Joyful Journey

Grief in Adoption — with Pam Bauer


Listen Later

Adoption offers a picture of the spiritual adoption Christians experience in Christ. However, for many adopted children, this journey can also involve deep sorrow and grief over the separation from their birth families.

This week, Janet and Jocelyn have the honor of hosting Pam Bauer, a graduate of Faith Seminary’s MABC program. Pam and her husband have adopted 12 children from Russia. Pam dedicates herself to counseling children in her community. Together, they discuss how adoptive parents can nurture a biblical understanding of God’s foreknowledge and sovereignty in their children. By grounding them in these truths, adopted children can better comprehend and embrace their place within their adoptive family, viewing it through the lens of our spiritual adoption into God’s family.
