Pour a glass and pull up a seat—this week, Anne’s husband guest stars on the pod! Whether you’re a foster parent, adoptive parent, or biological parent, this episode is for you. Together, Austin and Anne dive into the common (and often harmful) misconceptions that swirl around parenting—especially when it comes to adoption and foster care.

Myths they’re debunking:

• “The parent is superior and always right”

• “Adoption is always the second-choice option”

• “Adoptive parents aren’t the REAL parents”

• “Infants can’t have trauma”

• “Foster parents are only in it for the money”

• “You must be a stay-at-home parent to foster”

• And more!

They serve up some truth on the importance of trauma-informed parenting for everyone, the power of listening to your kids, and why honesty about origin stories should be the norm. Plus: the emotional side of fostering and why attaching to your placements isn’t just okay—it’s necessary.
