What does Christian parenting look like in an adoptive family?
In this episode of Let’s Talk Adoption, Heather and Kim talk about Christian parenting tips through the lens of adoption. Many of the values Christians hope to model as parents—grace, compassion, patience, and humility—often take on deeper meaning when parenting a child whose story began before they joined the family.
They discuss what it looks like to parent with faith, how adoptive parents can speak positively about their child’s story, and why adoption can be a powerful way to teach empathy and compassion within a family.
Whether you’re waiting to adopt or already parenting through adoption, this conversation offers thoughtful encouragement and perspective for families who want their faith to shape the way they raise their children.
