Working my way through the podcasts serially now after cherry picking some prior topics. I found Dawn Davenport’s podcasts a few months ago and they are excellent. The authors who are guests on her show are the most prominent in their field.
The monitored visits topic is very key to us right now. Future contact with our Children’s birth dad is a big issue and he seems to think an annual two week vacation, completely unmonitored is ok. Hearing the guidelines for monitored visits was very reassuring.
