Thank you for your honesty and trust. (I got this sentence written & then sat for a few minutes with nothing left to write.) I am grateful to be on this pilgrimage with you toward hope.

Thank you for sharing, so honestly. I have heard similar stories from other parents of adoptive children who have had trauma. Keeping eyes upon the one who loves us so much, is a constant source of strength. Sending love and light

Katie,
I so appreciate your trust in us as a community. The trauma that you, your husband, and your boys are walking through must be so hard. I love your visual – keeping your eyes on Jesus’ eyes, those steady, loving eyes.
I look forward to more conversations with you and hearing more of your story.

Wow, thank you for sharing with us about your adoption journey and experience with your child’s trauma, and activation of your own, on a daily basis. My heart goes out to you. This must be one of the hardest things a parent can deal with. I envision for you a cloud of witnesses holding you up as you work through this and give yourself space for what you need to walk out on the water, to grieve and to heal.
