Episode 2 | White diamond: How foster and adoptive parents can honor their child’s parents
This episode invites you to think of ways to honor, acknowledge, and recognize your child's family of origin. This is especially relevant if you are a foster or adoptive parent, legal guardian, social worker, educator, or family friend. In this episode, I share how I visited my biological mother who I hadn't visited in forever. Before we departed, she gave me her White Diamond perfume, which I used anytime I wanted to remember by mother. I conclude with key takeaways.
