Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Katy sits down with Brittany for an honest conversation about growing up adopted, becoming a mom, and defining family on your own terms.Brittany shares what it was like being adopted with her brother, how her mom talked about adoption, and how motherhood has shaped the way she looks at identity, belonging, boundaries, and family. Whether you're adopted, raising an adopted child, navigating complicated family relationships, or simply drawn to honest conversations about motherhood, this episode is a reminder that family does not have to look one specific way. It can be defined by love, safety, and the people who show up for you.
Jason Miller preaches from Galations 3:26-4:11. Paul continues to defend the gospel of justification by faith in Christ alone by listing the many benefits that believers receive in Jesus. Faith in Christ unites us with His death and resurrection, and with all believers despite our external differences. God sent Jesus at just the right time to accomplish the redemption and adoption of His people. God sends his Holy Spirit into our hearts to confirm our relationship to the Father. With all these blessings available to us, why would we turn back to legalistic religious performance to win God's favor? Grace Community Church exists to build spiritually healthy people for ministry in the world. One of the ways that we pursue this mission is by gathering each Sunday for corporate worship, prayer, and biblical teaching. The corporate nature of this gathering is both edifying to the believer and a witness of God's grace to the world. Sermon speaker is Scott Patty unless otherwise noted.
Traditional service featuring our NPC Chancel Choir and one-of-a-kind authentic organ.
What is the gospel, really? In this sermon from Romans 8, we discover that the heart of the Christian faith is not merely forgiveness, but adoption into the family of God. Through Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we are no longer slaves to fear but beloved sons and daughters of the Father. This assurance of God's love transforms our identity, our hope, and the way we live each day.
April Henry's latest thriller, In The Blood (Christy Ottaviano Books, 2026) introduces readers to Tessa. Adopted as a newborn, Tessa has always wondered who her biological parents are. After turning eighteen, she takes a DNA test in hopes of finding the answers. With best friend El and lab partner Victor, Tessa uses the results to start building her family tree. But they find more dead ends than answers. Her biological mother, who was raised in a religious cult, has cut all ties with her controlling family. And her biological father remains a complete mystery, at least until the police show up. For fifteen years, they've been trying to identify a serial killer known as the Portland Phantom. Tessa may be the link they've been waiting for. Learn more about your ad choices.

Creating a Family: Talk about Infertility, Adoption & Foster Care
Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!How can storytelling help kids heal? In this episode, we talk to Dr. Sharon Zaffarese-Dippold to explore how story helps children make sense of their experiences, build resilience, and move toward thriving, including simple, everyday ways to begin using it at home. She is a psychotherapist with 27 years of experience in counseling and author of the "Garbage Bag Life" series, which emphasizes her journey through foster care.In this episode, we discuss:Can you tell us a little about your own journey and why helping children make sense of their stories became such an important part of your life?What did you wish the adults around you had understood about what you were carrying as a child?Why are stories such powerful tools for helping children heal?What is it about a story that often feels safer than direct conversations, especially for children who have experienced trauma, loss, foster care, adoption, or family disruption?What happens when children don't have a coherent story about their lives?What are some of the questions they may silently wrestle with?Many parents and caregivers are afraid of saying the wrong thing around a child's story. What do you suggest?What does it mean when a child moves from "What's wrong with me?" to "What happened to me?"What are some simple ways parents and caregivers can build storytelling into everyday family life?Stories can be used for more than understanding a child's history in adoption, foster care, and relative care. They can also help children recognize their strengths, resilience, and a sense of belonging.How can parents and caregivers use storytelling to build family identity?Resources:How to Talk with Our Kids About the Difficult Parts of Their StoriesHow to Make and Use an Adoption LifebookBuilding the Framework for Adopted & Foster Children to Process the Hard Parts of Their StoriesThe Healing Power of StorytellingSuggested Books for Kids: Adoption, Foster Care, and Kinship CareSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

