Adoption and Fostering Pathway
Welcoming a child into your heart and family through adoption and fostering is a gift. It provides a tangible reminder of how God chose each of us to be a part of His family. And while a beautiful expression of love and a wonderful way to build a family, underlying it all is grief and loss. How do you step into the mess of past trauma and a story that undoubtedly includes pain? How can healing come for both parents and child? In this Adoption and Fostering Pathway, you’ll hear stories of those who don’t sugarcoat the complicated beauty of a family that is built through adoption or fostering. From those who themselves endured the foster care system as well as from parents who are navigating their child’s trauma and heartbreak after adoption, this pathway will encourage you in your own journey when it comes to adoption and fostering.
