Has your child started asking questions about their birth family? 🤔 Do you worry about what to say or how much to share? 💬 What if your honesty could actually strengthen your child’s trust and sense of belonging? 💛
Hi Neighbor,
In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down again with my friend and trusted adoption professional, Jane Baker.
Jane has walked alongside countless families navigating the tender emotions of adoption reunions when children want to know more about—or even meet—their birth families. 💞
Together, we talk about how to: ✨ Let your child set the pace in learning their story. 🕊️ Be the source of truth about their adoption—spoken with kindness. 💗 Share difficult details with honesty, empathy, and tact. 🌿 Care for your own emotions as a parent while guiding your child through theirs.
I’ll also share a biblical principle that pairs perfectly with Jane’s wisdom. 📖
It’s a call to practice tact and kindness—to choose words that build understanding, confidence, and security in your child.
If you’ve wondered how to handle these delicate moments with truth and grace, this episode will bring clarity, encouragement, and hope.
Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor, Tim💙
