Empowering Adoptees with Resilience with Tammy Young

How can we help adoptees develop confidence, resilience, and a healthy mindset throughout every stage of life?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Kim King is joined by educator, Certified WISDOM Coach®, and adoptive mom Tammy Young. Drawing from more than 20 years of teaching and her personal experience raising three adopted children, Tammy shares practical ways parents can help children recognize unhealthy thought patterns, build self-esteem, and develop resilience rooted in truth and God’s love.

Together, Kim and Tammy discuss:

• Why the “unspoken thoughts” adoptees experience matter—and how parents can create a safe space for honest conversations.
• Common questions adoptees may wrestle with as they grow.
• Helping children find their identity in Christ and remember they have never been alone.
• How our thoughts shape our emotions and behaviors.
• Practical ways families can strengthen healthy thought patterns and build resilience together.
• Encouragement for parents who want to support their children through every season of their adoption journey.
