Chiseled and Called

I have enjoyed Brittany’s content over the passed two years, but unfortunately I am choosing to unfollow now. Through their adoption journey they have chosen to use incredibly offensive terms such as “children of our own” and “failed adoption”, and calling a woman a “birth mother” before she signs relinquishment papers. To people actively in the adoption community (myself being an adoptee and writer for adoption.com), these terms are not okay. I have tried to reach out with my concerns, but my comments always get deleted. Jordan & Brittany seem unwilling to learn about adoption from people with real life experience, and this is concerning for any future children they welcome into their home. I truly believe their hearts are in the right place, but they seriously need some proper adoption training before going full steam ahead in the adoption process. I really hope this review comes across their radar, and they they earnestly seek wise counsel (proverbs 1:5) (adoptees, birth moms, and veteran adoptive parents). I have recommended the podcast “ADOPTION NOW” hosted by April Fallon, an adoptive mom x 4. “Who am I really?” Hosted by Damon Davis, adoptee and adoptive dad x 2, and “birth mothers amplified” hosted by two birth moms. I have also recommended they read “the primal wound” by Nancy Verrier, an adoptive mother. And that they seek out articles on adoption.com. For example an article I wrote from the perspective of an adoptee all grown up, “adoption language matters”. It’s all about how my adoptive parents used the CORRECT language when raising me, and how others used harmful terms that effected me negatively as a child. This gathered nest, a set of Christian parents who have adopted 6 children, are a fantastic resource on YouTube. As well as Phil & Alex Congelliere, another Christian family on YouTube who have adopted two girls. As someone who is employed for the purpose of educating hopeful adoptive families, I can no longer listen to their hurtful adoption language and not be heard when I speak. I pray God opens the eyes of Brittany and Jordan to all the many resources from the adoption triad, making their future adoption a healthy one for them, their future child, and that child’s biological mother.

I was curious as to why Brittany asked Jordan not to Google her. I paused the podcast then I googled her and I can’t support this woman after her predatory acts against vulnerable women.

Hello ugly, and also to your ugly husband. Your clothes choices lately are absolutely trashy. You’re not modest at all. Just because your disgusting belly is bigger doesn’t mean you should hike up tops that are meant for non pregnant people. You’re Brittney of course your going to body check yourself and show skin. Anyhow I hope you either never meet you baby or it has severe special needs because you truly deserve that your orange garbage can.

Thank you for your election episode, thank you for sharing the truth boldly! This was going to be the first election that I was NOT going to vote in, but the Holy Spirit has been weighing heavy on me that I need to vote. God Bless you and the work you’re doing, and bless your little family! Can’t wait to see it continue to grow ♥️
