Testimonials

“What a gift hearing from Julie was! We both feel like her honesty and willingness to be candid was so helpful to set us up for success in parenting our future adopted children.” 

“We so appreciated Julie sharing her story. We learned to not be afraid of questions that our child may ask, to encourage their journey in embracing their identity (struggles and all), and validate their feelings in the process (don’t dismiss what they might be struggling with).” 

“Such a powerful story. It showed the pitfalls that we can avoid when raising (an adopted) child.”

“I will forever be shaped by Julie’s story and learned so much that I will take with me as I parent my own adopted child.” 

“I can tell Julie has processed through so much, and it was wonderful seeing her perspective of past difficult situations with her adoptive parents and the forgiveness and grace she has for them. A great reminder to be ready for people asking questions about our kid’s adoption and being sensitive to letting them tell their story.” 

“What a powerful testimony! She is an extraordinary woman and God’s hand in her story is so evident.” 

“Julie’s immense courage in openly sharing her life story and experience as an adoptee touched our hearts deeply. We are profoundly grateful for Julie’s guidance, her honesty, vulnerability and willingness to discuss sensitive topics.”

“I really appreciated Julie’s perspective on how things impacted her, how jokes carried with her, how the unspoken or too often spoken phrases were hurtful or fueled her internal struggles with who she was. Her story was insightful and helped give another perspective to what it is to be adopted and to prepare to adopt.”
