50 | Family Movies and Trauma: What Adoptive Parents Need to Know Before Pressing Play

Summer is a great time for snuggling up and watching family movies together. There are SO many family-friendly movies that have subtle adoption and foster themes, while others are clearly adoption-centered.   Some are heartwarming and contain deep and valuable insight about love, belonging and overcoming hardships, while others miss the mark or cause more confusion than clarity.   On today’s episode, we’re talking about a handful of family-friendly movies with foster and  adoption themes AND potential triggers that I want you moms to be in-the-know about as you consider watching them with your kids.   **We’re celebrating the podcast’s ONE YEAR anniversary with a giveaway!