The International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism has become one of the world's most influential and contested tools for identifying anti-Jewish hatred. Adopted by universities, public institutions, and governments across the globe, including here in Australia, supporters argue it helps recognise antisemitism in a consistent way, while critics say it can be used to blur the line between antisemitism and legitimate criticism of the state of Israel. Kenneth Stern is one of the lead drafters of the IHRA definition and a former director on antisemitism and extremism for the American Jewish Committee. He says the definition has been "weaponised" in ways he never intended, particularly when it's used to regulate speech or shut down debate on university campuses, the media and elsewhere. He's speaking to SBS reporter Tee Mitchell
Every child deserves to see themselves reflected in the story of how life begins.But for adopted children, donor-conceived children, and children born through surrogacy or IVF, traditional conversations about reproduction often leave them feeling like an exception instead of part of the story.In this episode, Rebecca sits down with family physician and educator Dr. Robin Dickinson to explore how parents can talk about bodies, reproduction, consent, and adoption in ways that build confidence instead of confusion. Together, they unpack why the language we use matters, how to make birth stories both truthful and empowering, and why these conversations should start much earlier than most parents realize.Whether you're parenting through adoption or simply want to raise body-confident, emotionally secure children, this conversation offers practical tools that every family can use.In this episode, we talk about:Why every child shares the same origin story—and how that simple truth creates belongingHow traditional sex education unintentionally leaves adopted children out of the conversationWhy using anatomically correct language helps protect children and build body confidenceHow to tell your child's adoption story honestly while honoring their birth parents with compassionWhat "the body remembers" means for children adopted at birth and how to parent with greater sensitivityHow to teach consent, healthy relationships, and body safety from the earliest years—not just during the "sex talk"About Dr. Robin:Dr. Robin Dickinson is a family physician, educator, and creator of a comprehensive body literacy and reproduction curriculum designed to help parents have honest, age-appropriate conversations with children. Passionate about inclusive education, Dr. Robin teaches families how to talk about bodies, reproduction, consent, and relationships in ways that affirm every child's story—including adoptees, donor-conceived children, and children born through surrogacy or assisted reproductive technology. Through her work, she helps parents replace shame with confidence and create conversations that foster belonging from the very beginning.Connect with Dr. Robin:Website: https://docrobinschool.com/Free Parent Guides: https://docrobinschool.com/talkResources Mentioned: Project 127: https://www.project127.org/ The Body Keeps the Score: https://www.besselvanderkolk.com/resources/the-body-keeps-the-scoreRG Adoption ConsultingWebsite → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com Book a Complimentary Adoption Strategy Session → https://rgadoptionconsulting.com/contactAre You Ready to Adopt?

