My great grandmother had actually had her first name mixed up in her documents, like, some documents stated one name, the others stated the other, and no one in the family knew what she was actually called because her only living daughter at that time, my grandma, was a little child when she (the great grandmother) died and didn't remember her first name. We finally figured out her true name, but it was a hassle for my father and his siblings. So yeah, no wonder sometimes birth dates get mixed up as well.

I asked my MD library system to order her book and they got five copies! I'm excited to read it!

I'm so sorry I just saw this. Thank you so much for doing that. I am very appreciative.

This was an awesome and informative interview! It makes me want to read her book and i have ADD lol. In future videos, are you able to discuss how it would go down the first time kids/teens come to your home? How youd introduce yourself, what does your day look like once youve given them a tour of the house, how to expect the first night to go...also wondering if the smart idea is to take them somewhere FUN or rather do something chill the first day to accommodate for a range of emotions? Thanks!!

Do you have a "things not to say to adoption familes" video?? 💓

[@adoptinformed]

I don’t, but that is a topic on my list! :)
