Today we’re talking about the real emotions a woman may feel when she begins considering adoption — the hopeful ones and the fearful ones.

In this first episode of our December “Hope in Adoption” series, Heather and Kim explore how hope shows up in adoption from every perspective—often quietly, sometimes unexpectedly, but always powerfully.

They look beyond the usual ideas of hope and talk honestly about how it appears for:

Women considering adoption: the hope for stability, safety, and being understood
Waiting adoptive families: the hope that grows through persistence, preparation, and small moments of encouragement.
Birth fathers: the often unseen hopes they carry for their child and their role.
Everyone after placement: the hope found in connection, openness, and relationships that grow over time.