The Single Dad Adopted a Homeless Girl—15 Years Later She Walked Into Court and Saved His Empire.
Adopted by God — Pastor Jason Burns Religion tells us to earn God's love, but the gospel tells us we already have it. Through Galatians 4, this message explores how embracing our identity as God's children leads to lasting freedom and joy.
This episode of Chasing Heroin features John Nettles, host of Recovery Refined and a team member at Refine Recovery in LA. Adopted at four days old and raised in St. Louis, John started using young. Weed at 13, blackout drinking by 15, and a benzo prescription at 16 that fueled an addiction lasting well over a decade. He got into the rave and EDM scene, became a DJ, and started a promotion company, all while his drug use kept escalating into cocaine, Xanax, and eventually a move to Chico, CA to grow weed and "start over," which didn't work.He cycled through multiple treatment stints starting at 24, including two trips to Sierra Tucson, each one followed by a relapse. A DUI, other legal trouble, and a series of increasingly dangerous blackouts (including one at his grandmother's house in Rhode Island) finally pushed him to call a sober coach who leveled with him bluntly: he'd never actually been sober, only abstinent. That call led him to Refine Recovery at 29, where, for the first time, treatment stuck. He talks candidly about getting a sponsor, doing the steps, and rebuilding his life from the ground up, plus how he stumbled into working in treatment and later launching his own podcast.He also opens up about finding his birth mother through an AncestryDNA test in his mid twenties, and the surprisingly close relationship they've built since, including meeting his half brother and starting a new family Thanksgiving tradition.Today's episode is brought to you by Seasons in Malibu. For over 18 years, Seasons has been a sanctuary for individuals seeking to reclaim their lives from addiction and mental health challenges. Our story began with a simple but profound vision: To create a luxurious sanctuary for individuals struggling with addiction or mental health issues, where they can receive the finest, evidence-based treatment in the world.Built on Compassion, Driven by ExcellenceWhat started as a small number of compassionate professionals has grown into one of the nation's most respected luxury treatment centers. But growth has never meant losing sight of what matters most—the individual engaging with our therapists, one-on-one, taking the courageous first step toward healing.From the beginning, we understood that truly transformative treatment requires more than clinical protocols. It demands a personalized approach, led by the most qualified professionals, in an environment that nurtures the whole person. That's why we've assembled a team where every primary therapist holds a Doctorate in Psychology - a distinction virtually unmatched in our field.Check out Seasons Malibu online or call 1-866-314-5160 for more information.Connect with Seasons on Instagram Connect with John on InstagramDM me on InstagramMessage me on FacebookListen AD FREE & workout with me on Patreon Connect with me on TikTokEmail me chasingheroine@gmail.com

What does it really mean to belong?For Isaac Melber, the answer wasn't found the day he was adopted. It was built through countless small moments of love, consistency, and the freedom to embrace every part of his story.In this episode, Rebecca sits down with author, adoptee, and aspiring pastor Isaac Melber to explore life through the eyes of someone who remembers being adopted. From growing up in a remote village in Ethiopia to navigating identity, grief, anger, faith, and eventually returning to his birth country, Isaac shares a perspective that every hopeful and adoptive parent needs to hear.This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, powerful storytelling, and gentle reminders that adoption isn't about erasing a child's past—it's about helping them carry it with love, honesty, and hope.In this episode, we talk about:The small moments that create a true sense of belonging beyond simply being lovedWhy a child's anger is often directed at their story—not their adoptive parentsHow to talk honestly about loss without defining a child's future by itThe difference between helping a child feel chosen versus making them feel rescuedWhy embracing a child's birth culture should become part of the entire family's cultureWhat returning to Ethiopia taught Isaac about identity, healing, and finding peace without having every answerAbout Isaac:Isaac Melber is an Ethiopian adoptee, author, speaker, and aspiring pastor. Adopted at five years old by a family in Kentucky, Isaac now shares his story to encourage adoptees, adoptive families, and anyone wrestling with identity, loss, and belonging.

Rebecca relives her wild journey from Taiwan to Louisiana, where a one-year exchange student experience turned into a permanent place in the Robertson family. Uncle Si gets a surprise reminder that his first meeting with Rebecca nearly ended in a 911 call after he showed up for poker night alone at Willie's house. John-David and Martin are floored by her questionable McDonald's habit, and Rebecca shares how her global childhood, fashion career, downtown business, and husband all became part of the unexpected path God used to make Louisiana home. Plus, Rebecca tries to teach the boys her Taiwanese name with debatable success.

Happy Fourth of July! Earlier this week, as the country prepared to mark America's 250th anniversary, we wanted to take a deep dive into the document that all the celebration is about: The Declaration of Independence. Adopted unanimously by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, the document announced that the Founding Fathers saw the Thirteen Colonies as sovereign states and were no longer subject to British colonial rule. Since then, it has become one of the most influential documents in history. However, there is so much you probably don't know about it. That's why this week on the FOX News Rundown, we spoke with Ray Raphael, a historian and author of several books about our founding, including “A People's History of the American Revolution: How Common People Shaped the Fight for Independence.” Raphael discusses the challenges and debates the Founders faced while drafting the document, as well as some unusual facts about that period and those who signed it. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear this conversation in full. Today on the Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire conversation with Ray Raphael so you can learn even more about the Declaration of Independence and the significance of celebrating America 250.

Adoption is often viewed as a happy ending, and sometimes it is! But for Thenedra, her experiences as a child in the foster care system and later as a trans-racial adoptee were — and still are — much more complicated than that. This is an episode about what can happen when trans-racial foster and adoptive parents are not just unprepared to raise traumatized children, but also unprepared to raise Black children in a predominantly white society.

In this episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Blake Mathews shares his story of addiction, adoption, and finding faith through music. Adopted at birth and raised in a Jewish household in Phoenix, Blake started DJing weddings and bar mitzvahs at 13 and built a career in music and nightlife while quietly hiding a worsening addiction for over a decade. By the time he moved to Nashville in 2014 to chase a career in the arts, he was a high functioning alcoholic leaning on psychedelics, convinced they made him a better artist, while the people closest to him had no idea how bad it had gotten.Blake opens up about hitting bottom in Nashville, calling his dad for help, and getting into treatment within 48 hours, only to relapse after walking away from music entirely and moving back to Phoenix. He found lasting sobriety on a sober hike up a mountain he stumbled onto by chance, and he's been sober since. Today, Blake is the founder of Sober House Records and co-founder of Formerly Intoxicated, a nonprofit bringing music and healing arts into treatment centers and prisons. He shares how a chance encounter with two strangers praying in a coffee shop changed everything, and how he turned his pain into a mission: redemption is real, prevention is possible, and recovery is for everyone. #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today's episode is a little different because we're sharing some really exciting—and honestly, emotional—news. If you've been with us for a while, you probably know that Family Brand has been a huge part of our lives for the last seven years. It's been a dream, a calling, a business, and in many ways, something we've grown right alongside our own family. So today, we're sharing that Family Brand has officially been acquired by Libertas. Before we go any further, though, I want you to know this: we're not going anywhere. Chris and I are still very much part of Family Brand, and we're more excited than ever about what comes next. As we've reflected on this journey, I keep coming back to where it all started. Years ago, I found myself at a crossroads, wondering whether I should return to nursing or pursue this little idea that just wouldn't leave me alone. I couldn't fully explain it, but I felt this persistent impression that I was supposed to help build stronger families. I had no idea what that would look like. I didn't know how to start a podcast, build programs, or run a business. I just knew I needed to take the next step. Looking back now, it's incredible to see what can happen when you simply say "yes" to something that feels bigger than yourself. When the opportunity came to partner with Connor Boyack and the team at Libertas, I honestly wrestled with it. Family Brand has felt like one of our children. We've poured our hearts into it, celebrated victories, worked through setbacks, and watched it slowly grow. One day while I was journaling, an analogy came to me that brought so much peace. It felt like giving a child up for adoption—not because she wasn't loved, but because she could have opportunities we simply couldn't provide on our own. And the beautiful part was realizing we weren't saying goodbye. We would still get to watch her grow, cheer her on, and continue being part of the story. That perspective changed everything for me. What makes this transition feel so right is the alignment. From our very first conversations with Connor, it became clear that we shared the same heart: helping families become stronger. We weren't looking to sell Family Brand, but we were looking for ways to reach more people. Seeing Family Brand become part of an organization that already serves families in so many incredible ways feels less like an ending and more like an expansion of the original mission. And already, we're watching ideas we've dreamed about for years begin to take shape with resources and a team that can bring them to life. If there's one thing I hope you take away from this episode, it's this: don't let not knowing how stop you from saying yes to what you're being called to do. So often we think we need the whole roadmap before we begin, but that's almost never how it works. You take the first step, and then the next one appears. Family Brand exists today because we were willing to start before we felt ready. And now, this next chapter exists because we were willing to trust that sometimes the greatest act of stewardship is letting something you've built become even bigger than you imagined. We truly can't wait to see where this journey goes next—and we're so grateful you've been on it with us from the very beginning.

