Openness in Pre-placement for Domestic Adoptions with Liz and Sarah
08/23/22 • 17 min
The Main Thing:
Surprise! If you didn't catch it on our Instagram, Sarah and her family are awaiting placement in their second domestic adoption process. If you listened to our very first episode, you know how quickly placement occurred with their daughter. This time has been very different and allowed for an opportunity to build a beautiful relationship with a birth mom.
If you're open to openness, but wondering what that might look like pre-placement, Sarah's chatting about her own experience in this mama-minisode!
Everyone's story and experience are different. Each adoption and placement are unique. This is a small opportunity for us to give you, our faithful listeners, a glimpse into our own lives and how we're learning alongside you in this beautiful adventure of building families. We hope you enjoy it! Episode Resources:

Maximizing the Process with an Adoption Consultant with MacKenzie Mygatt
The Main Thing:
We've had the privilege of exploring the adoption process from a number of angles thanks to our guests and their willingness to step into the mess with us!
For Episode 058 we're sitting down with MacKenzie Mygatt - not only is she an adoption consultant (and walked the process with Sarah during her second domestic adoption process!) she is also an adoptive mom and has an incredible heart for the entire journey that is the adoption process. To know MacKenzie is to know thoughtfulness, incredible care, encouragement, and to be covered in prayer. She is such a light in this daunting process for families and has such a breadth of knowledge when it comes to navigating the ups and downs.
If you're considering adoption and curious about what it means to have a consultant be part of the plan, this episode is for you! Episode Resources:
