Are you facing something bigger than you? Have you been in a battle with the enemy? Is he waging war against you and your family? Are you struggling to trust God because of past experiences with other people breaking your trust? God's integrity makes Him TRUSTWORTHY. Even if we haven't called on the Lord first, the moment you do, He is ready to take the battle against the enemy to the next level. The enemy stands NO CHANCE against His might and His wisdom and His power! Listen in as Autumn shows us why we can trust God to fight our battles because of His character shown in 2 Kings 3. Monologue: Autumn celebrates 10 years since her youngest daughter's Gotcha Day! Message: Autumn shares examples of God's might and power from both her personal life and in Scripture. Testimony: A listener shares her gratitude for the ministry and how it's encouraged her through low points, a miraculous pregnancy and tragic loss, and increases in her faith. Autumn prays for God's deep mercy to bring life forth in this woman's womb.

In this episode, we talked about R&B/Rap stars, moonshine, and what even just seeing a picture of a coffee bean does to Megan. Megan confuses us all by re-enacting a viral conversation we don't remember. Amy and AP discuss how our plans for Halloween evening differ from Megan's.

Reimagining Culture's Adoption Narratives with Gayle Swift "What our children need is our common ground, our empathy, our support. They need us to step into their lens and understand their pain and feelings."- Gayle Swift What if the prevailing mindset surrounding adoption isn't as positive as we think? In this eye-opening conversation between Beth and adoption expert Gayle Swift, the US culture's (and churches') impact on adoption is challenged. It may cause you to question everything you thought you knew about adoption. Which adoption myths do you believe? And are you willing to view it differently - from an adoptees' perspective? In this episode, you will be able to: Gain acknowledgment for an adoptee's biological heritage and interests, fostering a more comprehensive perspective about adoption. Uncover the concept known as the ghost kingdom and how it impacts adoptees, deepening your awareness of their inner world. Question the term 'Gotcha Day' and explore alternative ways to celebrate adoption, broadening your perspective on this pivotal event. Understand the immense influence the church has on adoption, and the growing need for enlightenment and support. ===============
This was a hilarious pod, y'all. The boys get into their busy summer weeks, Barrington's Gotcha Day, the new Yeezy drop, more songs in your head when you wake up, the amazing Barbie movie marketing, Bronny James had a cardiac arrest, Doja Cat's new song, Benny The Butcher did a beer collab with Froth in Buffalo, Messi scores his first goals with Inter Miami, the Saudis want to pay Mbappé a billi, Kodak Black did a song with 6ix9ine and dissed him on it, the Drake and Central Cee freestyle, RIP Tony Bennett, the hilariously weird NPC trend, Jadakiss' pause hypocrisy, Joe Budden says Childish Gambino and Drake should have an actor/comedian battle, A$AP Rocky disses Travis Scott, and more of the Best Debut Single game.

Pam is one of my favorite teachers from the Midwest who has stretched and deepened my spiritual understanding of horses. In this interview, she does not disappoint! If you are curious about why we are here and your purpose in life or connection to the earth and to animals, you will want to tune in to this conversation.We connected through a poster of Pam with her horse at The Festival of The Horse and Drum outside of Chicago many years ago, on the hottest day of the year. Later, I was a speaker at her Horses and Hearts Retreat at Coach Horse Ranch, and became an Equine Certified Facilitator with Pam over the years. She was, and still is one of the pioneers in the industry of Equine Assisted Coaching.I loved hearing that Black Beauty was also a part of her story, as it is for many, and her deep connection with her mother in her formative years with horses and even today in her work with others. It was her mom who read Black Beauty in the tub and that inspired her to buy 3 horses for her daughters, and eventually they had a herd of 15. Later in life, the idea of "Equine Assisted Mental Health... was not even a thing, and then it fell in to [Pam's} lap." As she says of her first course of study at Prescott College, "we learned on the ranch, not from a book..." Pam's explanation of Skin Memory and Bone Memory around the 10-15 minute mark is fascinating. She has studied with many tribes and was eventually called to bring a tipi to her own land, which she has also learned to work with and listen to. Around the 23 minute mark, she talks about The Eagle Story with a herd of yearlings, and what eagles and young horses whinnying may represent spiritually.In the second half of this interview, we consider how to reach people who may not understand or know that horses have a spiritual dimension to them. Pam talks about learning to work withe her horses at Liberty and studying with the trainers behind Cavalia, and addressing the more masculine training methods that have been passed down with these new ways we are learning that are universal. We also talk about how to support animals in crossing over the rainbow bridge, and where we live and why.Connect with Pam here:Website: https://equineaca.com/Youtube: Pam Kachelmeier - https://www.youtube.com/@PamKachelmeierEquineACA/featured (this only has 3 videos and 19 subs last upload was 7 years ago, but the link of this channel is in her website navigation)Youtube: Pamela Kachelmeier: https://www.youtube.com/@coachhorse1 (this has the most recent upload and more subs the link for this channel is found on her video vlog)Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/equineaca/ (found her fb group page as well)Business email: support@equineaca.comIn case no one has told you today, we want to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day and remind you that WE LOVE YOU, and so does an animal in your home, or nearby - perhaps today is your "GOTCHA DAY!!"

