"Hearing the words 'You’re not my mom' from your adopted child can feel like a punch to the heart. But what if we told you…it’s actually normal? In this episode, we dive into the complicated emotions of adoption parenting—especially when discipline, attachment, and big feelings collide. We talk openly about the sting of those words, the self-doubt that follows, and why it’s okay to feel hurt while still standing firm in your role as their parent. Because at the end of the day, real parenthood isn’t about titles—it’s about showing up, loving through the hard moments, and remembering that even typical kids will push buttons… adoption just gives them a few extra. You’re doing better than you think."
