode or just want to connect, you can find me at The Millennial Foster Mom on Instagram or email me at [email protected].