This question surfaces for many animal lovers, be their pet a dog, a cat, or a horse, and Maya brings it to us for Valentine's Day! Maya's love for her home kicks off this interview, which was done in the fall of 2021, and ends with this question. In between, we explore the ways we have changed since entering motherhood, including what and how we love people, places and things. We go deep about how our own childhoods have shaped how we prioritize now for our own children.It is amazing to consider the healing available to us in each generation. "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy," and there are so many ways for a mama (or papa) of an animal or child to find joy and serve. Maya feels very much called to help women to chase their best lives, explore therapy, and practice self love. Maya also shares her profession and passion for helping women and children in shelters, which she has now channeled in to her podcast, Fearlessly Divine. We question what confidence is, and why so many young girls and women seem to "lose it."Enjoy this thoughtful conversation about family, closeness, and love. There are a few miracle stories in between that you will not want to miss! As a fellow mom, professional, and podcaster (we met through Cathy Heller's Your Turn to Podcast Course), we loved mutually exploring our lives and life choices. .

910. The final Grammar Girl word-of-the-year vote came down to "inflation" and "quiet quitting." We look at the interesting arguments voters made for both. Plus, we look at why some words that start with "un-" mean "not" and others mean "reversed"— and about the especially interesting words that can mean either (and why).| Transcript: https://grammar-girl.simplecast.com/episodes/2022-woty/transcript"Un-" Words SegmentWritten by Edwin L.

Thanksgiving marked our 10th "Gotcha Day" with Vesper, and in January, he'll theoretically be 14. It took a while to bond with him -- in large part because he has 3 distinct personalities that turn on and off without warning -- but we wouldn't trade our reactive Mr CrankyPants for anything in the world.Share your story!

Happy Gotcha Day Louis!
Many of you have heard of the term “Gotcha Day” over the years, and it seems like it isn't going anywhere. For those new to this term, Gotcha Day is a day our adoptive parents have picked to celebrate, reflecting the day our adoptions are finalized. While I think many of them might have good intentions, this term is problematic for many reasons. I write this article to offer another viewpoint from an adult adoptee. I don't wish to throw anyone under the bus if you choose to celebrate this day. While I have read many articles written by adoptive parents, why they choose to celebrate this day, and even an article or two from a biological mother, I have not read an article focused on an adoptee's perspective.

