61 | November is National Adoption Month. How I’m Holding Space as an Adoptive Mom

from Adoptive Mom Life | Open Adoption, Adoptive Parenting, Birth Family, Christian Community, Biblical Encouragement · host Carly | Adoptive Parent, Adoption Support, Encourager, Work from Home Mom

November is National Adoption Month, a time to raise awareness for children still waiting for families and to honor the stories of those already formed through adoption. But as adoptive moms, this month can stir up a lot of mixed emotions — gratitude, grief, and everything in between.   In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m holding space for both the beautiful and the broken parts of my kids’ stories — and how you can, too. From the history behind National Adoption Month to the sacred, everyday work of being your child’s safe place, we’ll reflect on what this season really means for those living adoption from the inside out.   If you’ve ever felt torn between celebration and sorrow this time of year, this one’s for you.   Book a Coaching Call -> HERE Contact - > [email protected] Podcast -> bit.ly/adoptivemomlifepodcast Private FB Group -> bit.ly/adoptivemomlife Become an Insider - > AMLInsider     Next Steps:   Step 1: Join the private community with other adoptive moms looking for support and camaraderie at Adoptive Mom Life.   Step 2: Sign up for the monthly Adoptive Mom Life Newsletter here.   Step 3: Book a one-on-one coaching call here.
