197 – Feeling Alone as an Adoptive Parent? 7 Anchors to Offer Hope

Have you ever felt completely alone—like you were the only one facing something so hard it seemed no one else could understand? What do you do in those moments? Who do you turn to?

If you’re an adoptive parent feeling that way right now, may I gently suggest this: it’s time to grab hold of an anchor.

Hi Neighbor,⁣

I’m imagining an adoptive parent listening to this episode, feeling isolated and overwhelmed. I know that feeling well because my wife and I have been there, too. There were times we were convinced no one else could possibly understand what we were walking through.

The adoption journey can be incredibly hard. But it doesn’t have to be lonely.

If you’re feeling alone, please hear this, you’re not. In this episode, let’s talk about how to find your anchor when the waves hit hard.

Anchors of hope and healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor, Tim

It’s called Anxiety Management Coaching for Adoptive Parents. I’d love to talk with you about it, about what you’re walking through, and what kind of support would be most meaningful right where you are.
