It's the only way I can survive parenting.
| | Every Child Should Get Free Therapy | | Today, Erin Lane is talking about one of the things that has helped sustain her as an adoptive mom: therapy. "It was one of the benefits of fostering — and later adoption — that my three school-aged girls came with the built-in support of Medicaid and, even more fortunately (and miraculously), a handful of high-quality therapists who took subsidized insurance. Honestly, for this reason alone, fostering and adoption is the only way I can imagine surviving parenting in modern America. Because, over the years, it's been my kids' therapists who have unequivocally re-parented me."
Her perspective is super interesting. Check it out.
