15 – Can You Be Okay Even If? A Difficult Adoption Conversation

15 – Can You Be Okay Even If? A Difficult Adoption Conversation

2022-09-19
Download

It was a day my wife and I had looked forward to celebrating with our son for years. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a day of celebration turned into a day of tears.

Hi Neighbor!⁣

Is it possible to be okay even if your adoptive child is not? I’m here to tell you IT IS possible. Is it going to be easy? No!

In this episode, I want to share the story of a conversation I had with my son Jonny four years ago. I believe it’s a conversation adoptive parents need to be prepared to have.

I also believe having this conversation with Jonny, is one of the reasons he is turning his life around today.

Hope and Healing are on the way.

Your Neighbor,⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Tim⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

P.S. If you missed my interview with Jonny in episode 14, you can catch it here. In it, he shares one of the tools he is putting into practice.

P.S.S. If this podcast has given you the courage and confidence to face storms in your life, the number one way you can thank me is to leave a written review on Apple Podcasts. 

Tell a friend about the show. Take a screenshot of this episode, share it in your Instagram stories, and tag me @TimMaudlin. 

You can also connect with me on my free and private Facebook Group: Anchors of Encouragement
