Adoption can be one of the most meaningful journeys a family ever takes — but it’s also one of the most confusing. In this episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Kim and Heather unpack the biggest “Wait, what?” moments that hopeful adoptive parents experience as they begin their journey.

From confusing state laws to open adoption myths, financial questions, and the emotional side no one talks about — they’re breaking it all down with honesty and compassion. You’ll also learn why words matter in adoption, and how understanding the lifelong nature of adoption helps you become a more thoughtful parent.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the fine print, mixed messages, or emotions of adoption, this episode will help you find clarity and confidence as you move forward.

This episode is focused on adoptive parents, but stay tuned for future episodes made especially for birth parents and adoptees.
