Love and Trauma
Can love conquer trauma? What exactly does trauma look like in an adopted child? And what help is out there?
In this episode, we hear our adoptive parents’ day to day experiences of managing their children's trauma. And we find out how adoption agencies prepare parents for what they may encounter.
