“I just want to know that my child is going to be okay.”

 

If you’ve ever whispered those words, you’re not alone. As adoptive moms, our deepest desire is for our children to feel fully known, fully loved, secure in their identity, and at peace with their story. But sometimes, fear of the future sneaks in and quietly begins shaping the way we parent.

 

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

  • Why fear-based parenting shows up so often for adoptive moms

  • How fears about birth family history, not being “enough,” or our child feeling different can shift how we show up

  • The impact this has on our kids (and on us!)

  • A better way forward—parenting from presence, connection, and trust in God

 

What if instead of trying to control outcomes, we could meet our child right where they are today? What if we could release the fear and surrender their future to the God who already chose us to be their parent?
