Walk Toward The Greater, Healed Vision of Yourself and Your Life, Starting Today!
The Californer/10293060

AGOURA HILLS, Calif. - Californer -- Adoption is a lifeline of support and opportunity for countless people, but it can bring challenges and emotional conditions that are often silenced or left unaddressed, including PTSD, risk of suicide, and fear of abandonment.

For generations, adoptees have been required to pretend they don't feel the pulse of their heritage beating within them. They often experience a number of pain points: the feeling of being unwelcome in the world, internalizing broken bonds, and a deep sense of loss, distrust, and rejection, to name a few. But there is a path to healing!

Author Michelle Madrid experienced these challenges as a foster child and international adoptee. As an adoptive parent and adoptee-empowerment coach, she shares how to best approach the complex emotions and psychological turmoil of adoption in Let Us Be Greater.
