Welcome to Anchors of Encouragement. I’m Tim Maudlin: Husband, Adoptive Parent, Disciple of Christ, and Ambassador of Encouragement. I too felt the joy of having a family of my own and I wished we could be like other families.

  • 161 – Feel Alone as an Adoptive Parent? 7 Benefits to Embrace an Anchor of Encouragement
    Nov 23 2024

    If you’re an adoptive parent who feels like you’re all alone, I’m here to tell you there are other adoptive parents who feel the same way. They are going through the same struggles as you.

    What can you do when you feel this way? I believe it’s important to hold on to and embrace an anchor of encouragement.

    Hi Neighbor!⁣

    Adoptive parenting can often feel like you’re all alone with no one understanding the unique challenges you face.

    But the truth is, many adoptive parents are experiencing the same struggles.

    My wife and I felt incredibly alone in our adoption journey. It wasn’t until we connected with other adoptive parents during our son’s time in residential that we realized we weren't alone.

    In this journaling episode, let’s explore 7 benefits for adoptive parents to embrace an anchor of encouragement in their adoption journey.

    Hope and Healing are on the way.