Let us stand in awe that the universe, that all of creation is waiting for us to be revealed as God's children! It's like waiting for the curtains to rise, for the show to begin. Is it not the unveiling of God's plan? Might we seek to look and be our best, to occupy our time here with growing up into maturity so that when the time comes, when we go home, we are indeed recognized as looking like Him, acting like Him, and belonging to Him? Indeed! Listen to what God says about who we are.Daylight Meditations is a daily podcast from CFO North America. Please visit CFONorthAmerica.org to learn more about our retreats, and online courses.

Anna Leah describes creating LimitlessPower2Connect.com and a children's book on emotional intelligence and the emotion wheel, supported by a CASA grant to distribute resources to kids in the court system. She and Rick discuss pressures adoptive families feel to perform, the importance of prayer and community, and how the gospel fosters connection and transformation from the inside out.

In this prayerful episode for Flag Day, Lynette Kittle reflects on what the American flag has meant to generations of citizens who have lived under its colors, fought beneath it, and looked to it as a symbol of the freedoms they hold dear. Adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, the flag has witnessed war, sacrifice, and the ongoing pursuit of a more perfect union, and it still stirs the hearts of those who love what it represents. From the iconic photograph of six Marines raising the flag at Iwo Jima to Isaiah's imagery of banners lifted on mountaintops, the raising of a flag has always carried weight. It speaks in an instant of a nation, its people, and its values. On Flag Day, Lynette invites us to do more than admire the symbol — she calls us to pray over it, asking God that the nation it represents would be one that truly honors His name, walks in His ways, and stands for the freedom that comes not only from the Constitution, but from Jesus Christ Himself. As Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes it, the American flag represents "self-rule under God," and that is worth both celebrating and interceding for. Today's Bible Verse "Till you are left like a flagstaff on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill." — Isaiah 30:17, NIV Ponder Today A nation's flag is more than a symbol. It is a witness. In a single glance, a flag communicates what a nation stands for, who its people are, and what they value. What we pray for our flag is ultimately what we pray for our nation. Flag Day is an invitation to intercession, not just celebration. Gratitude for what our nation has been is inseparable from prayer for what it can yet become. Let patriotism lead you to your knees on behalf of the country you love. Much blood has been shed defending what the flag represents. The sacrifice of those who served beneath its colors deserves our remembrance and our gratitude, on Flag Day and every day. The truest hope for any nation is that it would trust in God. Laws, constitutions, and military strength all have their place, but a nation's greatest foundation is the acknowledgment that its liberties and blessings ultimately come from Him. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, we pray for our nation's flag to wave in humbleness and hope, representing a country that honors and glorifies Your name above all others. Let it be carried and waved by a people who follow Your ways. Let it stand, too, for the true freedom given to us through Jesus Christ, God's gift to every person who receives His salvation and freedom from sin. With sincere hearts, we ask You to make America a nation that truly trusts in You, and may our flag reflect that trust to the world. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Drop us some Fan Mail. Thanks!Question: Our daughter is 11 months old and was adopted through an open adoption. We have a relationship with her birth mother, but don't yet feel it's the right moment to ask about family history, and her birth father is completely unknown to us. We do know that both birth parents are Hispanic, but beyond that, we have no additional information about her heritage or background. We want her to grow up with as rich a sense of her identity and heritage as possible. What guidance do adoption professionals offer around using genetic testing like 23andMe or AncestryDNA for adoptees? Is there an age-appropriate time to do this, or is it better to wait and let her decide for herself when she's older? Are there any other considerations unique to the adoptee experience we should keep in mind?Resources:Genetic Testing for Adoptees: Key Considerations and BenefitsGenetic Testing for Adoptees - Is It Worth It?Genetic Testing and Genealogy for AdopteesListen here to learn more about our Executive Director, Linda FioreSupport the showPlease leave us a rating or review.
