She emphasizes the importance of deciding how much uncertainty one can manage in situations like prenatal care and substance exposure, and how much to push adoption agencies for more details. Rebecca shares stories of families grappling with these issues and highlights the need to build trust with birth moms and agencies. She also touches on back-to-school season, sharing insights on how to approach teachers about adoption. This episode closes with a brief discussion on tools for communicating with birth families as well.
