When your adopted child is struggling, how can you support them while being okay yourself?

Hi Neighbor,

Ever felt like your adopted child was stuck in an emotional ditch?

Today’s segment, Getting Out of the Ditch, comes from Episode 183. Jane Baker uses a powerful metaphor: if your child is down in a ditch, you can’t help them by jumping in after them.

I want to encourage you to listen, take notes, and sit with the idea or ideas that speak to you. You can be okay even if your kids aren’t.

Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.
Your Neighbor,
Tim
