I am joined in conversation with my friend and fellow LDA, Ridghaus in part 2 of this 2 part episode. We talk about how discovery impacts relationships, why "adoption is beautiful" is a problematic platitude, implications of adoption as an industry and the ways that being an LDA has impacted our parenting.

I am joined in conversation with my friend and fellow LDA, Ridghaus in part 1 of this 2 part episode. We talk about life, transitions, names, parenthood within discovery and just the various nuances of what this experience is like. 

Poem we discuss: 

On Children

And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, Speak to us of Children.

You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
