I want families to go into adoption with their eyes wide open.

I subscribe to all that you say!<br /><br />As an adoptive parent, one thing that helped me to feel less lonely was to join the facebook group<br />Parenting with Connection<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/447908295293006/<br /><br />The group is not only for adoptive parents but many of the topics discussed there (in a very personal way) are very relevant for our children and us. I wish I had found it much earlier.<br /><br />It is a closed group but you can ask for access easily. <br />This is what they say about themselves on their FB page:<br /> <br />We support parents in implementing connection based tools. For more information on the models that we support please reference The Connected Child by Karyn Purvis, Beyond Consequences Logic and Control by Heather Forbes and No Drama Discipline by Dan Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson.<br /><br /><br />There is also a group for parents of older children,<br />"Parenting teens and tweens with connection"<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/942465962448980/<br />Group members are very supportive of each other. I could ask lots of questions and got lots of hard-earned advice from other parents in the trenches on what worked and what did not for them.<br /><br />Maybe you would want to share more about your own experiences as well - either here or on FB?<br /><br />Thanks for all that you are giving a voice!<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-3488397066724569242019-05-09T04:27:32.421-04:002019-05-09T04:27:32.421-04:00Well written!

I wish I knew an adoptive family (other than yours via the blog Julia!). I would love to fold the Hobson's socks and bring my teens and elementary school kids along to help and learn! Goodness how I wish I knew a family locally who needs help. Any ideas on how to find one?<br /><br />Sue Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-28297642772935107572019-05-08T09:44:03.670-04:002019-05-08T09:44:03.670-04:00It's like you watched our lives last summer an...It's like you watched our lives last summer and then wrote this.

I have cried out loud so many nights that there just is "no help Lord" and "I am alone." I know we're not really alone, I know Jesus is here but what I've needed on the hardest days, weeks, and months - is tangible, "Hey, let me fold your socks and wash your dishes" help!!! TANGIBLE HELP! Not just "I'll pray for you." <br />Ryan Hobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086425616554360515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-6878017428889933842019-05-07T22:05:24.664-04:002019-05-07T22:05:24.664-04:00God bless you for putting into words what is in so...God bless you for putting into words what is in so many hearts.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02231746193552183931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-29597473685252209432019-05-07T17:56:00.182-04:002019-05-07T17:56:00.182-04:00very well written!
