Goodbye Social Workers - What Happens After Adoption

The social workers are officially out of our lives. After hundreds of check-ins, forms, visits, and assessments, this chapter of our adoption journey has finally closed. And wow… it feels big. In this episode, we talk about what really happened after we brought our son home, the emotional rollercoaster we didn’t fully share at the time. The exhaustion. The overwhelm. The quiet doubts. The pressure to look like we were coping. We were often “faking it till we made it,” trying to hold everything together while adjusting to becoming daddies overnight. If you’re in the adoption process, thinking about it, or in that blurry 'just becoming parents' phase, wondering if everyone else is finding it easier than you, then this one’s for you. This is what happens after adoption - our experience.
