The greatest need in adoption today is families for older children and sibling groups. Across the U.S., more than 100,000 children are waiting for a permanent home—and many have been waiting two or more years. The wait gets harder and less hopeful as they get older. If we understand adoption to be about giving a home to a child who needs one, that means families need to be ready and willing to adapt so they can fully welcome a child as they are. For parents, this often means adjusting parenting styles, house rules, and expectations—and that’s not an easy ask. Seven years into their adoption journey, Aaron and Jeannette share how parenting older children has changed them and their expectations. More than 100,000 children in foster care are waiting for an adoptive family. Visit https://lnkd.in/gyDwYcVW to learn how you can help.
