In adoption, firsts hold a special kind of magic. From the first bedtime story to the first "I love you," these moments become the foundation of family and belonging. In this episode, we talk about the importance of honoring those milestones—whether it's a gifted Raggedy Ann doll from a birth mother or a beloved elephant passed down from another adoptee's story. These are the keepsakes and core memories that help children see themselves in their family's journey. Because in adoption, every first is more than just a moment—it's part of building a forever home.
