Episode 2- Traveling with Adoptive, Foster, and Kinship Kids

Vacations are meant to be relaxing—but for children in adoptive, foster, or kinship families, travel can stir up unexpected emotions, triggers, and challenges. In this episode, we unpack why changes in routine, unfamiliar environments, and even the idea of “leaving home” can be difficult for kids with trauma histories. Our clinicians share insight on how to prepare for travel, signs your child may be struggling, and practical tools to create connection, safety, and fun—even on the go. Whether you're planning a road trip or just a weekend away, this conversation is for you.This episode is sponsored by Show Hope, a movement to care for orphans by engaging the church and reducing barriers to adoption.
