Where we recognize the hard and celebrate the beauty of adoption, foster care, and kinship care.
The Hope Circle is a Christ-centered community for adoptive, foster, and kinship moms seeking encouragement, understanding, and hope.
The Hope Circle is for you if you're longing for friends who truly understand and will welcome you just the way you are.
This is not a community where you have to pretend everything is going well.

Guidance in overcoming blocked care
As an adoptive mom, TBRI Practitioner, and spiritual director, I offer coaching deeply rooted in my faith in Christ. While I enjoy providing parenting guidance, my primary interest is in supporting you, the parent.
Most parents come to me feeling discouraged and tired. Sometimes they’re scared and not sure they can go on.
Many parents are grieving the loss of the life and family they had. They are grappling with the gap between what they expected their life to be and the reality of what they are living. They worry about the impact on all the children in the family.
Often, parents are experiencing something called blocked care, and while they continue to provide for their child’s needs, their heart seems to have left. They may hardly recognize the parent they’ve become.
And to touch on the deepest pain, sometimes parents wonder where God is in all of this.
As a wife for 42 years, parent for 39 years, and adoptive parent for 19 years, I’ve experienced the highest joys and deepest sorrows of being a mom. Jesus has given me the courage and hope needed to stay the course.
I offer private coaching to parents who want to focus on their own emotional and spiritual health. Parenting at this intensity requires pouring energy into your children. I want to pour into you and help you find hope and endurance for the journey.
Parents tell me it’s a relief to be completely honest about their struggles. They appreciate that I share wisdom gained over decades of parenting my crew. They have confidence in my experience as a TBRI Practitioner, the knowledge I have about the nervous system, and parenting children with early adversity.
Most of all, many parents are thankful to know I seek wisdom from God as I support them.
