Together Families
My Story
Although Chiyomi had spent years walking alongside adoptive families and knew their joys and challenges, I assumed parenting would be the same across the board. We adopted two of our children—and I quickly found myself overwhelmed, convinced I was simply a “bad parent” who couldn’t guide them well. After much encouragement, we finally attended the “Refresh” conference in Washington
There, everyone received “Me Too” paddles to raise whenever a story resonated. I raised mine constantly. Looking around at the sea of paddles, I realized—I wasn’t alone. I was understood and I had hope.
So here’s my encouragement to you: You’re not alone either. Parenting resource or adoptive children is a privilege, but it’s not easy. That’s why we’re here. Link up with a Together Group or attend a Hope for the Journey simulcast. I truly believe it can make a world of difference. We’d love to walk out this journey with you.
