A lot of us are more comfortable with rules and boundaries and work than we are with receiving. So, how can we learn to receive from God?
Shannon Dingle shares a story about her four children adopted from two different countries and she encourages believers to make the church a safe place.
Adoptive and foster parents know about trauma and attachment, so their churches should too. But what does that mean?
How should we, as the church, respond when countries close to international adoption?
When we choose our words about adoption, let’s do so carefully so that we don’t add to the trauma and hurt that might already be present in our churches.
Although Shannon's children have several disabilities or early childhood trauma, she encourages you to put your trust in God and allow Him to make beauty from brokenness.
