Steph, a French adoptive dad, talks about his experience adopting his daughter. He highlights some of the differences between adoption in the United States and France, based on his experiences. We love how Steph highlighted the importance of taking care of first parents and the importance of prioritizing their care and control over their time and decisions post-birth. He also talks about the overturning of Roe v. Wade, potentially giving less control and choice to first parents. Steph’s family hired a doula as an advocate for their daughter’s first mom, and talks about creating positive open adoption relationships.
