Are you an adoptive mom who’s lost (or just misplaced) those loving feelings? Planting seeds of love is more than just going through the motions but compassion fatigue or other obstacles can make it feel like that’s all you can manage to do. This episode is part of a series on “Planting Seeds” of love, growth & learning in the midst of challenges of post-adoption life.

These Tuesday Trauma Tips are bonus episodes that I am trying out in addition to our regular episodes. Regular episodes tend to be a bit longer while my intention is for these tips to be bite-sized. Audience feedback will be used to determine if these become a more permanent feature of the podcast.

Embracing acceptance over accountability offers a transformative perspective for Christian mothers navigating the journey with their adopted teenagers. This approach does not imply condoning negative behaviors but fosters an understanding that these actions often stem from deeper, unresolved issues. Moving towards acceptance allows mothers to establish clear personal boundaries while promoting healing and growth, creating a nurturing environment that reflects their commitment to their faith and family values.

By implementing an acceptance lens, these parents can cultivate space where genuine connection and growth can flourish, counterbalanced personal boundaries. As part of the Authentic Modeling Method this shift gives adoptive moms a peek into a powerful approach that can be transformative within a context of unconditional love and forgiveness.

This method not only transforms the way mothers interact with their teenagers but deepens their own faith journey, drawing them closer to the essence of Christ's teachings on love and service. >>>Show notes for this episode can be found at dawnbaggett.com. >>>For additional support adoptive moms are invited to join the Circle of Second Moms Facebook group here: http://dawnbaggett.com/landing/opt-in-to-fb-group >>>To apply for private post-adoption coaching click here: https://dawnbaggett.com/page/waitlist >>>To hear more be sure to follow the show & turn on automatic downloads so you can listen to new episodes offline whenever you want.