Prince celebrates his Gotcha Day! As more people turn to rescue and adoption and more shelters embrace progressive policies, this could be the story of every shelter animal in America. The AKC wants you to believe that a dog shortage has reached crisis proportions. A gender studies professor objects to helping disabled dogs and cats gain mobility. Raleigh, NC, criminalizes compassion for “feral” cats. There are no chickens in the new “chicken” nuggets for sale at the stadium of the San Francisco Giants. The market for vegan meats will increase five-fold over the next 10 years. A Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that a Kansas law making it illegal to film and publicize animal abuse on farms violates the First Amendment. A new study finds “that pets owned by people experiencing homelessness” are as healthy “as the general pet population.” The number of communities placing over 95% and as high as 99% of the animals is increasing. The youngest orca at SeaWorld in San Diego has died. And a new study out of Oregon State University set out to answer the question: Do cats love us? No surprise, they do.These are some of the stories making headlines in animal protection:* Is there a "Great American Dog Shortage"? The AKC wants you to believe that there is. They also want you to believe that shelter and rescue dogs are dangerous and the only way to meet demand is to expand commercial breeding. But what do we find when we follow the evidence instead of the money? What we find is that rescue and shelter dogs can meet demand, that these dogs are dying for homes, and that the vast majority are healthy, friendly, and pose no threat. We don't need to factory farm dogs.* Dymka, a cat suffering from frostbite that required amputation of all four of her legs, is walking again thanks to 3D printed titanium legs. She's one of many dogs and cats who were either born with a disability or suffered accidents but are being helped by prosthetics or wheelchairs. Unfortunately, not everyone is celebrating. In a new book, a professor of gender studies at Kansas State University, tragically objects to these stories, claiming they “reveal salacious and almost pornographic exceptionalizations of disabled bodies” and “erase” the experiences of disabled people. They do no such thing.* An animal control officer in Raleigh, NC, is accusing the mayor of feeding a feral cat in violation of law. The Mayor said that the City will be “fining me at my house every day. I have my favorite feral cat and he is like one of the family.” Banning the feeding of community cats, she says, “goes a little too far.”* There are no chickens in the new “chicken” nuggets for sale at the stadium of the San Francisco Giants. The new nuggets are part of an overall growth in plant-based foods with Bloomberg reporting that the market for vegan meats will increase five-fold over the next 10 years: from $30 billion in sales to over $160 billion. That is good news for animals, including chickens, who are the most abused animal in the world, with over 60 billion killed every year to be eaten.* A Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that a Kansas law making it illegal to film and publicize animal abuse on farms violates the First Amendment. The Court held that Kansas may not legislate speech in order to prevent undercover investigations that expose inhumane conditions. It is a victory for anyone who has spoken out on behalf of animals abused and killed in any context.* A new study finds “that pets owned by people experiencing homelessness” are “as healthy as the general pet population, even finding that the animals are less likely to be overweight.” People of all walks of life love their pets.As more people turn to rescue and adoption and more shelters embrace progressive policies, the number of communities placing over 95% and as high as 99% of the animals is increasing:* Ewing Township, NJ, reported a 99% placement rate for dogs, 99% for cats, and 100% for other animals. It is part of the most exclusive club in the movement: those placing 99%+.* Pequannock Township, NJ, reported a 100% placement rate for dogs, 98% for cats, and 100% for other animals. For dogs and rabbits and other small animals, it, too, is part of the most exclusive club in the movement.* Likewise, Porter County, IN, reported a 97% placement rate for dogs and 97% for cats.* The shelter that serves the cities of Bridgewater, Manville, and Green Brook, NJ, reported a placement rate of 98% for cats, 98% for dogs, and 100% for other animals.* Marquette, MI, reported a placement rate of 96% for dogs, 98% for cats, and 98% for rabbits, hamsters, and other small animals.* Fulton County, IN, reported a 100% placement rate for dogs and 97% for cats.* West Milford, NJ, also reported a placement rate of 95% for cats, 98% for dogs, and 100% for other animals. These shelters and the data nationally prove that animals are not dying in pounds because there are too many, because there are too few homes, or because people don't want the animals. They are dying because people in those pounds are killing them. Replace those people, implement the No Kill Equation, and we can be a No Kill nation today.* In tragic news, the youngest orca at SeaWorld in San Diego has died. The company does not know why. Amaya was only six years old. She is at least the fifth young whale to die in captivity across marine parks in the U.S. this year, many of them suddenly with some experts opining that it is captivity itself which is to blame. SeaWorld is no stranger to poor care and early death of orcas which led the California Coastal Commission in 2015 to ban the breeding of orcas at SeaWorld and ruled that no new whales from the wild could be kept there. And, finally, we all know how much we love our cats, but a new study out of Oregon State University set out to answer the question: Do they love us back? OSU researchers recruited people and their pet cats to determine whether cats, like dogs, see their caregivers as surrogate parents. The study found — to the surprise of no one who has ever lived with cats — that they do. In fact, their attachment was as good as children and better than dogs.While some have suggested that the study was a waste of time and money and that anyone with cats could have told researchers that, studies like this are still important. As long as they are non-invasive, voluntary, and allow the cats to quit or walk away if they are bored or stressed, the studies help overcome a bias in the scientific community of “underestimating cats' socio-cognitive abilities.” And having more studies conclude that cats have a rich inner life, deep feelings, and a great capacity for love can only serve to increase their status and the view of their moral worth. This is important because it is not just university researchers who have this bias. This view of cats is also historically endemic in the sheltering community. Shelters often treat cats as second-class citizens, with the bulk of program resources, socializing efforts, and volunteer time spent with dogs. This isn't necessarily because people love dogs more and cats less, but because they believe that dogs need more and cats are relatively low-maintenance. This study and others like it prove that cats suffer psychologically if not provided stimulation, socialization, and made to feel loved and safe. They deserve a fair share of sheltering resources. And we can use studies like this to push shelter managers to make sure they get it. This is a public episode.

