AFTHtv S16p12 Embracing the Journey
On this episode of AFTHtv, Theo and Alex discuss their 2.5 year journey navigating the adoption process on their road to parenthood. They also share what it was like to get a call with an emergency placement and then just 3 months later have their very first reunion with their child’s birth mother. Their biggest piece of advice to others navigating what might be a long wait is to stay the course, trust the process, and lean on AFTH social workers and your support team.
