Today, you'll meet Diane, a homeschooling mom, Mike, an Air Force pilot dad and their

three daughters.

The youngest daily joined the family through an international adoption after a year of

planning and preparation.

The family was told that daily was physically teeny tiny at almost three years old.

However, one bit of critical information was withheld by the agency.

We had never eaten solid food.

We'll hear how the family is holding up, learn about Diane's tall puppy syndrome, and

wrap up with a new modern definition of what therapists have long called doorknob confessions.

And finally, of course, a new, untranslatable word.

First, a disclaimer.

What you are about to listen to is not a professional counseling session.

Each episode is a one-time conversation and the advice I offer does not constitute psychological

treatment or services substitute for professional diagnosis, intervention, or behavioral healthcare.

In order to protect their privacy, our guests have been given pseudonyms and some personal

details have been changed.

If you have concerns about your child's well-being or your own, seek out guidance from a medical

or mental health professional.

In places to start, your child's pediatrician, the counseling staff at your child's school,

and the American Psychological Association's Comprehensive Guide to Finding Resources in

your State, and now onto the fun.

So welcome to my closet, and I'm very happy to meet both of you today.