Welcome back to Pawfee Podcats! In this episode your hosts Gremi explore the ideal traits of neonatal kitten fosters - those who help bottle feed orphaned baby kittens without moms every 2-3 hours. It's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it! Could that somebody be you? Listen to this episode to find out if it's a fit for your lifestyle. If not, there is probably another type of pet you could foster or maybe volunteering at the shelter is your calling. There is *always* a way to help homeless pets in need. As usual, we step back and look at some bigger picture topics within the animal welfare world in this episode - terms like kill vs. no kill shelter and what it really means when you hear you're saving a life when you adopt a shelter pet. You're not necessarily snatching them from the jaws of peril as you walk out the door on their Gotcha Day, but you're making a positive difference in the butterfly effect that is an entire shelter's population of animals! Thank you! We hope you learn something new and interesting in this episode about animal welfare. Please send us your feedback, comments, stories, and questions at emig@hhhstopeka.org or gracec@hhhstopeka.org. Thanks for listening!
Today is a special day for our family-- it is GOTCHA DAY! On November 4th, 2019, we had the privilege of adopting our daughters from the foster care system in South Carolina.

November is Adoption Awareness Month-- we encourage all HR and Business Leaders to consider how to best support your employees participate in this incredible cause.

I want to dive deeper into the topic of adoption and share with you my own experience of raising children of a different race than my husband and I. This often gets flagged as a very heated topic and I have resisted discussing it until now, but it important and I always I promise to be authentic with all of you.Let me start by saying, “Happy Gotcha Day Thomas!” In honor of my favorite day, the discussion of adoption is perfect. After listening to the episode, please let me know your thoughts and if you know anyone who has gone through transracial adoption, please have them listen to this and connect with me.[03:30] “Gotcha Day”, adoptive parents often celebrate this as it is the day we bring our child home. It is also the day a birth mother decided to do the most brave, courageous, selfless, and loving thing. To me, adoption is the most loving gift in the whole world. It is important for your child who has been adopted to know what a happy day Gotcha Day is. In our home we celebrate Gotcha Day as the day ever.[06:50] Different states have different processes for adoption. Waiting periods can vary from a few days to a month. We have to go through a whole range of things in the adoption world that are pretty scary and uncertain.[09:33] If you are a parent raising children of a different race, you have to do your homework, be sensitive and be culturally aware of the differences. We attended a camp for white parents raising African American children. There were pros and cons to this experience. I would say the greatest pro was that our boys got to see other families that looked like ours. The whole concept of the camp was beautiful but the conversations got a bit sad and hurt my heart sometimes.[15:40] When you are a transracial family, you sometimes don’t know where you fit in. We have faced racial discrimination and for people to say that racism does not exist, does not know what they are talking about.[18:30] Then besides the skill color issue, we also have to deal with language people use with our family. Such as saying the term “real parents” instead of “birth parents.” If you are an adoptive parent and you hear someone ask, “Who are their real parents?”, that crushes your soul. Please be mindful of terms and language that is used when speaking to adoptive parents.[19:35] People think and want to believe that color doesn’t matter. I also want to believe this to be true, but unfortunately it does matter. As my kids grow older I have to teach them how it is to be a brown man in this world and all the things that come along with it. We are lucky because we live in a small community with a good group of friends where people look out for our boys, but the reality is that our community is mostly white.[21:25] One of the things I’ve had to do a lot is politely educate others. We get asked a lot if our boys are twins, “real” brothers, and where they’re from. And as our boys are growing up and understanding more, I need to protect them more. The sad thing is that if my boys were white, I don’t think anyone would ask these questions.[24:23] We’ve experienced covert racism. We do still live in a world of white privilege and believe that we still need to talk about the fact that race is an issue.[28:30] With adoption you always have to be ready with questions, reactions or things that might happen with your children. It’s a beautiful journey but also a hard one. It is not easy to see your child want to wipe away their brown skin and be white.[35:05] One of the things my husband and I want to create is a place where white parents raising kids of a different race can get together and feel accepted. We know how important that is for our children. If you know of anyone who is also looking for this, please have them reach out to me.Links:Mama Shrink WebsiteMama Shrink Facebook PageEmail: drcynthia@mamashrink.com

