Hi Neighbor, Welcome to Adoption Struggles and Support. I’m Tim, an adoptive parent, adoption life coach, and ambassador of encouragement.

  • 205 – If You’re Feeling Lost as an Adoptive Parent? THIS Could Be Your Lifeline!
    Sep 6 2025

    “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” 🌿 Ecclesiastes 3:1

    Whatever season you’re in on your adoption journey, we can get through it together.

    If you’re feeling lost as an adoptive parent, THIS could be your lifeline. Remember, you’re not alone!

    Hi Neighbor,

    Solomon in Ecclesiastes reminds us: there’s a time for everything. Whether you’re grieving 😢, celebrating 🎉, or searching for answers 🔎 in your adoption journey, every season has value and purpose.

    Every adoption journey has its own season. Sometimes joyful, sometimes tough💔. You’re not alone walking through it. There’s a community waiting to support you, no matter what chapter you’re in.

    Are you feeling lost as an adoptive parent? You don’t have to walk alone. Find encouragement, and let others walk with you through the highs and lows. Connection is your lifeline.

    Anchors of Hope and Healing are on the way.

    Your Neighbor, Tim 💙

  • 204 – 5 Encouraging Bible Verses to Guide Adoptive Parents Through Life’s Fog
    Aug 28 2025

    How do you navigate through the fog of life? I would like to suggest you consider relying on Someone with a better vantage point ✨. Someone who can shine the light on your path.

    Hi Neighbor,

    Adoptive life can feel foggy, uncertain, and overwhelming. Sometimes the best way forward is to slow down, trust a higher perspective 🙏, and let go of needing to see every step ahead. What would it look like for you to drive with “low beams” today?

    In this special mindset episode of Anchors of Encouragement, I would like to suggest you consider relying on Someone with a better vantage point, Someone who can shine a light on your path.

    We’ll consider this question in light of verses found in Psalm 119, Ecclesiastes 12, Micah 6, and Mark 12.

    And finally, make a direct application to the adoption journey from James 1.
