In this episode, April begins by exploring the profound theme of naming and claiming in adoption. June also invites us to notice, name, and claim the fathers and father-figures in our lives, whether they are present, tenderly remembered, deeply complicated, or still questions.

This Episode Covers:
  • The Texture of a Namesake Month: How birth names hold an entire universe of history, mystery, and origin for adopted persons.

  • Expanding the Definition of Fathering: Moving past traditional boxes to embrace birth, adoptive, chosen, and elder father-figures.

  • Questions for the Inner House: Honest reflections for adoptive parents on the language used surrounding fathers of origin.

  • June Calendar Practices: Practical, physical ways to anchor your reflections, circle your truth, and use symbols to honor those who have shaped your child's journey.
