Post Adoption Podcast

I'm excited to share a close friend with you. Her name is Megan Carpenter. Our daughters came home at the same time and we spent many days together.

I understand everyone who joins us may not be Jesus followers or even adoptive parents. This episode is honestly for anyone considering that God is calling them to something big in obedience. I will give a spoiler alert that I cry in this episode as we discuss very pivotal moments in our lives as believers that came with our adoption process. I promise you will leave this episode inspired to grow in your walk with the Lord and it could change the way you parent.

Megan resides with her husband, 5 children, and cute pup in Dallas, Texas. She is a gifted writer and you can find her blog momfit4five here.

TODAY is the day you can listen to Episode 04 of The Post Adoption Podcast. This episode is timely. We are grieving right now. This conversation with Seana Reavis will encourage you.

I am beyond excited to share today’s episode with you. Over two decades ago, I met Kirk and Chelsea Cameron. I have watched them over the years in their parenting and they have recently started doing parenting/marriage courses. Today, I’m sharing my interview with Kirk with you. It is full of parenting wisdom. My promise to you is you’ll come away asking yourself hard questions on how you model and who you want your children to become... 

I can’t wait to hear your feedback and see how God uses this episode in your life. I know it encouraged my husband and I in this season of parenting. 

A book that Kirk refers to a lot is Shepherding a Child’s Heart by Tedd Tripp. You can click here to purchase. You can also click here to find The Courage and other things Kirk Cameron is up to these days.

I don’t know about you...but I always want to leave a season of life better than I was when I came into it. Today, I continue talking with Heather Schuck and we get more practical. I would encourage you to listen to Episode 01 prior to listening to this episode as it is a two part conversation. 

I can’t wait to hear your feedback and how you feel like you may grow in this season. We will grow TOGETHER! The fact that this has never happened before doesn’t have to scare us -- it can enable us to try new things and be better parents with stronger children. 

We talk about a lot of things you can practically do in this podcast. I don’t know about you, but a new journal and set of pens make life grand at times. I encourage you to journal many of the things we discussed in this episode. You can purchase here through the affiliate link and help support our effort to bring additional adoption resources to families. You can get this cute journal for moms or a simple journal for dads. The best is always a pack of felt pens! Happy Shopping!

TODAY is the day! It is Episode 01 of Post Adoption Podcast. I am still not over what I learned from this conversation with Heather Schuck! I hope it is a game changer for you in this season as it was SUCH a helpful reminder for my crew. We talk about managing our own anxiety in a season where we are truly setting the tone for our homes. 

Heather is the therapist at The International Adoption Clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. She has years of experience with families and adoption is part of her family’s story. Most of all -- she is one of my dearest friends. You can tell by these two episodes that we talk openly and very frankly about matters of adoption.

We talk about a book in the podcast. It is the starting point if you have not had adoption education. I’m sure you will hear it referenced in other episodes of the podcast as well.
