Episode Synopsis "The Birth Mother Grief Cycle"

A note from your hosts: Content in this podcast may be triggering due to circumstances around placing a child for adoption.   In this episode, we talk with Ashley Mitchell about the grief cycle of a birth mother. As a birth mother of 13 years, her vulnerability and transparency is refreshing and so helpful to so many of us in the adoption community.   Understanding what a birth mother experiences after placing her child with another family is a key piece of education for each member of the triad, and for those hoping to adopt.   Ashley is the owner of Lifetime Healing LLC and is on mission to increase care, understanding, and resources for birth mothers across the country.   We would love to connect with you on social media:   Ashley Mitchell: @bigtoughgirl @lifetimehealingllc   Macie Perreault: @adoptwell @mrsperreault   Amy Bagwell: @toddleradoption @ahbagwell   Before you go, please leave an honest review and share your thoughts on social media with #AdoptWellPodcast.   www.AdoptWell.com
