Two adult adoptees, Sarah Reinhardt and Louise Browne, delve into all things adoption - from their perspectives as adult adoptees. Each season Sarah and Louise recap a chapter from a book centered on adoption and then interview a guest.  Sarah and Louise come out of the 'fog' in real-time through Seasons One and Two and are advocating for change in the adoption industry. They want to give voice to all adoptees. Adoptee stories are needed to reframe the narrative around adoption.Sarah and Louise, two former business partners who had a successful ice cream truck in Los Angeles, team up again - this time in frank and honest conversations about all things adoption from the adoptee perspective. Both were adopted shortly after birth, but they had very different experiences. These will be intimate conversations, but also fun - because Sarah and Louise know how to lighten things up and have a good time.

Podcast by Stanford Sierra Youth and Families

Adoptive parents are more than aware that their child has suffered great loss in relinquishment, and they long to create a haven of love for their child.However, many times, the adopted child pushes love away. This can be because of RAD and the trauma that keeps hijacking the child's brain.Some children don't exhibit pushback behavior until their teen years or when they are searching for their biological roots. Adoptive parents must prepare themselves for this possibility by hearing the stories of other parents.  They will realize:1. They are not alone. 2. The pushback isn't proof of ineffective parenting.3. Their child can heal.Stay tuned for upcoming podcasts and updates about my upcoming book.  more
