Kristin is a birth mother who placed her son for adoption 14 years ago. In this episode, Kirstin talks about her experience as a birth mother, working at an adoption attorney's office, and ultimately opening her business, Evermore Adoption Consultants, as a way to support those working through the unpredictable, and often overwhelming, adoption process.
Kristin mentions the New Parents Academy by Valerie Trumbower (Post Partum Doula/Lactation Consultant). Valerie created a Parenting 101 course specific for adoptive families. It can be found using our affiliate link here!
In our chat, we touched on the term "unicorn baby" which prompted a further exploration of the term, found on our blog.
Kristin also mentions the importance of understanding adoption specific medicine before adoption. We recommend checking out Dr Sara Silvestri, "The Adoption Doc", a Pediatrician and Adoptive Mother.
