@AdoptionToLife, Janelle Molony, April, 2020
Foster Care Advocate and Teen Parenting Expert, Lesia Knudsen, joins Janelle Molony for a virtual coffee date and these ladies get REAL when it comes to the “other mother” in the adoption triad.
If you think there is a competition, even if it’s just in your mind… then there is.
– Janelle Molony
The attention to “Motherhood” (capital M, as an identity) can create some emotional dynamics within a foster or adoptive family that must be addressed.
The two bestselling authors share positive experiences they’ve had when working with children who have a biological parent to “balance” with an alternative caretaker (foster, kinship, adoptive parent, etc.).
These two ladies GET REAL and don’t skimp over both the highs and lows of navigating this holiday. #NoJudgments #GetReal #RealTalk
