Welcome back to episode 8 of The Millennial Foster Mom Podcast! This week, we are kicking off a mini-series on post-adoption depression and anxiety. I share my personal journey with post-adoption depression and anxiety in my most vulnerable episode yet. I am actually a little nervous to even post this episode! But I know the more we talk about PADS/PAA (what an acronym, amirite?) the more awareness we will raise for the debilitating stress and depression that can sometimes come after an adoption. Know that if you are currently struggling with PADS/PAA, you are not alone and it does not make you a bad mom. In the following weeks, I hope to have more adoptive moms share their stories with PAD/PAA.
