Nicole,
Bel Air would be great! I’ll send a follow up email.

We ended up finding a local adoption agency that provides a lot of post-adoption support teaching the TBRI classes. After 9 months of classes (they stretched out the material quite a bit), it is switching to a support group format. We are continuing with that group and so glad we have that option.

I agree with you on your points about how the church is failing families. Long before I became the mom of an attachment-challenged kiddo, I had 2 special needs siblings – one with developmental disabilities, one with mental health issues. My family has been through lots and lots. My parents’ church has gone through seasons of being helpful and seasons of not being as helpful. Their previous church was solidly in the not-helpful category.

It upset me as a sibling. As a parent now, it makes me want to cry. My husband is in church leadership, and we have a hard time communicating what families really need in a way that people understand. It’s not because we don’t try to communicate, it’s figuring out what language to speak that helps them see what they’re missing.

(I also homeschool our teenager and don’t really care about academics because the emotional and relational stuff is SO MUCH MORE IMPORTANT.)

It is a watered down, man-centered, feel good message. No hearts are being transformed from hearts of stone to hearts of flesh. Faith comes by hearing. Most churches are so program focused and very little on the expositional preaching of God’s Word – which He Himself promises will not return void. If pastors would focus on expounding God’s Word, not stories or non-offensive soft messages, hearts will grow in faith and love in Christ. When a heart is transformed, a fruit of that, is a natural love for people… which works out in a desire to care for them. The last thing most churches need, is another program. They need the Gospel. Weekly. Daily. Now.

Heidi,
I’m so glad you are becoming a trainer and you’ve found the hope your family needed!

Our hope is to bring it to our area churches and serve the families. We are currently leading a Created to Connect study. The Connected Child is what saved our family from falling apart. We adopted and she has Sensory Pricessing Disorder, and other stuff. Dr.Karyn’s principals work. 🙂
