We are in the beginning stages of our adoption journey and I had been reading everything I could get my hands on to try to educate myself about adoption and was just getting more and more discouraged. Everything I read just seemed to tell me how...Read full review »

This is a truly wonderful podcast. The people on it are fun to listen to and encouraging while at the same time, they are informative and helpful. Even as a psychologist, I learn from them and find their discussions to be helpful reminders of things I know but have lost in the back of my head. I...Read full review »

This podcast is digestible with the short but powerful conversations they have around strategies and insight for the adoptive parent. I love how practical it is, so I can carry over the ideas they share and how refreshing it is to listen to parents who know what my world looks like.

This is a wonderful, encouraging, honest podcast talking about parenting using the TBRI principles. The lessons are invaluable for parents/adults who interact with kids from a trauma past. We have had great success implementing many of these principles in our home.

Thank you for sharing your lying perspective. Your information highlights again what parents role is when lying occurs and how our response shapes our Holstein from hard places.
