🚜 How Side-by-Sides Help Me Heal as an Adoptee 🏁

Growing up as an adoptee, I carried a lot of emotions—grief, longing, and a search for identity. But I found an unexpected way to process it all: "Side-by-Sides."

There’s something about the rush of the ride, the control of the wheel, and the open road ahead that mirrors my journey of self-discovery and healing. In my latest YouTube video, I share how these adventures have become a powerful metaphor for navigating my adoption story.

If you're an adoptee, in reunion, or simply someone searching for healing in unconventional places, this one’s for you. We are in this journey together.

"Thank you that was beautifully said. That describes every single feeling I’ve had. One of the hardest things dealing with being an adoptee is that you cannot talk to your family about this. They are completely ignorant to the fact that there is Issues that their love cannot fix They believe that if they give love it erasers everything that has happened." Watch and learn more here:

💔 Have you ever wondered how adoption shapes a child’s core beliefs? Many adoptees carry deep, often unspoken beliefs about themselves, love, and belonging. From feelings of abandonment to struggles with self-worth, these beliefs can shape their identity and relationships for a lifetime.

✨ Nancy Verrier was a presenter Celia Center, Inc. Conference in 2012 in Los Angeles. She explored the common core beliefs of adoptees, and how they develop. Whether you're an adoptee, adoptive parent, or someone who cares, this insight can bring understanding and healing.

🌟 **November is National Adoption Month & National Family Court Awareness Month!** 🌟

This month, we’re spotlighting the importance of family stability, the adoption journey, and the role of family courts in safeguarding children’s best interests. Did you know that over **120,000 children in the U.S. are waiting to be adopted** and that the family court system handles more than **250,000 child welfare cases** each year? These cases are pivotal in determining safe, permanent homes for kids across the country.

To help children better understand family court, check out this new animation: What is Family Court?
📽️ https://youtu.be/rMCLxlCTghE
This video gently explains the family court process, offering a child-friendly guide to navigating what can sometimes be a confusing and overwhelming experience.

Let’s continue raising awareness and supporting every child’s right to a safe and loving family! 🧡
