Whether you seek to add to your family through foster care, private domestic adoption or you are called to travel internationally, every adoption story is uniquely beautiful. Yet, each shares a common language of calling, loss, and hardship.As Christian parents we have a deep desire to love and shepherd our children well, but it can be challenging to navigate loss, trauma and how to best love and guide our adopted children. One thing is for sure, adoption is more than a process, it is an invitation to go on a holy journey with the Lord and with your family. Like any journey, there will be valleys along with mountain tops and battles along with the beauty. The good news is, what the Lord calls you to, He will equip you for.Wherever you are in your journey, Called to Love is here to bring you a weekly dose of encouragement from the practical, clinical, and Biblical perspective along with personal stories from adoptive parents, adult adoptees and advice from various experts to help your family thrive in your journey and continue to say 'yes' to your own call to love.Called to Love is a part of the Christian Parenting Podcast Network.

Adoptive parents are more than aware that their child has suffered great loss in relinquishment, and they long to create a haven of love for their child.However, many times, the adopted child pushes love away. This can be because of RAD and the trauma that keeps hijacking the child's brain.Some children don't exhibit pushback behavior until their teen years or when they are searching for their biological roots. Adoptive parents must prepare themselves for this possibility by hearing the stories of other parents.  They will realize:1. They are not alone. 2. The pushback isn't proof of ineffective parenting.3. Their child can heal.Stay tuned for upcoming podcasts and updates about my upcoming book.  more
