Yellow Slicker Adoptive Parents

Many parents long to be a haven of love for their adopted child. Often, the child brings unresolved trauma into the home and it turns into a war zone. They can find comfort here.

Explaining Adoption to Kids

Identity is such a huge challenge for the adopted child, teen, and adult. With two sets of parents, who are we anyway? Our life didn't begin on the day we were conceived, or on our birthday, or on adoption day. Our lives began in eternity past, in the very heart of God the Father.

Anyone who knows me well, knows that I love boxing. Lately however, Lupus has flared its ugly head, and I’ve been in too much pain to box. I still went to training, but I shadow boxed. As I’ve been working on this painting of boxing gloves, I thought maybe it was going to be symbolic of me hanging up my gloves for good. But in the last couple of days, pain has diminished and so I think I don’t have to hang up my gloves...for now at least. The painting isn’t done...

Almost every mom in the universe wants to give their very best to their children. Adoptive and foster moms are like this. However the challenge can be larger for these moms because their children come to them out of trauma. It’s easy for these moms, out of empathy for their children, to consider themselves responsible for making their children happy. They can’t. No mom can make their child happy. But, the adoptive and foster moms can choose healing for themselves.

With all the craziness that is going on around us, it’s important to focus on beautiful things, like these gorgeous flowers my daughter gave me. Having a fresh bouquet at home is priority.
