What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting

Helping Adoptive Families Heal: A Conversation with April Ficklin, TBRI® Practitioner


Listen Later

This week on What to Expect While Fostering and Adopting, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with April Ficklin, a TBRI® Practitioner, adoptive mom, and the Director of Family Support Services for Flourishing Families of South Carolina.

April brings both professional wisdom and personal experience to this conversation. Her work is centered on helping adoptive families find real connection, healing, and hope through Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) and her heart for trauma-informed care is nothing short of powerful.

In this episode, we talk about:

• The realities adoptive families face behind closed doors
• How trauma impacts connection and what we can do about it
• Why adoptive moms often feel unseen, and how to change that
• How April is equipping families and organizations across South Carolina
• And how faith plays a vital role in every part of this healing journey

Whether you’re new to adoption or knee-deep in the hard parts, this conversation will remind you that healing is possible and you don’t have to do this alone.

☕ Now, grab your cup of coffee, get comfy, and let’s dig in!

XO,

Christine Marie
