Description

Waiting is a normal part of the adoption process. But what happens when your wait seems infinitely long due to a global pandemic? Herbie Newell, President and Executive Director of Lifeline Children’s Services, joins us to answer questions about the status of international adoptions and what families can do to advocate for their children. He also shares practical tips on how to wait well regardless of the type of placement you're waiting for.

If you’re an adoptive parent looking for hope, practical tools, and friends who understand, this podcast is for you! Between the two of us, we represent all three parts of the adoption triad. We’ve been around the block a couple times with kids by birth, adoption, and foster care. And lived to tell about it. Don’t worry. We get it. And we’re here for you. Gain confidence in your parenting and hope for your family’s future.
