In this episode of the Foster Fathers Podcast, we dive into one of the most nuanced and debated topics in the world of fostering and adoption: should we openly use the word “adoption” around our adopted kids?
This isn’t just a provocative question; it’s a reflection of the real-world tension that parents feel as they navigate when and how to discuss adoption. Should it be a word spoken freely in everyday life, or should it be introduced with intentionality and care? We explore the diverse perspectives of adoptive parents, therapists, and even adoptees themselves.
