... Read moreAs an adoptive parent, finding a safe space where you can openly share the highs and lows of your parenting journey is invaluable. The Unfiltered Adoptive Parenting Circle offers precisely that — a welcoming environment hosted online via Zoom where adoptive families can come together without the fear of judgment or filtering their experiences. I’ve personally found that participating in support groups like this not only helps in gaining practical advice but also provides emotional relief by knowing you are not alone in facing unique challenges. The upcoming session on June 26th at 8PM MST is an excellent opportunity to connect with others who truly understand the complexities of adoptive parenting. Whether you are navigating attachment issues, dealing with identity questions, or simply seeking community and encouragement, these free support groups create a nurturing atmosphere to grow and heal. Registering in advance is essential given the limited seating, and the event can be conveniently accessed from home through the Zoom platform. The community extends beyond the talks through hashtags like #ParentingSupport and #AdoptiveParenting, providing ongoing connection and resources. If you are looking to share your story and find trusted allies who listen and support with empathy, this circle could be a transformative step in your journey as an adoptive parent.

Your kid doesn’t need privacy. They need parenting
They call it “gentle parenting” now. But what I see… is moms scared to upset their kids. Afraid to say no. Afraid to check the phone. Afraid to be the bad guy. I check the tablet. I open the apps. I watch the videos. I watch the games. I will check his future phone. I will check the DMs.
