Episode Synopsis "Telling Your Child Their Story"

As adoptive parents, we know the weight of sharing your kids story with them. There’s no handbook for it, and every story is different, every kid is different, so it makes it impossible to really plug it into an equation. In this episode, we share some findings from research and survey results from over 130 adoptees in the Adopt Well community.  We will answer questions around the topic of talking to your children about their adoption story and share advice from adult adoptees on how to do that well. As adoptive moms ourselves, we also give some specific examples on how we talk to our own young children about their adoption story. We reference two previous episodes, here’s a quick link to both of those: Season 1 Ep. 3: Navigating a Closed Adoption Season 1 Ep. 6: Adoption and Christianity   Connect with us: Instagram: @adoptwell Email: [email protected] www.adoptwell.com
