143 - "Some of These Kids Are Trying To Save The Heartache Before It Would Happen" - Adoption & Foster Care

I'm super excited to have Michael Quintock for the second episode of FathersFyre. He recently adopted his third child, a newborn baby girl, so I thought it'd be fun to talk about the challenge and fun of adoption.

• Me naively asking my brother if adopting a child you feel like they are yours
• A lot of people asking that question and me learning the answer for myself—adopting our two kids
• Working through the attachment process of adopted children
• Bringing a baby into the home versus older children
• Working through regression and providing a safe place for your adopted kids
• Working through a child’s fear shown by their bad behavior to protect themselves - trying to save a hear
• How come newborn babies smell so good
• Showing affection as a dad
