God Has A Plan for Every Child

from Called to Love: An Adoption Podcast for Christian Parents - Christian Adoption, Trauma and Healing, Foster Care, Parenting Adopted Children · host Somer Colbert and Christian Parenting

Welcome to the Called to Love Podcast! This week I am joined with an adult adoptee and new author, Emmanual Jean Russle. Emmanuel grew up in Haiti with his grandmother before being adopted into the United States. In our conversation, we briefly discuss his upbringing and transition to the states and then Emmanuel shares his passion for sharing this message: God has a plan for every child. Emmanuel also offers encouragement to adoptive families navigating their unique journeys. Here are a few key takeaways: Emmanuel's story highlights the importance of purpose in every child's life. Adoption can bring about significant changes, but love and support are crucial. Quality time spent with children fosters a sense of belonging. Every child's experience with adoption is unique and should be respected. Parents should treat adopted children as they would biological children. It's essential to acknowledge and celebrate a child's heritage. Prayer and guidance are vital for families considering adoption. Books can be powerful tools for understanding and discussing adoption. Connect more with Emmanuel on social media. Check out his book: “Hello! My Name is Emmanuel - An inspiring true story of adoption, celebrating new” Christian Parenting’s latest resource: Friday Favorites Newsletter You can email me your questions about adoption and foster care at [email protected].
