The Parental Postadoption Depression: Reframing Expectations podcast from Foster Adopt Minnesota explores the emotional challenges adoptive parents may experience as they adjust to life after adoption. Featuring Karen J. Foli, PhD, RN, the discussion examines symptoms of postadoption depression and how unmet expectations can contribute to emotional distress. It highlights the importance of rethinking expectations of ourselves as parents, our children, family and friends, and society. By recognizing these challenges and seeking support, adoptive parents can develop greater self-compassion and build healthier, more realistic expectations for their adoption journey.
