"What if I'm not the parent for this child?" The adoption that almost didn't happen, with Sarah How

As a school psychologist, my guest Sarah How was confident she was the perfect candidate to become an adoptive parent. That's why she began the process of adoption while her two bio kids were still young. Turns out, though, that adoption and being a school psychologist weren't quite the same. At one point Sarah almost terminated the process because she just didn't think she was the right mom for these kids. And then she learned Nurtured Heart. Listen to this vulnerable and moving account of Sarah How's parenting transformation.
