Summary

Today we talk to an expert on parenting adopted children. This podcast is not just for Dads who have been through adoption. Instead, we dive into topics that many Dads face, such as not being too hard on yourself, living your own best life for your family, and why you need to give yourself more grace.

You should find value in this episode, no matter your life's path.

Highlights of our conversation include:

What happens when you don't immediately fall in love with your child?
How to mentally adjust when your kids' actions change your plans.
What is Reactive Attachment Disorder, and how can you minimize its impact on your parenting?
Why it's important to give yourself more grace.
The trick with the mindset that tomorrow is going to be different. (Not necessarily better, but different.)
