200 – Feeling Alone in Your Adoption Journey? You’re Not the Only One

If you’ve ever felt like no one truly understands what you’re going through as an adoptive parent, you’re not alone and you’re not broken.

Hi Neighbor,

Today marks not only our 200th episode, but also the third anniversary of this podcast. What started as a simple idea and a backyard walk has now grown into a global community of adoptive parents seeking encouragement, connection, and biblical hope.

In this milestone episode, I’ll take you back to where it all began. I’m recording from my outdoor “studio,” the same backyard path where I first began sharing adoption content three years ago. I reflect on the origin of the podcast, the evolution of its name, and the heart behind every episode: letting adoptive parents know they’re not alone in the hard work of parenting.

You’ll also get a sneak peek at what’s ahead for the podcast and community. Coming attractions include:

• 💬 Adoption Life Coaching – Biblically grounded, experience-based coaching for adoptive parents

• 📧 Email Community – Behind-the-scenes content, affirmations, and parenting tools delivered weekly

• 🎥 YouTube Channel – Additional video content and encouragement

• 🎙️ Expert Interviews – Hear from therapists, counselors, and adoptees themselves

• 🧭 Daily Doables & Practical Tools – More actionable ways to apply spiritual truths and regulate emotions

• 🌐 Streamlined Access – To easily find coaching, community, and podcast extras

If you’ve ever felt like no one understands the unique struggles of adoption, this episode is for you. You’ll hear how community, coaching, and Scripture have shaped this podcast and how they can support you too.

Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way! Your Neighbor, Tim