Welcome back to Season 2 of the Adoption and Fertility Finance Show! Laura Coleman continues to explore the intersection of finances and adoption and fertility with an emphasis on building strong families. In today's podcast, Laura interviews Walter at Follow the Orange Backpack about intentionally planning a Disney vacation that is affordable, but that doesn't bankrupt the family. How to Save Money on Lodging at Disney World. The most expensive part of a Disney vacation budget is lodging, either on or off the park. The next most expensive budget busters are park tickets and transportation/food. Walter talks about the benefits of staying in the park to help reduce the cost of transportation. He talks about the benefits of several families going in together to rent a house outside the park. He encourages families to visit the parks in the off-peak times of January to March and Labor Day to Thanksgiving. How to Save Money on Transportation at Disney World. Disney works hard to make transportation easy in the parks. They have their own transportation system, and they make every effort to make it accessible. If you are flying into Orlando, you can take the Magic Express directly from the airport to the resort and skip renting a car. When staying outside of Disney, shop around for the best deal on car rentals from places like Enterprise, Hotwire, and Alamo. How to Save Money on Tickets at Disney World. While planning your Disney vacation, remember that there is always a sale going on; you just need to find it. Undercover Tourist is a website that shows you Disney hacks, including ways to find cheaper tickets. Walter at Follow the Orange Backpack also encourages families to use credit card points from places like Target, Fred Meyer, and Costco to maximize the cost of the trip. If you have limited time at the parks, Follow the Orange Backpack has downloadable pdf itineraries with great ideas and plans on how to maximize your time at the parks. How Can You Have the Most Fun Possible at Disney? Walter advises families to take frequent breaks, eat regularly, and go at the pace of their children while at the parks. He talks about the importance of creating anticipation for the children to stretch as much enjoyment from the vacation as possible. Special Grants and Programs for Adoption and Foster Families Going to Disney World In the podcast, Walter and Laura talk about Disney grants for adoptive families. After the podcast, we realized that there aren't any official Disney grants, but there are non-profit organizations who offer grants for fostering and adoptive families. In addition, Disney encourages visitors to let the staff know if you're celebrating a Gotcha Day or similar special event. Disney parks work hard to make your family vacation a memorable event. Funding Love helps adoptive families build deeper connections and stronger bonds through an all-expenses paid vacation to Disney World. Adventure is Out There seeks to increase the welfare of family relationships through Disney and family bonding experiences. Both of these non-profits are new and would like to get the word out about their mission to help adoptive families heal and bond through a Disney experience. If you know of any adoptive family who could benefit from their purpose, please share this podcast with them. If you loved this podcast, please subscribe and follow us for more conversations about the intersection of adoption, fertility, and finances. Are you ready to become a forever family? Schedule your judgement-free appointment today to talk with Laura about where you're at in your financial journey, where you'd like to be, and how you'd like to get there.
Gotcha Day. This is common vernacular for adoptive families. We just celebrated Wesley's this last week. But then we got to thinking - is that ok to call it that? How do adoptees feel about the word and the spirit of Gotcha Day? We opened this conversation up to Social Media, and we got a lot of really great responses. Most of our friends who have adopted like to celebrate this day as a family, as a means to lift up the culture that the adopted child has come from, and as a celebration of the great joy the adopted child has brought to the family. But a perspective that a lot of adoptive families are missing is that of the adoptee - especially if they have adopted very young children. But speaking to adult adoptees who are able to voice their thoughts and opinions - we got some of those! You can see the whole post here. We, at the Watson home, have decided to no longer call Wesley's adoption day 'Gotcha Day'. We will continue to recognize it as a celebration day for our family, and we do love to celebrate with our friends who have adopted as well. We are mindful that it is a great day of celebration for us, but may cause sadness for Wesley, and other adoptees for missing their biological families. We want to be open to the many layers of emotions that surround most momentous occasions in an adoptees life. We are always so thankful to be able to have communication with all parties involved in the adoption triad - the birth family, the adoptive family, and the adoptee. All these voices are so important, and when they are in communication with one another, it makes the triangle stronger! Thank you Arrow and Root (if you are looking for someone to create a beautiful and ethical adoption profile book, check her out!) and Alison Shiloh, and of our amazing followers for contributing to this conversation! We love having respectful, humble, and open-minded conversation with everyone who has something to share. We have no judgment for people who have been using the term 'Gotcha Day', and continue to use it. We will try to educate people on the choice that we have made. But something to remember is that 'you don't know what you don't know', but it's important to have a spirit of wanting to learn, grow, and improve, every day. For the good of yourself, and especially your children. The (Good) Word of the Day: "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen." 2 Peter 3:18 May we all be growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus! It will cause us all to be kinder, more compassionate, and more forgiving. This leads us to be able to understand others, and to seek to be understood afterwards. May we all try to grow in the grace and knowledge of one another, as well. Thanks for tuning in to another week of the Fostering Voices Podcast!

