Defining the Boundaries of Kinship Care with Raquel McCloud
01/31/23 • 41 min
The Main Thing:
This episode is terrific. That might sound very self-promoting, but it has nothing to do with us and EVERYTHING to do with Raquel's heart for adoption, kinship care, and transforming lives and families with her message. She is fantastic and joins us for a deep dive into shadow feelings, kinship care, and life as an adoptee and a birth mom. During our conversation, Raquel opens up about healthy boundaries, how to preserve your family's story, and what it looks like to thrive amidst kinship care. She's the real deal and so eloquently shares her heart and passion to equip families facing similar challenges. Episode Resources:

The Story of Adoption through Children's Literature with Allison Olson
The Main Thing:
There's nothing like a good book! But what about when you're looking for one to help tell your family's story, and you just can't seem to find the right narrative? Adoption is beautiful, messy, hard, complicated --- difficult to put into an appropriate amount of pages that won't take days to read. But we're in luck! For Episode 071 we're hanging out with Allison Olson. She's an adoptee, adoptive mom, and now the author of the children's book, Surrounded By Love: An Open Adoption Story.
During our time together we had the privilege of learning more about her connection to the adoption community and how that not only inspired her book but the narrative she wants to help facilitate for so many families. She's fun, real, encouraging, and just the kind of friend you'd want to add to your book club! Episode Resources:

Introducing the Dad-cast of 2 Adoptive Mamas
The Main Thing:
They're the silent heroes behind the podcast, supporting us since day one and every step of the way. They're our other halves and have walked the joyful, painful, everyday moments with us. They're our beloved husbands, and they're taking over the podcast! We thought it was time for the dads to have a voice and bring their insight to the table. When Dan and Drew agreed to take over the show for a few episodes this season, we were thrilled!
So --- time to hand over the ear-buds to your partner in crime (or tune in yourself!) because the Dads are taking a deep dive into their shadow feelings, how they're finding community, and why moms AND dads need to talk about the "tough stuff" too. Enjoy!
