This episode is the first of a five-part series where we share the truth we want each group of people who are involved in life post-adoption to hear. We discuss some of the most common experiences for caregivers, why the complexity can feel so hard sometimes, and what to do about it.

In this first episode, Dr. Jana and Beth introduce themselves, how they connected over a shared passion, and why they are doing this podcast now. For those who don't know them, this first episode serves as a helpful introduction to better understand the lived experiences, educational backgrounds, and professional experience that shapes their conversations each week.