This helps others to find our podcast so we can share these voices from the foster care and adoption community with more people!

Dana received her original birth certificate and when her husband looked up her birth mother’s name they found her obituary. It took her two years to find an address for her surviving aunt and a year to find the courage to write to her. Her Aunt gave Dana a name for the man who could be her birth father, but he was also deceased. Luckily DNA testing told a different story. Read Full TranscriptDana: 00:03 She never knew about me.

I’m Damon Davis, and on today’s show is Dana. She called me from Ohio A state we know has opened adoption records. Dana shares her story of growing up with two younger siblings, biological to her parents, but feeling equally loved by her parents. She tells the heartbreaking story of learning that she would never meet her biological mother and the near miss of a second heartbreak with her suspected biological father. Luckily, Dana was able to recover from some misinformation to learn her father’s identity. This is Dana’s journey. Dana grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally, her mother didn’t think she could have children, but after Dana’s adoption, their family did expand naturally. Dana: 01:43 My adoptive, I’m like, um, a series of miscarriages and she was told that she, she would never have a child see a child of her own to full term. So she put it in an application through the Catholic charities and they called her like on her birthday and they told her that we have this little girl here, she’s French and Serbian, we know that your husband is, would you like to come look at her?

From a mange-covered dog in a shelter to a healthy, energetic ball of muscle, she has changed the way I look at the world and is constantly reminding me of these life lessons.

In our fourth episode of Around the World with The Archibald Project we sat down the night before Gotcha Day and interviewed Stephen and Wellon! We were able to hear their heart and excitement and learn from some of the hard things they had to walk through during the adoption process.
