In this episode, Jamie & Ande take a look at the book "You Weren't There For Me" by child psychologist, Chandra Ghosh Ippen. They discuss how adoptees want to know they are heard, they need space to discuss their honest feelings, and how apologies without excuses help in rebuilding trust in relationships.
In this episode, Jamie & Ande take a look at the book "Invisible String" by Patrice Karst. They discuss if it is a good choice to read with adopted children. They also discuss how separation anxiety isn't only a childhood issue for adoptees, but an adult one as well. And apparently Ande isn't a Garth Brooks fan, because she did not catch Jamie's reference of one of his very popular songs! See if you know it...
In this episode, Ande & Jamie discuss a book called, "Why Was I Adopted?" by Carol Livingston and evaluate how well it helps to answer that question that children love to ask... "WHY?!?!" The ladies also talk of Costco samples and Ande considers trading in her water for vodka with cherries. Listen in to find out why she's being driven to drink!
