Finding Support & Community While Waiting To Adopt
A Conversation With The Infant Adoption Guide's Tim Elder
The Adoption Wait, Episode 1
“We want the confidence that we can do it and know that it’s going to work out okay. And you don’t know. But, that’s why I strongly encourage community for everybody because those people get you.” – Tim Elder, Founder of The Infant Adoption Guide
In this episode, we talk about finding community and support while waiting to adopt. Tim Elder is an adoptive dad (times three) and the creator of The Infant Adoption Guide, a website and podcast that serves as an incredible resource for waiting adoptive families. Tim talks about the adoption wait and how finding the right group was the key to staying encouraged and finding hope while waiting to adopt. Tim is so passionate about this topic that he created The Infant Adoption Guide Community as a safe space for other waiting families to connect and support each other while waiting to adopt.
Here’s what you will hear:
- Why waiting adoptive families need to go on vacation.
- How connecting with other waiting adoptive families increases confidence & hope while waiting.
- How private online communities help eliminate the noise of larger online groups.
