115. Grafted In: Adoption, Identity, and the Heart of the Father


Listen Later

In this episode of The Strength In Weakness Podcast, Morgan and Ellen explore adoption through a deeply biblical lens—our own adoption into God’s family—and how that spiritual reality can shape the way parents walk with their adopted children through questions of identity and LGBTQ experiences.

Drawing from Ellen’s counseling work and Morgan’s family stories, they talk about the unique ache and beauty of adoption: the grief of expectations that shift, the longing for belonging, and the sacred reality of being chosen and brought into a family by love, not biology.

Together, they help parents see how their relationship with God—as adopted sons and daughters—can guide how they love, steady, and shepherd their children, especially when fear or self-blame rises.

They unpack:

  • How God’s adoptive love models patient, non-controlling, unconditional presence

  • Why adopted kids may wrestle more deeply with identity and belonging

  • How parents can reflect God’s tenderness, stability, and pursuit in moments of tension

  • Practical ways to anchor your child’s worth in being chosen—not just by you, but by God

This episode invites parents to breathe again, to grieve and rejoice at the same time, and to remember: the story of adoption has always been God’s story—and He walks with you as you live it out in your own home.
