⁠This week, our guest is Staci Berkovitz. In this episode, we're diving deep into Staci's incredible journey through adoption and the profound challenges and triumphs she faced as a mother. From the initial decision to adopt to navigating the complexities of attachment and trauma, Staci shares candidly about the rollercoaster of emotions and unexpected turns. We explore the impact of the lack of attachment on brain development and how it manifested during her children's teenage years, leading to valuable insights for anyone considering opening their home to older children. Staci's narrative takes us through heart-wrenching moments of letting go, unexpected reunions, and ultimately finding solace in the belief that life, despite its twists and turns, unfolds exactly as it should.
