Support Not Gratitude With Randi Thompson

Expecting gratitude from adopted kids turns them against us. We are here to support them! Listen in as Randi shares her learnings on supporting her kids to help them thrive including expectations, acceptance and more... When Randi Thompson visited an orphanage in Kazakhstan more than 20 years ago, she saw teens forced to move out with no place to go, no skills, and no hope. Inspired to create a new future for these kids she went to work building Kidsave programs and she hasn’t stopped since. Randi is a 30-year veteran of outcome-based marketing and communications projects designed to effect social change. In 2016, Randi was awarded the Department of Health and Human Services Children’s Bureau Adoption Excellence Award for Child Welfare/Judicial Systems Change for Weekend Miracles. Randi is active in the Equity Committee of the Foster Together Network a group working to increase and enhance the provision of culturally responsive and competent care for Black children, in an effort to facilitate well-being and improve their life outcomes. To Randi, a mother, wife, daughter, sister, and grandmother, family is everything. https://www.facebook.com/KidsaveInternational/ https://www.instagram.com/kidsave/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/randi-thompson-a15a078/ https://www.kidsave.org/ Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.
