About This Podcast

The podcast for adoptive parents who need real, practical guidance beyond the paperwork. Hosted by Lora Rose Buth, an adoptive parenting consultant and OT, and Abbey Ramirez, an adoptive mom with experience in embryo and private adoption. Join us as we dive into the challenges no one prepared you for—attachment struggles, trauma-informed parenting, and the chaos of real life. With expert insights, honest conversations, and plenty of laughs, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone—and that connection is always possible.
