Adoptive mom Melissa Christian and Host, Tara Hutton discuss "matrescence", a series of physical, mental and emotional changes that occur naturally for bio-moms. This developmental passage where a woman transitions through pre-conception, pregnancy, birth, and the post-natal period, are vital for mother - child connection and the development of secure attachment. The absence of this natural progression proved to be unexpected challenge in Melissa's adoption journey.
