Adoption, Interrupted w/ Clare Kane
Adoption is a beautiful pathway for fruitfulness, whether or not a couple struggles with infertility. When a couple decides to explore adoption and go through the process, they invite a child into their hearts and their families, which is a beautiful fruit of their love. But adoption is not guaranteed to go according to a couple’s desired plan for their family. Today, therapist and Springs professional Contributor Clare Kane joins Ann to talk about what happens when the process stalls or stops, and how couples can manage the pain of an interrupted (or failed) adoption.Links:Springs of LoveBlog Post: Gratitude and AdoptionBlog Post: Nothing Simple About ItBlog Post: Adoption RedeemedBlog Post: Who Does This Child Belong To?
