Listen Later

“Who are the kids that actually need permanency? Who are the kids that actually need permanency through adoption? It tends to be kids with disability, kids that are older, sibling groups...” ~Brandon Stiver

Joining me today is my neighbor from Seattle, Brandon Stiver. Brandon has worn several hats, but has one vocation, to see God’s kingdom come to Earth through proclamation and demonstration. 

A respected leader in the field of global care for children, Brandon is a professor, a podcaster, and has led nonprofits based in the US and Tanzania. A community builder at heart, he has collaborated with organizations from Central America to Southeast Asia.

In our conversation, Brandon delves into the complex world of adoption, specifically his experiences with domestic adoption in Tanzania. 

From navigating the teenage years of an adoptive child to understanding the true definition of ”orphans,” this episode sheds light on impactful topics that resonate with many adoptive families.

  • You’ll learn about key support systems for adoptive parents.
  • The critical need for permanency for kids with disabilities, older children, and sibling groups.
  • Common manifestations of trauma and attachment issues among internationally adopted children.
  • And much more!

    Hope and Healing are on the way.

    Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
